I live in an area outside of Los Angeles - and have never seen a rat problem this bad. We've spent thousands on exterminators - and still the rats keep coming! My neighbors on either side have also had exterminators out - repeatedly.

I'm surrounded by rats! ON the wires, under the house - on the city council, in the statehouse. Rats, rats, rats! All of them...

Finally got the problems solved....

I live in Bakersfield. Every older neighborhood here has what we call tree rats. I poison them. I use plastic saucers for planters nailed to the top boards of our back fence. Fill them with rat pellets. A few years ago we wound up with rats in our attic. Cost me $500 to get rid of them. Don’t want to go through that again so yeah, I poison them.
