Roof Rats

The appearance of roof rats is NOT a sign of neighborhood deterioration.

They are NOT spreading incrementally block-by-block throughout the Valley. These creatures can be unknowingly stored away in moving boxes by someone relocating from another area. They seek neighborhoods that meet their needs. So be sure yours doesn't!
