I don't know who "mgmt" would be.

If you found that the rats were coming from an unsanitary home or restaurant you could probably file a complaint agains them. If the rats are coming from the nature areas then they are not much different than snakes, birds, or rabbits.

McClure is likely within Wildwood. You could look for a Wildwood animal control or a Sumter County animal control but I don't think they would help with rats.
