Admit It, Squirrels Are Just Tree Rats
The leave pretty big divots in the yard, but as long as they stay out of the attic, I don't mind much. A squirrel's tail does look like a rat's if it has the sun behind it.

But if they do get in the attic it's a nightmare. I would take 100 mice over one squirrel.

If you made me choose between having a raccoon or a bear in my attic, I might choose the bear.

There was the time that a raccoon tried to dig into the attic to get at a nest of baby squirrels over by the soffit. He never quite succeeded.

I'm not sure if you are saying rats leave divots? The squirrels around here live in the ground and make huge holes. I don't really see many rats.

The squirrels leave divots. The rats, if they are around, will have burrows.
