Gracie, Ashland is south of 466. The infestation was many rats. Yes, it was because there is water and dog feces there but the main reason is because the Developer had decided to eliminate a full time exterminator. This became so bad that a professional exterminator was called in. A professional exterminator can use much stronger poisons than what they were trying to use. The pool and mailboxes were cleaned up and new traps are set every month.
Pooh, for every rat you see, there are about 10 unseen. Once you start seeing them in public places there is a problem. My only reason to comment is these recent posts didn't seem to understand the difference between animals in nature which are natural and an infestation in a public area which could have become a major health problem. Rats carry many diseases. Hope I helped clear up the confusion.
