[QUOTE="KDM, post: 207793, member: 314"] Without a taxonomic analysis, meaning the thing in my hand, the best guess I can give you from your pic is a Norway Rat. If you need positive ID, take the carcass to any mammalogy dept at a university and they will be able to give you a positive ID on the thing. Assuming it's a Norway Rat, there's really nothing you can do to remove these things from your property short of making it a parking lot. As a Navy Medical Officer, I fought with these things for 14 years on 3 continents and in environments ranging from desert to rain forest jungles and the best you can hope for is a dull roar. They are there to stay. Plug the entrances into the house as best you can, cut the grass and undergrowth around the house, put poisons outside the house if possible as putting it inside only invites them into the house, place lots of traps around making sure they are positioned perpendicular to and right next to the walls, and check on the place often. 'Bout the best advice I can give you. I live in my house and CONSTANTLY monitor the place and have traps and poison out all the time. I still get the odd one here or there. My neighbors have livestock and they have hundreds of rats on their place. I get the overflow. Again, good luck!! [/QUOTE]
