Description

Rats, including non-native black (Rattus rattus), are drawn to any sort of outside food sources.

Dear Annie: I’ve lived in my home for eight years, and it’s always felt like a peaceful place to land. My husband and I have put a lot of care into it, not because we’re perfect but because we enjoy sitting outside and making our yard feel welcoming. We planted a few shrubs, we keep the grass trimmed, and I love tending to my small flower bed in the spring.
