Default Re: Rats and Alligators

MC - the numbers of viewers do not express an interest in the post - just curiosity. i have viewed this post several times and not replied,

Personally I think that all gators should be relocated to safer areas to protect them and us in TV. When ever someone calls about a nuisance gator it is trapped and killed. Only because some idiot decided that the gator was cute and should be fed or petted.

Gators are predators and will eat anything that comes near them and :edit: them off. Keep the children and pets away from the lakes/ponds. Golfers think that the $1.25 golf ball is priceless and will go down to the water and start sticking their club in the weeds and reeds. Besides the gators this :edit: off the unfriendly snakes.

As for the rats, maybe you should put up a sign to make sure that everyone puts their food and soda trash into the trash containers to reduce the food that the rats are there for.

As mentioned in several posts the rats can be found almost every place in TV. I see them at Walnut Grove, El Santiago, Hawkes Bay. I see them crossing the cart path on Buena Vista.

I understand your concern. I also agree that maybe the POA could be a responsible area to cover your concern - especially if they removed the full time exterminator.
