The board is concerned about the rat problem in our community, and is working on the biggest issue first: rats within the buildings.
To this end, we are coordinating pest control within impacted units, and are making repairs to keep rats out of all the units.
If you think you have rats, or if you see a place where a rat could get into your home, crawlspace, attic, or garage please let us know immediately.
Homeowners are also asked to trim their patio trees away from the building to prevent rats from jumping from trees to roofs.
We also ask that all residents take necessary measures to keep away potential source of food for rats. Residents are expected to make sure that trash cans are well sealed and rodent-proof, and ensure sure that other food sources such as bird seed, rotten fruits from trees (lemon, orange, apples, etc.) inside patios as well as dog droppings are not left out.
Rats can travel up to 300 feet from their shelter to search for food, hence it is very important that all homeowners take necessary measures. Without shelter or food the rats should move on and not come back.
If rats continue to be a problem then we will determine what measures need to be taken next.
