Fuck that, NYC already has raccoons and those little trash pandas can't get where the rats can and they are too busy eating pizza and other junk. Poison is also bad as its an indiscriminate killer that wipes out the pests predators.
What NYC needs is to overturn Ghouliani's ban on ferrets and release a ton into the subways. I'll also take reintroduction of least weasels or stoats. Unlike the omnivore raccoon, ferrets are an obligate carnivore. There's something like a 2500 year history of using ferrets to hunt for rats. One of a ton of old sources on it: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/42305/42305-h/42305-h.htm https://www.gutenberg.org/files/42305/42305-h/42305-h.htm
