Default rats and tomatoes

I think our experience with the rat was really unusual. We think we picked him up in the parking lot at a golf course. We also had had a rat and mouse problem in California -- took care of a ranch in the middle of 1500 acres with nobody around -- and we had a rat and mice invade the same car there. My husband washed the engine out after we got rid of the rodents, but there might have been a residual scent that attracted our Florida rat. We're buying a power washer today to wash out the engine!

I don't think there would be any problems with tomatoes. But citrus rats are really common (see the link provided in the previous pages -- all about rats in Florida, very good).
