I can live w the fact that palm rats are in TV but is palm rats chewing through screens a thing in TV too? Hard to imagine they'd just chew through screening wo reason. Tell me there was something they wanted that was stored on your lanai! And are they "your neighbor's rats" bc you don't have palm trees and the neighbor does? I stupidly lured rats into my yard by feeding the birds. Only took those vermin a couple weeks to find the feeders behind a concrete wall. I removed those feeders immediately. Couple days later I saw THE biggest black snake slither through my yard. Holy cow! Rats and snakes. IN my yard! I gather the snake was there bc the rats were there (dinner) but I'm just not accustomed to rats and snakes in my yard. Kinda horrified, won't lie.
Black Racer snakes kill poisonous snakes.
