Whoever put that stricture in place needs to get out more and, at
the very least, find out what lives down their drains. I've seen
estimates that no human on earth is ever more than 15 ft from a rat
and that came as no surprise to me whatsoever. And rats are only
one sort of critter. I haven't mentioned any critters with only 2
legs.

I'd have to disagree with that 15 feet statement ... I live out
in the country , and we have a lot of critters , but AFAIK there are
no rats out here . Perhaps on some of the nearby farms where they
store large quantities of grain and feed , but we have none of those
here in The Holler ...

Ya wanna bet?

I've lived in the country for 50 years and know that there are many
rats and mice in the country and there will be rats and mice where
you live too.

Well , if they're here they're staying well hideen indeed . I have seen no
sign of any kind that rats are present . And they do leave signs of their
presence . You do realize that I live way out in the woods ?
