What are rats?
Rats have a pointed nose, large ears and a slender body. They are very smart, cautious, and afraid of new things. They can travel along walls and pipes. They can contaminate food and cause damage to structures.
They are capable of transmitting a variety of bacteria, viruses and diseases through their saliva, feces and urine. They are medium-sized, long-tailed rodents in the order Rodentia, with the stereotypical rat found in the genus Rattus. Other species include Neotoma, Bandicota and Dipodomys. Their size distinguishes them from other rodents.
Where are rats found?
They are usually found outdoors and prefer to live in secluded areas. If there are food sources, they will burrow and nest close to or inside structures. They can squeeze through a hole the size of a quarter to enter a property.
