ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A Bronx neighborhood group is using bacon, peanut butter and cheese to lure some 10,000 rats to their deaths within a month.
Hispanics Across America planted more than 20 boxes of fatty food around Joyce Kilmer Park -- two blocks from Yankee Stadium -- on Sunday. Once inside the boxes, the rats would be exterminated, said Fernando Mateo, the group's president."
