The Norway rat is an aggressive rodent with strong senses of hearing, smell, taste, and touch. They have incredible capabilities of gnawing through just about anything for food and water sources. Norway rats prefer to live in low lying areas such as crawlspaces and sewers where they can thrive regardless of unsanitary conditions. While they prefer dark and quiet spaces, these rambunctious rodents can be quite noisy when scavenging for resources, mating, and during territorial disputes.
​Norway rats don’t need much room when attempting to infiltrate your home. About half an inch is all these rodents need to occupy your residence. Gaps in crawlspace entrances, torn vent screens, and holes around exterior piping are all examples of key entry points for the Norway rat.
