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 ?

Yes, have had them. Just poisoning them is temporary. Need to plug all the entry points on the house so they can’t continue to come in. Even if you don’t have palm trees, they’ll come from neighbor’s trees. If you hire an animal control company it’s not cheap. But it’s done!
