Above all, the garbage that lands in plastic bags on the side of the road every day provides the best conditions for rats, who are eager to reproduce. But rats are not the only pest that 21st century metropolises have to contend with. Cockroaches, bed bugs and mosquitoes also pose a huge problem. And in North America alone, termites cause billions of dollars worth of damage every year.
EcoHealth Alliance President, Dr. Peter Daszak discusses the expanding urban infestation and the growing number of pests in our cities. Is there a chance to defeat rats, cockroaches and termites and fight against the infestation?
