In our previous episode of the Living The Wildlife Podcast, host and wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel gave us a brief overview of Rattus Rattus biology. On today’s edition Stephen gives us a brief overview of roof rat control methods for wildlife control professionals. This rodent is generally referred to as the black rat or the roof rat, ship rat, or house rat. It is a common long-tailed rodent of the stereotypical rat genus Rattus, in the subfamily Murinae which is likely originated in the Indian subcontinent, but now found worldwide. It is widely known as the roof rat due to its tendency to find shelter in the upper parts of buildings. Watch this video as a refresher as Stephen discusses these rodents and their habits, habitat and biology. Of particular note, Stephen discusses Scott E. Hygnstrom’s ‘Organizational Model Of Control Methods’ which covers habitat modification, frightening devices, repellents, toxicants, shooting, trapping, exclusion and biological controls. Watch this video.
