Landscaping Tips to Avoid Attracting Rats in Silicon Valley

Aug. 14, 2008

Categorized in: LG Lifestyle

Tagged with: landscaping, los gatos, rats, roof rats

Got rats?

Roof rats abound in Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, and Saratoga. Our lush vegetation, the mild weather and the abundant food sources must be too irresistable. They are not as uncommon as we'd like them to be!

Recently I learned quite a bit more about landscaping and how it can attract (or deter) rats. If you're interested in some practical landscaping tips - mostly a list of what NOT to plant or keep - please visit my Valley Of Hearts Delight Blog, where I posted on this subject earlier tonight.
