Roof rats are black or brown and are about 40 cm long from nose to tail tip. They can squeeze through tiny holes that are a quarter the size of their bodies and they have no issue reaching any part of the house by squeezing through holes.
These rats also have strong teeth and jaws and can chew through almost any material your house is made of. Chewing through wood and siding, chewing through vent covers, squeezing through cracks and even getting in under shingles at the drip edge.
So it’s clear to see how they get in, they are basically master penetrators, capable of entering any house they choose.
Now the big question is, how do you stop them.
Roof rats are infected with the disease and so are their feces and urine. They can infect your family with all sorts of illnesses and parasites. Their urine smells terrible and may start dripping through the ceiling if left for too long. The urine and poop will also mix with your insulation, infecting it and requiring its removal.
