    Man warding off a rat infestation in a one story family home is hard enough (from personal experience) but i couldn't imagine the difficulty trying to rat proof say a third floor apartment, sure you could block off the rats from three sides but they can still climb the exterior wall and get in elsewhere. Then it depends on everyone else in the building to be on the same page, meanwhile there may be vacant apartments loaded with rats too.
    What im noticing though is the issue with litter everywhere, even if everyone in the entirety pf NYC got on board for one day or week for a cleanup effort, the city's lackadaisical pickup schedule would make those efforts pointless. Clean up trash only to stack the trash bags in the street to not get picked up.

    Worked in IT in the city for 3 months. Within those 3 months installing networks and POS systems, I've seen rats in the back of restaurants, bagel shops, bars, and delis. When I started working in the city I would inform the owner that I saw a rat in the back near the food, they would say "oh it's ok, they are always back there." Keep in mind, food is always out in the open. Bagels just sitting on carts, containers are always left open, the floors only where you walk are clean, but under desks and behind desks are filthy. All near the food you eat.
    Don't get me started in the stories I heard about the old Shea Stadium. Doing the IT work there, I've been told underneath the stadium were filled with rats. You just can't get rid of them completely.
    Once I learned that, I never would eat in the city ever again. Just get a bottled drink at most. The city has been disgusting for decades.

In Seoul, if you throw away trash that contains even a little food, you will be severely punished, fined, and opened to neighbors. If you put food waste in a separate bag in front of your house, it will be collected at dawn. Recycling is done thoroughly. If Seoul mayor had neglected as many rats as New York, he would never be able to participate in politics again and could be arrested immediately after a thorough investigation.
