High Threat Season: Year-round
Norway Rat
RATS
Norway rats burrow under foundations and enter through sewers. They're larger and more destructive than mice, capable of chewing through pipes and wiring.
SIGNS OF INFESTATION
- Large droppings (3/4 inch) along walls or near food
- Burrows along foundations or under debris
- Grease marks along baseboards from oily fur
- Gnawed pipes, wiring, or structural wood
FAST FACTS
Norway rats are excellent swimmers and can enter through toilets.
They can chew through lead pipes and concrete.
Rats are neophobic — cautious of new objects in their territory.
A rat's teeth never stop growing.
PREVENTION TIPS
- Cap sewer lines and repair damaged drain covers.
- Remove debris piles and overgrown vegetation near the home.
- Store garbage in sealed metal or heavy plastic containers.
- Seal foundation gaps larger than 1/2 inch.
