As of late September 2026, my rat-proofing routine in Port St. Lucie has always been a ground-level job: a new sweep under the garage door, a look along the slab for gaps, a screen over the low vents.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (CBS12) — You can run, but according to Port St. Lucie police, you cannot hide — especially under a hotel bed. Police said officers went to a hotel on Village Parkway on Tuesday after receiving information that 41-year-old Kenneth Robert Ferow II, who was wanted on a Martin County simple battery wa
