HOBOKEN, New Jersey (WABC) -- Hoboken is the latest metropolitan area to join the war against rats. The City of Hoboken saw an increase in rats after the pandemic and is on a mission to implement rodent mitigation tactics to eliminate the unwanted pests. "I think it's really happened since COVID," Hoboken resident Paul Presinzano said. "Anytime you leave and things are disturbed nature comes back.
