## Resource

Beachwood’s rat problem is escalating, with residents spotting them in yards and trash — some say it’s been going on, others just now noticing. The Ocean County Health Department warns of serious health risks, urging folks to report sightings and take action: lift garden beds, remove bird feeders, seal home gaps, and never leave pet food outside. Stories from locals like Eve Phelps and Michael Lopez paint a vivid picture of these critters — one as big as a Yorkie — making homes less inviting is key to turning the tide.
