That has been typed and published but I doubt that is the overall reason. They are here.
All of the time. They are not the Norway Rat that hangs out in big cities tall buildings that are in movies. They are palm rats or roof rats....Still rodents but they eat Palm tree (nuts?), they eat oranges and lemons that some folks grow in their yards. They eat seeds that people put out for birds, but they LOVE grease. Some people have hidden compost heaps, not good. Some people feed wild kitties, not good.
We also have gigundous Palmetto bugs who hang out in palm trees. We were told by people who had grown up in Florida, not to feed birds, plant fruit trees and think twice about palms.
Citrus Rats, Tree Rats, Palm Rats and Black Rats Are All Common Names for Roof Rats. | Alford Wildlife
