Roof rats are the worst rodent pest in the state of Florida and most abundant. The Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus) that is familiar to most people is rare in Florida. Roof rats consume and destroy stored animal and human food, attack fruit crops, and take up residence in attics, soffits, hollow walls, and out-buildings.

Anyone have them ?

No… do not have them but have heard about them and was informed to put
Moth Balls up in your attic… ever since I have been here in THE VILLAGES, I have put them in our attic and have had NO PROBLEM…..
