I saw a rat in my courtyard villa about two months ago. I have Deans as my pest control. They put down two small boxes filled with a green powder. The rat will supposedly crawl into the box and eat the powder and will eventually die. Supposedly safe to other animals since the hole is small and birds can't get into it. The day after Dean's put down the boxes, I saw a stray cat with the mouse in his mouth. First time that I saw a stray cat in my yard and last time that I saw a mouse.
