Yep, Florida, like many other states has 'roof rats'.
We also have snakes and a variety of raptors that love to eat 'em.

If we had a problem with 'rattus rattus' here in The Villages, we would know it.
We ALL put our garbage out, AT NIGHT, at the end of our driveways twice a week.

All 100 Thousand of us.

Our garbage is NOT in sealed cans, it is in plastic bags which are laid on the concrete.
Actually, we place ours BENEATH the canopy of our largest palm, a Sylvester.

A PERFECT smorgasbord for any roof rats hiding on any of our TV properties, waiting for the cover of night to run down from our palm trees and eat….wouldn't you think?

Here's a poll…. how many of us are having our garbage regularly eaten????

It's not happenin' at our house.
