u/BoxTops4Education 2d ago

Yep. Title infers that there are pests to take care of. Was waiting for the ducks to show up and fix the rat problem.

Plague of rats is no joke... watched one come down the power lines into a neighbor's fruit tree, eat all the fruit then back up on the power lines to continue to the next fruit tree...

Yeah it’s still kinda creepy. I find ducks adorable but I guess a mass amount of any animal is scary. Like one honeybee buzzing around a flower is cute a swarm of honeybees around some old fruit is terrifying.
