Default Rats

Kept hearing noises coming from the attic late at night and after checking allll around the house could not figure where they came in or...what it was making the noise. also tried leaving "bait" in the attic to which they never found

Finally one night after getting up to go to the bathroom I glanced out the window to see a whole line of rats headed to the bird feeder. I guess they were eating the sunflower seeds.

Next day I went to Lowes and bought some "Decon Rat Killer" pellets and put them in the corner of the outside patio. Two days later I picked up 3 GIANT rats that were dead in the yard. So far no other problems

I've lived in Fla for 53 years and saw my first raccoon squirrel yesterday on sweetgum.

Please don't tell our cats there are rats here. They love to hunt, and the
Iizards don't provide enough entertainment.

I was raised in Florida, and saw a rat one time under the bird feeder (not in TV). Feeder left next day. Please tell me how much time you have spent in Florida.
