Pest Identification: Roof Rat
 Black or brown, 7 to 10 inches long, with a long tail and large ears and eyes. They have a pointed nose, and the body is smaller and sleeker than a Norway rat. Unlike the Norway Rat the fur is smooth.
Nests inside and under buildings, or in piles of rubbish or wood. An excellent climber and can often be found in the upper parts of structures. Roof Rats like to eat grains, fruits, nuts and vegetables. Very agile and can squeeze through openings only 1/2 inch wide. Like other rodents they carry many serious diseases.
