Rodent problem in Ottawa is so bad that one city councillor is proposing using rat birth control

The city of Ottawa is considering using contraceptives to bring down a rat population that has been growing out of control for several years now.

Last month, CTV News reported that Laine Johnson, Deputy Mayor and a councillor in the city’s College Ward, was going to bring forward a motion to council to ask Health Canada to approve a rat birth control product that has been used in several U.S. cities.
