Holy crap. I live on the edge of a grass seed farm in a semi rural area so some sightings are inevitable, but I literally see rats daily. Big as a house cat sleek looking biga**ed rats. I stopped feed birds for the summer so there isn't any seeds for them to eat...but they are still doing this, my foot for size comparisons...
Yesterday, there were 9 new holes. Now...understand I see 1 or 2 rats a day, and I see new what I THINK are rat holes. I flooded the mole holes so much he left, but when I say I got rats, I GOT me some rats...no mole hills, just these big holes. Rat holes? Skunk (they live under the tort shed?) Raccoon holes? Naw, but they do come in the yard a lot at night. So I am asking, rats? Or what?
Here's what I see daily...I don't really know if the rats are connected with the holes, or what? Are my turtles and tortoises in danger? Anybody have any idea?. The professional pest people want money just to come out and tell what they are. And they want $70 for every animal they trap, but no poisons. I can trap the damn things myself...but all I wanna know is...what can/does make these holes...and are my torts in danger?????
There are several new holes in this photo can you count them???
