Rats?!
New to Vegas and the Henderson area. Last night was sitting outside and saw two rats running in the backyard. Is this “normal” here or should I be concerned? We’re renting a home so I’m not familiar with terrain etc. From my online search I’m pretty certain the lemon, and pomegranate trees are probably attracting them? Along with the dense bushes we have along the fence. We do live on a hill that backs up to a street close by so not much dense shrubs but I guess enough? I’m now afraid to have my kids in the backyard bc well rats are gross and dirty 😅
Edit - my point in posting this was to see if I’m overreacting calling our pest control out or if this is maybe a normal “occurrence” you may see once in awhile in the desert and just let it be if I know there’s no trash, openings etc. I’m from the east coast cold climate so I’ve never seen a rat but I’ve seen mice etc. But I also worry about the diseases they carry for my dog and kids who play out there. For reference we are near the district in Henderson.
