flag Johannesburg's rat crisis continues due to poor waste management and lack of sustained control efforts.

flag Johannesburg's rat problem persists despite past efforts, with experts citing poor waste management in informal settlements as a key driver. flag A recent study using isotope analysis found brown rats dominate in Alexandra and Tembisa, black rats in the University of Pretoria area, and invasive Asian house rats in Hammanskraal, all feeding heavily on human food waste. flag While the city claims ongoing commitment to rodent control, many programs have been abandoned, and lethal methods remain controversial. flag The lack of coordinated, sustainable solutions addressing waste, habitat, and public education continues to hinder progress.
