yesterday i went to the garage to look for some tools and found a dead rat instead ! yikes . i live in the south and we do n't get those . just palmetto bugs ( flying roaches ) . i think i 'd rather have those than rats , personally . yes , i hate rats ! and it was already smelling really bad . my girlfriend has complained about rats too , since she lives in the midwest . says she 'll be taking out the trash and she 'll hear them scurrying and it will freak her out . good luck to you guys who have to deal with the little disease-infested things ..
