They are so ridiculously fast . Like lightning. Just ridiculous speed between spaces. By the time your brain thinks it saw something and you start moving your head to look, it's gone . And when you move closer it looks like it evaporated into nothing. You look for a gap or a space and there's just this impossibly tiny space and it doesn't make sense and you start to convince yourself that it was all just your mind playing tricks on you...

You've really thought about this a lot.

Yeah I had wood rats and they would run from the yard to this storage area. And it was right where I would watch one of my tvs. And I used to think I was going crazy. I never got a straight shot of them just a shadow. And then I baited it and they died and I felt kind of dirty.

You just turned my simple question into an unnecessarily long paragraph.

Canada Province Rat-Free for 50 Years
Looks like they go to extreme lengths to make sure it stays that way
quote:
The animals first arrived in North America in the late 18th century onboard sailing ships that frequented East Coast seaports. Once ashore, the rats marched relentlessly westward across the continent, reaching the borders of Alberta around the time of World War II.
It was then that Alberta authorities decided to declare a war of their own.
To stop the encroaching rodent population, provincial authorities established a 600- by 70-kilometer (380- by 18-mile) rat control zone along the province's vulnerable eastern border. Still of key importance, the zone remains staffed by eight dedicated professionals.
"In that buffer zone it's best described as a search and destroy mission," said John B. Bourne, a man with the official job title of "Vertebrate Pest Specialist" with Alberta Agriculture's rat control program. "It's all agricultural farmland, and in this harsher climate the rats need to live as close to humans as they possibly can. Structures and food sources are what they seek out to survive."

Why aren't there any rats in Alberta?
Alberta fancies itself as being a rat-free zone.
quote:
Since 1950, Alberta has had a program to keep rats out of the province.
Rats were first reported on the eastern border of Alberta in 1950, and would have continued to spread westward had it not been for a rat control program that halted their advance and continues to maintain an essentially rat-free province to date.
The rat control program was basically a government run program that sought to protect crops and livestock from "pests." Rats were declared pests and the government instituted programs to have them eradicated. Pest control inspectors were assigned to every municipality and citizens were required to take pest control measures.
quote:
These pest control inspectors performed key tasks:
-checked every premise within the first three ranges (29 km) west of the border (Figure 2)
-distributed bait and established bait stations
-encouraged rat-proofing of buildings and the removal of rat harborage and food
-destroyed any rat infestations that were found
It's a province-wide effort that they take seriously. The owning of pet rats is unlawful, and suspected infestations are reported and inspected.

While I can appreciate the rat and it's super powers, if I see one in my space, he gets the death penalty, if I can get to him of course...

Florida needs to get onto something like that with those Burmese pythons.
