I put out bait at my warehouse some years back and
the ants ate the rodent bait and the rodents ate the
ant bait. All critters except for me were happy. I
heard scampering on the suspended ceiling and when
I got on a ladder, I pushed up a ceiling tile and was
confronted by an urban rat wearing a dew rag, gold
chains and wielding a switchblade. Squeak y'all!
Was the sound it made before scampering off to be wit
it's rat hos. Those urban vermin are tough and sneaky.
