Black rats are awesome to have around...


if you are willing to live and let live. They are huge as adults and super harmless for humans. I pull a 4-5 foot black rat snake from my garage every other year it seems, and always just put them in the woods. If you have a run-in with a big black rat snake, then you and the snake were after the real problem. The best thing people can do with snakes is learn to identify the locals, understand what motivates them, and assess the threat to yourself and your family. If the family is okay, let snakes do what snakes do.
