rat control without poison

Content note: Animal harm to a bald eagle, implied to rats.

From Universal Hub: Local bald eagle dies of rat poison.

I know the rat problem is out of control, and there's only so much an individual can do with traps and good trash management when we live in a city. But the poison is killing the raptors which, traditionally, control the rats. For what it's worth I've been trying Contrapest rat contraceptives; I don't know yet whether it works well enough. (Also dry ice, which you can buy in pellets at Acme down Kirkland and Beacon, near Inman, poured into the tunnels if you know the entrances, seems to help as well.)
