Types of rats in Vancouver
There are several types of rats that are prevalent in the Greater Vancouver area. They include the invasive Norway rat also known as street rat, common rat, , Hanover rat and sewer rat, the “pizza rat”, the roof rat and the house mouse.
The roof rat is notorious for invading rooftops and causing disturbances in the house as well as in commercial properties. They can cause a lot of damage.

Rats thrive in community gardens, kitchens, granaries, heaps of food scraps, and compost sites. They have very strong sense, almost human-like, and hence it is very difficult to catch them as they will have heard or spotted you as you lay a trap to catch them.
