About Roof Rats
Roof rats head and body is about 7-8 inches with a tail
that is scaly and longer than the head and body. Roof rats have
large ears and a pointed snout. They can spread diseases to humans
such as; murine typhus, lepto, salmonellosis and rat bite fever.
Roof rats are constantly gnawing on wood and wire because their
teeth are continually growing. 25% of unknown house fires are
attributed to rodents chewing on wires.
