In the north, it may be just another day, but here in Brevard County it’s cold. Winter is winter, and in Florida, rats hate it just as much as people. That’s why every winter, there is an uptick of rats in home attics, nooks and crannies, as they seek to stay indoors more frequently than when the weather is warm.
