Rats
Rats seek more comfortable
homes during the early fall.
Cleaning up trash piles, stone
piles and junk helps in controlling
them. Also ratproofing buildings
helps prevent rats from getting
into food or feed, reminds Stanley
G. Gesell, Extension en
tomologist at The Pennsylvania
State University. See your county
Extension agent for further in
formation on rat control.
