Adult rats are about 21cm long with relatively hairless tails that add another 18cm to the animal's length.ĭiscourage rats by removing any accessible food sources, for example by making sure bins are sealed. When feeding wildlife such as birds, do not let access food build up (this will also help reduce the risk of spreading wildlife diseases). Rat droppings may be visible where feeding has occurred. The pellets are cylindrical in shape with rounded ends and are about 15mm long and 5mm wide when fresh, again about twice the size of mice or vole droppings. Rat tunnels in the soil have an entrance diameter of 30-40mm, about twice that created by mice or voles. Parallel grooves, where a rat's incisor teeth have bitten into the food material, are usually visible. Rats will also prey upon invertebrates including snails, a pile of snail shells is often a sign that rats have been present. Seeds can also be consumed. They can become regular visitors to bird feeding stations. Harvested fruits, such as apples, can be similarly damaged. This feeding can occur while the crops are growing and when they are being stored.
In gardens they will feed on sweet corn cobs, pumpkins and squash and various root vegetables, such as carrot, parsnip, beetroot and potato tubers.
