Well, you're mostly killing guards, who largely don't have the plague because they have an elixir ration. Since the guards will stomp on rats, kill weepers that they see, and presumably remove plague corpses, you aren't eliminating the carriers, but the people who deal with the carriers. So while you aren't leaving around any bodies for the rats to munch on, you're probably doing more harm than good in the long run.
