Rats - rats - & more rats
Yes, of course we have rats here in paradise. Some are called Florida roof rats, and try their best to set up house in your attic. Others you may see scurrying on the golf courses. Because we are a "city" plunked in the middle of rural Florida, we have all kinds of "things" that city-folk may not be used to. The hawks and eagles wouldn't be here without a food source. Also, there are "rat snakes" around, which of course, are nothing but beneficial, even though some people may be terrified of snakes. So, I have learned to be okay with what's here, and let it be. I have, however, stopped putting seed out for the birds (my pest guy called it a "rat feeder"), and make sure I make plenty of noise while working in the garden so I don't get any surprises! Hope you are able to relax and enjoy the rest of paradise !
