The country plans on exterminating rat species that have been introduced from other parts of the world. Other introduced species that will also be eradicated include possums and stoats. These species have been responsible for killing millions of native birds each year, including the kiwi.<\/p>\n<p>Officials know that getting rid of rats will be one of the most difficult goals to accomplish, since they\u2019re good at hiding in urban areas. The country also wants to ensure that they have the support of the public for this project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rats in NJ<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Could NJ follow a similar plan as New Zealand&#8217;s for getting rid of rats throughout the entire state?
