Rats!!!!!

New York City officials have found a new way to kill rats that's so effective an entire population on an Upper East Side street has been all but exterminated.
Councilmember Julie Menin told Gothamist the method has successfully eliminated over 100 rat burrows on a section of East 86th Street since the effort was launched last year. The strategy involves pumping carbon monoxide directly into the rat burrows that are found in sidewalk tree beds.
"The method demonstrated an impressive eradication rate of nearly 100% in the tree pits where it was applied," Menin's office said in a release, according to Gothamist.

It's colorless, odorless, tasteless and non-irritating.
A lot like me, except for the odorless bit.
OK, OK, and the non-irritating.
I was only joking

Rodenticide! Cease fire!
You can be assured that the IDF might consider a similar tactic - once the hostage situation is resolved.

So, you are claiming to be a person of color?

No, but I am notoriously difficult to get rid of once I'm in your basement.

Matt Deodato, an exterminator fighting the rat battle in New York told Insider that he collapses the burrows that rats reside in after killing them with carbon monoxide.
Although, in the past, Deodato said he relied on companies to haul away the dead pests — or dear friends, to those who care — leaving them there has been beneficial, in his opinion.
