Roof Rats Roof Rats (also known as "black rats") are old world (Europe and Asia) urban dwelling rats that range along the lower half of the East Coast and throughout the Gulf States and upward into Arkansas. They also exist along the Pacific Coast and are found on the Hawaiian Islands. The Sun Belt States including Arizona and Nevada have also been infested. They daily explore their territory of 100 to 300 feet. Roof rats will not
only nest in trees (especially palms), ivy, and ground cover, but also in upper
portions of buildings. Their food source consists of snails, seeds, fruits,
vegetables, nuts, pet food and items
Being agile climbers, Roof rats frequently enter buildings from the roof or
accesses near utility lines which they use to travel from area to area. They
have been found in sewer systems, but this is not very common. Roof Rat Smudge On Rafters
The damage control methods used for roof rats are essentially the same as for Norway rats. However, a few differences must be taken into account. Exclusion or Rodent-proofingHarborage is as important for survival as food and water, and suburbia supplies it in great diversity. Attics, crawlspaces, sheds, greenhouses, birdhouses, woodpiles, compost bins and covered or overturned boats all provide dry, secure nesting sites. They make nests among vines on trellises, fences and on walls. When rodent-proofing against roof rats, pay close attenti Order Online and Save! Right now a 20' roll of Stuf-fit is on sale for only $10.95! Sanitation The elimination of food and water through good sanitation can do much to reduce rodent infestation. Store pet food in sealed containers and do not leave it out at night. Use proper garbage and refuse disposal containers and implement exterior sanitation programs. Emphasis should be placed on the removal of as much harborage as is practical. Dense shrubbery, vine-covered trees and fences, and vine ground cover make ideal harborage for roof rats. Severe pruning and/or removal of certain ornamentals are often required to obtain a degree of lasting rat control. Remove preharvest fruits or nuts that drop in backyards. Strip and destroy all unwanted fruit when the harvest period is over. Citrus trees, having very low hanging skirts, are more prone to damage because they provide rats with protection. Prune to raise the skirts and remove any nests constructed in the trees. A vegetation-free margin around the grove will slow rat invasions because rats are more susceptible to predation when crossing unfamiliar open areas.
Traps- Trapping can be an effective method of controlling rats, but it requires more skill and labor than most other methods. Trapping is recommended where toxicants are inappropriate. It is best to try trapping first in homes, garages, and other small structures where there may be only a few rats present. Trapping has several advantages: 1) it does not rely on inherently rodenticides; 2) it permits the user to view his or her success; and 3) it allows for disposal of trapped rats, thereby eliminating odor problems which may occur when poisoning is done within buildings.

from unsealed garbage containers. Water is
also essential. The roof rat is distinguished by its larger ears, pointed nose,
tail longer than the body and an average body weight of 6-12 ounces. Landscaped
residential or industrial areas provide good habitat, as does vegetation of
riverbanks and streams. They will often move into sugarcane and citrus groves.
Many people believe that their oranges are being eaten by fruit bats, when in
fact, fruit bats don't eat citrus. 
Adult
droppings are up to 1/2 in (12.5 mm) long, and are spindle shaped with
pointed ends.
Patented, interlocking teeth make rat escapes virtually impossible. The trap is
a perfect combination of trigger sensitivity and trap velocity -- speed and
responsiveness ensure capture. Extensive field and laboratory testing fine-tuned
