I remember when I was in college out for an evening with friends drinking down in an old Irish bar down in Greenwich Village. (New York City) We were walking back uptown in the wee hours of the morning and we saw so many huge rats scurrying around that we were careful where we stepped! There were no palm trees around! Roof rats live in trees, attics, and wherever they can. There are snakes, rats, squirrels, mice, bats, opossums, raccoons, spiders, coyotes, alligators, etc., in the Villages. Most of the time they aren’t a problem.

And the wiring in your cars. I have re wired a few cars in here from those rats.
