The Big Apple is winning the War on Rats.

Reported sightings of the scrappy scavengers are on track to hit their lowest numbers since the pandemic for the first half of 2026 — as major anti-rodent measures first taken under the Adams administration are seeing positive results, city data shows.

There were around 9,900 calls for rats in the first seven months of the year — marking the first time reports have fallen below the 10,000 threshold during that timeframe since 2020, according to 311 data.
