Rats live in the palms, particularly on top of Queen Palms. Queen Palms are considered trash palms and landscapers love them because they are cheap. Notice how they mostly all have frizzle top.

Anyway, plant a "real" tree, not a palm. Real trees are less maintenance, provide shade, and you won't have to worry about the rats being your next-door neighbor.
