All! Rats!

Finding where they are coming from I think would be impossible. When it snows I look for there path and notice they walk along the front of the houses against the wall. For some reason some of them hang out on the top of my engine, and I noticed some nibbling on the wires. I live in a subdivision, the houses are about 15-20 ft apart, the rats trail in kind of a straight line from house to house. It is going to snow tonight, but after it clears I am going for a full assault on them, with traps and Tomcat! I also have trail cams, maybe I will use the to check them out. I have been living here for over 25yrs and never ever had such issues with them. This is not an area you usually see allot of them.
