The only one Carrying flees are you. Please respect them.Without them there would be a higher amount of pests such as cockroaches

That is disgusting.

I wish we can kill all of them.

They carry fleas that can contain bacteria that if transmitted to you (via a bite), can kill you if not recognized in time by medical personal. Most of these rats are not indigenous to North America and don't have enough (predators in an urban area) to keep the populations in check. So, they are managed...

Some are bigger than cats!

Y don't people just leave them alone.

They're probably not going back under ground because their Animal Instinct KNOWS There's going to be another Flood soon. Animals are tuned in to earth's Environment. That's why they start to "Act Strange" when ever a major weather event is about to happen. It's been known for Centuries that Animals act strange before Hurricanes, Earth Quakes, Tornadoes, or yes even Major Floods. So, maybe it's not all good to kill the messenger. Especially when we've seen so much strange weather lately..

JMO...
