Common Atlanta Rat Species

The most common of these rodents in Atlanta are the Norway rat and the roof rat. Both species do well in urban environments. The Norway rat is an invasive species from Europe. They are now found throughout the United States. Norway rats tend to prefer low-lying areas like basements and crawl spaces. They can create large tunnel systems that can destabilize a home’s foundation. The roof rat, also called the black rat, is another invasive species. Roof rats, like their name implies, prefer to climb trees and will enter through soffits, vents and chimneys to burrow into siding and attics. These are more commonly found in coastal areas but can be found in Atlanta.
