A couple of cats might do the trick

Well, our cat is an indoor creature, and our dogs are old.

Plus, the community of rats seems to be living in the "upstairs" storage
over our detached (unused, at least for cars) garage.

I bought some traps today, report will be issued soon!

I hate to use poison in case it's squirrels, not rats (how's that for
"mean spirited"?). But peanut butter will out the rascals.

I think we're having a neighborhood-wide problem - during our walk this
morning, my wife and I saw one run over in the road a block away.

I didnot know anything about that. I cannot help you, sorry !

Squirrels are digging holes in my container plants. I've heard that moth
balls in the pots might disuade them. Anyone heard of this or have any
other
suggestions?

Thanks,
