The goal of public health pest management is not to eradicate rats but to keep humans and their companion animals safe from the harm that they can bring. Wade said that the government of New Zealand and the DOC had set aside a large sum of money to encourage manufacturers, distributors and innovators to come up with safe, effective, and legal forms of rodent control.
