Keeping them trimmed doesn't matter; they nest in the crown at the very top.

Seriously, ask anyone knowledgeable about palms & they will tell you: keep the dead fronds on a pinnate palm (e.g. queen, date) trimmed, & never let a skirt of dead fronds form on a palmate palm (e.g. sabal palmetto, washingtonia) & the rats won't have a place to nest & you won't have rat problem. Simple as that. Enjoy your beautiful palms.
