What does a rat look like?
The brown rat is a large mouse-like rodent that grows between 16–27 centimeters in length. Its fur is usually brown or grey-brown, and typical features include a blunt snout, small ears, and a tail shorter than its body. Although these rodents are usually considered pests, some species are also kept as pets or used for laboratory purposes.

Rats are known for being highly intelligent. Today, they are found all over the world, mainly due to their aggressiveness and rapid reproduction. A female can become pregnant up to six times a year, and it is not uncommon for each litter to contain five or more offspring.
While male rats have a more robust body structure, females are often up to one-third smaller.
How does a rat differ from a roof rat?
As for their typical diet, rats are omnivores, so their diet is quite varied. Although they usually feed on vegetables, seeds, and grains, they sometimes also eat meat or bird eggs. Since people often confuse rats with roof rats, it is useful to describe several key features that make it easy to distinguish between them:
- Rats are bulkier than roof rats
- Rats typically have lighter fur
- Rats have shorter, slightly furred ears
- Rats have smaller eyes than roof rats
- The rat’s head is more rounded, while the roof rat’s head is more pointed
- The rat’s tail is scaly and shorter than its body, while the roof rat’s is longer
How do rats live?
Rats prefer dark and sufficiently damp environments. That is why they usually hide in basements or ground-floor areas and often choose sheds, cottages, or even urban sewer systems as their habitat. Since they are most active after dark, you are most likely to spot them at night when they go out searching for food.

Although rats are known to swim and climb well, they usually build their nests on the ground. Unlike roof rats, they do not run along beams or roofs but instead dig burrows under floors. You can usually recognize their presence quickly by a typical rodent odor, as well as rat droppings or gnawed furniture.
Rats mainly live close to human dwellings and can become very aggressive if disturbed.
What damage can rats cause?
- They transmit infectious diseases and parasites
- They may attack your pets
- Their droppings, urine, and hair contaminate stored food
- They can cause significant damage to your property
- They gnaw on furniture, objects, and electrical cables
- They disturb people with noise
- They are responsible for unpleasant rodent odors
DIY rat extermination
Not sure how to get rid of rats? We definitely do not recommend attempting to eliminate these pests on your own. Rats are very intelligent, cautious, and resilient. Thanks to their adaptability, they can survive exposure to less effective poisons. In addition, they are stronger, more aggressive, and more predatory than roof rats, so you should not attempt to deal with them yourself.

People often believe they can eliminate rats using over-the-counter products and save money. They use various repellents, traps, live-capture cages, or commercially available poisons in the form of granules, powder, or paste. However, no truly effective product for rat extermination is available in regular stores. These substances are far less effective than the professional chemicals used by our DeraPro specialists.
DIY rat extermination is usually ineffective and can end up being very costly.
Eliminating rats with commonly available products is usually very slow or completely ineffective. When searching for food, these rodents follow the same paths, and if you place bait along these routes, they will often ignore it for a long time. Moreover, over-the-counter poisons must be placed in special bait stations to prevent accidental access by children or pets.
