What do Rats look like?
Rats are robust rodents known for their sharp incisors that continuously grow throughout their lives. Among their kind, the most common species are the Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) and Roof rats (Rattus rattus). These creatures are highly adaptable and can thrive in various environments, from fields to urban areas. Their diet is omnivorous, eating almost anything available, but they have a particular preference for grains, meats, and seeds. Rats are also known for their intelligence, often evading many common control measures.
