Then, search Palm Tree Rats
There’s more info there than I could cut and paste. Sad to say, they love palm trees. They also love citrus. They are not the same type of rat one finds in urban areas. They don’t necessarily want to get into your home. They love fruit produced by palms and palms provide them cozy shelter. I’ve had them run in front of my cart on golf cart paths. When we had our Sylvester trimmed, the workers found a nest of them. Sorry, guys, they’re everywhere—even if you never see one.
