Correction: Rat Contraception-NYC story
In a story published April 14, 2024, about a proposal to reduce New York City’s rat population through birth control baits, The Associated Press erroneously reported that one such contraceptive, ContraPest, is a pellet. It is a liquid. The story also incorrectly implied that only ContraPest could be used under the proposal. Other contraceptives approved by federal regulators could also be used.
