Brown rat, common rat, Norway rat, Norwegian rat or wharf rat (Rattus norvegicus)
|
 |
|
The fur is coarse and usually brown or dark grey, the underparts are lighter
grey or brown. The length can be up to 25 cm (10 in.), with the tail a further
25 cm (the same as the body length). Adult body weight averages 350 g in males
and about 250 g in females, but a very large individual can reach 500 g. Rats
weighing over a kilogram are exceptional, and stories of rats as big as cats
are exaggerations. |

Treatment |
| As with all rodents it usually takes several visits for the treatment to
be completed. Our technicions will access the situation to decide where
to set the bait points. The bait used
will not kill the rat instantly. They will normally feel unwell and return to their burrows
where they die. |
