Signs You May Have Norway Rats

Norway rats are nocturnal and skittish, which means homeowners and business owners often find evidence of them long before spotting an actual rat. Keep an eye out for these common warning signs:

• Droppings: Norway rat droppings are oval-shaped and often found near food sources or inside cabinets.
• Gnaw Marks and Chewed Wiring: Rats have strong teeth that never stop growing, so they’ll chew on virtually anything, from wooden beams to electrical cords.
• Burrows: Norway rats often dig outdoor burrows next to foundations, under decks, or beneath shrubbery. 
• Runways: Look for grease marks along walls and worn paths where they frequently travel.
• Scratching Noises at Night: Rattling in walls, rustling in attics, or scurrying sounds under floors are often the first clues of a rat infestation.
• Damaged Food Packaging: If you discover bite marks on plastic containers or torn-open bags of pet food, a hungry rat is likely to blame.

Are Norway Rats and Roof Rats the Same?

Not sure if you’re dealing with Norway rats or roof rats? They’re both common in the Southeast and similar in many ways. That said, there are some key differences between Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) and roof rats (Rattus rattus) that can help you tell them apart:

• Habitat and Nesting: Norway rats are burrowers with nests low to the ground — beneath buildings, in crawl spaces, or at ground level. Roof rats, as their name suggests, prefer elevated hiding spots like attics, rafters, and trees.
• Size and Appearance: Norway rats are stockier with shorter tails and blunt snouts; roof rats are slimmer with longer tails and pointier noses.
• Dietary Habits: Both will eat just about anything, but roof rats will enjoy the occasional healthy snack like fruit or nuts found on nearby trees. Norway rats are mostly happy to rummage dumpsters and trash bins, though they also enjoy sampling your garden produce.
