Common Rat Types

Norway Rat

The largest of the rat species found in Southern California is the Norway rat. These rodents are often detected underneath homes, in sub-areas, walls, trash areas and burrows. Norway rats prefer meat, fish, and other animal protein-rich foods, as well as cereals. The Norway rats most easily distinguished feature is his tail, which is generally shorter than the length of his body.

Roof Rat

The roof rat is more frequently seen than the Norway rat. His smaller body, speed and agility make him a better candidate for trees, roofs, and attics, although in competitive areas he may also be found in trash bins, under homes, in garages and even burrows. The roof rat prefers nuts, berries, grains, and other types of non-meat foods, although he also will be observed eating just about anything if circumstances require it.

What Can I Do to Get Rid of Rats?

The best method of getting rid of rats is to use traps to capture the rodents so they can be removed from inside your home. Using poisoned bait to kill the rats where they are living is a bad idea, mostly because that allows the rats to eat the poison then crawl back to their nests built in your walls, ceiling, or attic to die. A dead rodent inside your house can cause foul odors and may spread disease. Also, finding a dead rat buried inside the walls of your home to remove it can be a difficult, expensive, and time-consuming process.
