Did you ever hear it said that if you see a rat there are a hundred more 
around that you don't see?
       I have rats here every year - this year I don't know if it has been 
rats in my seeds in the garage, or if it is the three squirrels I see every 
day at the feeders. Squirrels can be just as bad, and maybe worse than rats.
