Ten palms around your house and no sight or sign of rats in 15 years??
Surely you jest or you are simply unaware.
Surely you can't believe there aren't any.
Trust me . . . they are there and probably very happy with their choice of one of your ten offerings!

Neither!!!
We have them serviced (trimmed and cleaned out) 3-4 times per year.
And are quite confident there are no rats on the property!!

We have walls since we live in a CYV. For the past 6 months we've had a rabbit come every morning and evening and we fed him grapes and carrots. We also had 2 squirrels for over a year and fed them nuts. About 10 days ago all three stopped coming, it was clockwork they would be there everyday and now nothing, they're gone and I suspect they've gotten some rat poison, so be aware you can kill more than rats with your traps.

Or a smart bird of prey, also noticed the "like clockwork" pattern.
