For us that have palms Removing the seed pods when ever they open up or before (in my case I have the ability to do that) takes away food source and they will go down street. As for rats in attic they have to get in somewhere? Lucky the pre-house inspector found that? If I had palms over 18 feet I just have them removed cause too tall for home owner to prune. IMO for us that has palms IMO it’s cheaper to remove them if have to have service come and prune them. I only tolerate mine cause they offer shade in afternoon and I can prune them. I also bug bomb my attic every few months, bug bombs kills anything that breathes air.
