Walking I noticed there is someone on Palo Alto Avenue, by the power lines/golf course street that is putting vegetables in the Curb to feed the rats! I don’t live in that area. So PLEASE everyone watch your curbs to see who is trying to be nice to the rats. I can’t believe anyone would do this, but obviously some people just don’t think of consequences.

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 ?
