What Are Roof Rats?

Roof rats — also known as black rats or ship rats — are agile climbers that nest in:

- Attics

- Palm trees

- Block walls

- Garages

- Sheds

- Rooflines and eaves

They can enter homes through openings as small as ½ inch, leading to:

- Chewed electrical wiring

- Damaged insulation

- Contaminated food and surfaces

- Noisy attic activity

- Strong odors from urine and droppings

Early detection and rodent removal are critical.

Signs of Roof Rats in Your Home

- Droppings near appliances or in garages

- Chewed wires, boxes, or stored items

- Grease marks along walls or rafters

If you see one rat, there are usually many more.
