Folks here put metal flashing around rat infested palm trees. They can go down the tree, but they can't go back up.

It seems that rats don't hang out in palms that are high in oxylate, such as Macarthur Palms, Ptychosperma macarthurii, and Fishtail Palms, Caryota mitis.

Coconut Palms seem to get infested the most.
