Default Rats

[QUOTE=Brugi;1461884]I think we may have a problem with either rats or Squirrels in the walls of my home.
Hubby has been hearing scratching but at night time only. He has been up in the attic, can't see or find any signs other than the scratching noises.
I'm deaf, can't hear anything.
He has inspected the outside of the house for possible entry into the attic .

Well, our nice neighbor lady showed me where she found rats. In some plants in the front planter. Yep, the small plants that look like very coarse grass. So, I put paint thinner on the plants for her and also on one we have, they will not bed down in a plant saturated with paint thinner, for sure. We are going to dig out those plants. Actually, they are almost totally dead from the rats eating the tender new shoots. So the thinner will hasten this process until we dig them out. Would you believe the rats chased her small, very small dog??
Luckily, her small dog moves like Lightning.
