Norway and roof rats don’t get along. The Norway rat is larger and the more dominant species; it will kill a roof rat in a fight. When the two species occupy the same building, Norway rats may dominate the basement and ground floors, with roof rats occupying the attic or second and third floors. Contrary to some conceptions, the two species can’t interbreed. Both species can share some of the same food resources but don’t feed side by side. Rats can grab food and carry it off to feed elsewhere.
Porch lights and door lights attract mosquitoes, and they can speedy get into the residence whilst the door opens. Avoid attracting them through preserving the lighting fixtures off or dim, or by way of changing white lights with yellow ones.
