Rats & mice enter Florida homes and warehouses searching for food. They contaminate
10 times as much food as they eat, with urine ,feces & hair spreading diseases and bacterial food poisoning.
In Florida, Norway rats are common along canals and the coast. They also can be found
where garbage is not properly stored. They can survive on decayed food found in the trash.
Norway rats often dig under buildings, concrete slabs and in rubbish. When they burrow they can create problems for the foundations of buildings, sewer lines and destroy landscape. Norway rats live about 1 year but reach maturity at 3-5 months. They can have 8-12 young per litter and up to 7 litter in 1 year!
Roof rats thrive in roof spaces, attics, palm trees and shrubs. If they get into your attic they could possibly create a fire by chewing on electrical wires. Roof rats live up to 1 year and can have up to 6 litters in one year!
