From the Daily News:
Transit workers speculate the musky smell of death is from the few rodents an authority contractor actually managed to kill with poison. The odor emanates from the bottom of an elevator shaft, where some of the vermin took their last breath, the workers said.
For the most part, however, the rats at the Parsons/Archer hub are alive and kicking. And if the MTA is waging a war against these whiskered pests, it's losing - and losing badly.
A short distance from the busy hub's platform is a square concrete room where the MTA temporarily stores the garbage until station cleaners pick it up. There were about 75 bags in the room; some piled on the floor, others stuffed into metal bins.
The garbage train that hauls the trash to a transfer facility hadn't made a stop at the station in three or four days, a cleaner said.

That smell has been there for years. The dead rats might be contributing to it, but it is primarily a combination of piss, feces, garbage and smelly homeless bums that inhabit the platform and the tunnels.
Smell? What smell?
bum piss. bum shit.
Why do we let them enter the transit system? Its not like they have to go to work!
As long as New Yorkers are pigs, there will be more rats and vermin than there needs to be. It's that simple.
Anon 1 has it correct. The smell is human feces, not rat corpses.
ban the homeless, ban food & drink. Smells will magically disappear.
How do you do that?

I bet this shit smells like perfume compared to any street in Flushing.
Actually, you aren't suppoesd to carry any open container with liquid onto the system. That doesn't seem to stop millions every day from breaking one of the least enforced laws in the city.
