I enjoyed reading StackSmith's post:
gemini://gemini.ctrl-c.club/~stack/gemlog/2022-04-07.rat.gmi
I could feel the revulsion of the writer as I read through.
The first thought that entered my mind was, "Move out of the city to the country!"
Then I remembered the time when I visited a relative's farm in South Dakota. They had a small wooden building that they would fill with corn to feed to animals during the winter. The building was built on supports so it was about a foot off the ground. I remember looking underneath it one time and was shocked to find the place crawling with rats that were so packed together that I could not see any light from the other side of the building. They had built tunnels underground going to the building so they could get at the corn in the building.
Thankfully, this corn storage was not close to the house or vehicles because it would not be fun to deal with the smell and other mess that rats leave behind.
I hope you have success in your rat encounters.
