I sure do pity our future neighbors in TV, whoever they turn out to be. Once we move there & get settled in I'll be planting mass quantities of various PALMS, big & small. Oh no, RATS galore!!

Believe me, that's only an old wives tale, nothing more. Unless you allow a huge "skirt" of many, many dead fronds (leaves) to collect & remain at the top of your tree, you will NOT have a family of rats move in & take up residence.
