No, I'm not referring to someone like Jerry Jones, I'm talking about the real deal, the rodents known as rats. The rat population of North Texas is booming, bringing a lot of work for North Texas Pest Eliminators.People are finding rats in place like their swimming pools, bird feeders, attics and dog houses.
Usually what the Pest Eliminators call "Rat Season" does not begin til the weather gets cold and the rats start invading warm spaces. But with the rat population boom the Pest Eliminators have been getting calls all year.
The rat problem is not limited to any particular part of town. The nicest of neighborhoods have rats. They are everywhere. Some blame the rats showing up in new locations on all the Barnett Shale gas drilling disrupting the rat's homes, forcing them to move. That doesn't sound too plausible to me.
Other than stopping a nearby gas drilling operation, to protect yourself from rats you can make sure you don't have any holes in your house. A rat can squeeze through a quarter-size hole. Don't put any food outside for your pets. Don't have any thing growing up against your house. Rats love living in ivy. If your house has been invaded don't battle the rats yourself, call in the experts.
I've not heard if anything has been done with the Big Cheese Rodent Factory. The city of Fort Worth had given the rat growers til the first of November to quit stinking up the neighborhood.
