Calling vector control is the fastest way to get your dog poisoned- and probably your neighbor's too..  Please call a private service instead. 

I saw 2 rats very early this morning in the back part of my yard along the fence.

I wonder if the heat is making them come around searching for water...

I bet that's it -- I saw one when I took out the trash yesterday and it has been a month since I have seen anything. 

I saw another rat early this morning when I was getting my watering hoses out.

I set 2 traps baited with peanut butter in the back shady area where I saw the rat.

I hope this is not the start of a late summer rat invasion...
