  reproduce up to 5 litters per year. They begin to
  be active reproductively at 12-13 weeks of age.
  Their lifespan mainly depends on where they are.
  The kind of pest control measures that you will
  employ may also determine, to some extent, how
  long these rodents may live.

• They create nests on top of roofs thus the name
  roof rat. Their nests are mostly made of twigs
  and grass. Apart from the rooftops, in some other
  places around the world like Britain, they can be
  found in rock and cliffs. In other places, they
  will be in dumps and around buildings where there
  are people.
• They are omnivores eating a variety of things but
  prefer fruits and seeds. They also feed on
  insects and some dead birds, garbage and feces.
  They, like the Norway rat, are good swimmers and
  climbers.

  like most of other rats close to perfect
  hearing, touch, and taste senses. Dont hesitate

  Plague during the middle ages because they carry

  enough think of the damage they do to your roof
  and the dirt they bring around your household.
