Oh, I haven't seen the citrus rats, yet. Yet. We've had an actual packrat and what looked like a swamp rat on our cameras.

we call them citrus rats cause in the old days it was all citrus orchards around us. those are gone now, but the rats ain't. everyone else calls them roof rats or black rats. tree rat works too as thats where ya see them roofs and trees, powerlines, tops of fences, etc. up high...

Yes I noticed that, they come in about 230-4am and sniff around licking plates, Supper here is at dark for the critters, they need to get out of bed earlier.

I read decades ago about how palm trees in California had a rat infestation* problem. No worries however, they all eventually got elected to office.

*This part is true. The rest is suspected.

Our possums seem to have a longer work night compared to the raccoons. Later start, usually.

I used to add the "o", but the majority just call 'em possums. Interesting critters.
