I've only lived here 5 months, and I've seen some rats. Rats live everywhere, just like snakes and bugs, and people! While swimming in the Chula Vista pool the other night we saw the cutest oppossum! Face it folks, we and the animals are all in this world together.
Some folks don't think it is important to clean up after their pooches. But rats are attracted to and eat dog feces. So, the next time you walk your dog TAKE A PLASTIC BAG WITH YOU!
"...Unsavory as it may be, according to the experts, about forty percent of dog feces are undigested food products. When dog owners donīt pick up after their pets, they are literally leaving a rodent buffet."

Back in 2008 when this thread originated, I'll bet they could have eliminated the rats if everyone had been picking up after their pets!
