Roof rats spotted in Mithcell west at night. Please go to this site for info:

http://phoenixabout.com/cs/desert/a/roofrat01/htm Thank you for helping keep this pests away!

we've had them in the neighborhood for a couple years now. The City of Tempe has a flyer and maybe something on the city website too. The tack and feed store west of hardy on university sells a pvc pipe trap and poison bate. The neighborhood association bought  couple last year, but one neighbor paid the neighborhood for them and kept them, so we dont have any to loan.

be sure to pick up all citrus off the ground, strip trees of all fruit as soon as ripe. close off all access to your attic, they like to sleep in attics during the day. Ron and Char caught 10 last year! happy hunting.
