I am interested in knowing what happened after. Did they just give up on the rats? What do cities around the world do to control the rat population?

- protomyth 7y agoYou end up hiring "professionals" that will actually keep the spirit of the agreement not just the letter (contracts do wonderful things in the modern world). Although, I do know of one case where the locals gave up on a building (exterminator said no, the cats ran for it, and hantavirus was a concern). They cut a trench around the building, filled it with gas, lit the trench up, then set the building on fire. It was a bit horrific. They built another building on the same plot but not the exact same place.

- protomyth 7y agoIts a valid strategy, especially when you are dealing with disease or some insects. It provides a bit of a training opportunity and sometimes there just isn't any hope. If for some odd reason, you are doing thing yourself (why?!), do remember the order: dig trench -> fill trench -> ignite trench -> ignite structure. Do the order of the last two step wrong can result in a very scary video on YouTube. Do not have squeamish people there with you. Keep plenty of firefighting gear near.
