- description: According to a new report, the number of pest complaints in New York City jumped by more than 2,000 from 2012 to 2013, almost a 10% increase. Comptroller Scott Stringer on Sunday called the health department's response to the problem weak and inadequate. New York City is, somewhat infamously, known for its rats. Stringer said, “This is a rat race we’re all losing and it’s one that affects our quality of life. Our audit found that the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene wasn’t managing its pest control program effectively, even as the number of complaints about pests grew." http://feeds.mashable.com/~r/Mashable/~3/wSP9P8jeWss/ http://www.wochit.com
