Norway Rat

Norway Rats are also known as house rats, wharf rats, barn rats, sewer rats, brown rats or gray rats. Minimize food, water, shelter. Ratproof structures. Use Snap traps. Live traps would work. Glue boards can catch the young. Indoors use a legal rodent bait. Rat Killings rate high as social events but will not provide long term control without additional steps.
