Oh rats.

[SaraJean]

Literally, rats... I found some rat poo in and on about a half dozen of my orchids. First, do they eat orchids. Second, do I need to worry about disease (plant kind, not human kind). I know orchids get defecated on in the wild but there is just something disgusting about finding rodent poo. I think there is a family of them living in a cluster of palms in my courtyard so those need to get cleared out ASAP. Unfortunately, I live right on the banks of the Mississippi River so I doubt that I will be able to eradicate the rodent issue completely.


Edit: I should make it clear that these droppings are on my orchids outside. No, I do not have rats running around my living room. That would be gross
