Please don't shoot the messenger
I agree. Our neighborhood near Sumter had the same issue, and the pest companies said the same thing. We have the black boxes now and the rats are under control. You can see the boxes at the post office stations and the rec centers too. Rats are nocturnal. People don't see them during the day, so they want to think they aren't here, but they are.
