Can’t Stand It: Blame The Rat Problem on Home Builders?

Give me a break: some Preston Hollow homeowners are blaming the rampant Dallas rat problem on tearing down old homes. Do these people need their heads examined? Of course we have rats in Dallas — way more than in Chicago where the nasty critters freeze. Every home has them, new and old. (Wait ’til they show up at the Ritz!) The new homes at least have tighter seals to keep them out — my 7 year old home lost its virginity to rats a couple of years ago thanks to the squirrels.  (Like any mom, I was so upset.) I called Critter Catchers and we found the varmin after he stunk up my attic. That was a Lysol day. We live on earth — and earth is loaded with critters, sometimes much to my dismay.
