Rat Identification

In Tennessee, two predominant rat species are the Brown rat and the roof rat. While these rodents exhibit several resemblances, they also have different features. The roof rat can be recognized by its blackish fur and a tail that typically exceeds its body length, where the brown rat has an extra brownish fur tone and a significantly shorter tail. Both rats are omnivorous in their diet but show a preference for grains and cereals.

Rats Problems and Damage

Similar to mice, rats find sustenance in lawns and gardens. They then seek housing and security in homes and other structures. These pests can infiltrate homes by constantly gnawing and chewing through wooden and plastic surfaces. Additionally, they can gain access to the house through gaps, vents, in the roof line, or any sizable opening they can force their way into. Upon entering, their urine and feces quickly contaminate the surroundings.

Rats are keen gnawers, causing a significant hazard to electrical wires and potentially causing fires in homes. Furthermore, they are transporters of several diseases like Salmonella, Lymphocytic choriomeningitis, leptospirosis, and. Though not all rats carry diseases, any scratches or bites should be promptly treated by a medical expert. Hence rat removal is essential for protecting human health, preserving property, preventing food contamination, and maintaining environmental stability.
