Hi! This past winter, at night I did see a rat once outside our newly remodeled house slider glass door. It was during a lull during a rainy night. I think it may have been around 3 or 4 am in January. I did read some threads after I post this thread so, now I know others have seen rats around. I guess that's no surprise since there are thousands of wildlife around the Villages. Twice we've seen very cool snakes too: 1 tiny garden snake and one big one ( I took pictures) which a public librarian identified as one of many species (and colors) of rat snakes we have in Florida. We don't kill any wildlife because they all balance nature. But we don't want them in our attic or house when we are gone traveling. We did have our preowned home remodeled back Oct 2016 including a roof line. But I've heard such horror stories! We do our own service; monthly spraying mostly for bugs. Thanks!
