Information About Norway Rat
Locale On Property
In homes, rats will take refuge under furniture, behind walls, or in dark, seldom-used corners of the house.
They’re also famous for making nests inside of and under appliances. They are also found in attics which provide great nesting opportunities.
Description
Norway rats are brown and have a gray to yellow-white underside. They have broad bodies, a blunt muzzle and small eyes and ears. Their tails are shorter than their heads and bodies.
Concerns
They spread disease, such as rabies, rat bite fever, hantavirus and food poisoning. They contaminate food and living areas with their urine, droppings and hair.
Some other diseases that can be spread from rats to people are bubonic and pneumonic plague, murine typhus, salmonella, leptospirosis, and tularaemia. Rat feces and urine can dry and turn to dust, spreading viruses through the air we breathe.
