do you mean squirrels as “tree rats”? Or are there really tree rats?
I hate rats. and have alot of trees.
Yes, they’re called roof rats.
Rats, Huge rats. Almost the size of wharf rats. They call them tree rats because they use the trees, power lines, etc. to get around. They love Cypress trees and will nest in them. We’ve been poisoning them for years. Our neighbor had a row of cypress trees along our shared fence and when it rained it would rain dead rats out of the cypress trees from when we poisoned them. He finally had them all cut down.
Don’t know how but the population got ahead of us this time and they broke into our attic. Had to hire a pest guy to get rid of all of them. He is keeping baited boxes all over our yard now to keep them knocked down.
