NORWAY RAT
Other Names: Brown Rat, Gray Rat, Common Rat, House Rat, Wharf Rat, Water Rat, Barn Rat, Sewer Rat, Super Rat
These "super rats" Norway rats are a husky, brownish rodent that can reach 16 inches in length including their six-inch tail. Norway rats have a keen sense of sense of hearing, taste and smell. They spread diseases as they eat and contaminate food. They damage properties by gnawing and burrowing. A half-inch opening is all they require to gain access to your home. They can eat nearly any type of food but prefer meat and fresh grain.
