Gnats and rats (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pests

'gnats and rats' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pests that I've seen before include "Persistently annoying persons" , "Steps (anag.)" , "Steps taken about nuisances" , "Take steps to troublesome animal." .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the Universal.
