They build nests, eat wires, chew paper, material, plastic, water pipes, and cause damage above and below ground. They gnaw, burrow, and spread disease. Their burrowing activity undermines building foundations, cement slabs, roads, railroad track beds, irrigation canals and levees.
 
The two most common rats found within the USA are the roof rat and the Norway rat. The roof rat is found in coastal and southern regions of the country because they like temperate climates. They are small, sleek, and stay within 100 miles inland from coastal zones. They can be found along the entire west coast. They are found in most of the southeastern USA coast, most southern states, and especially coastal regions. Roof rats are found in most of Texas and all of Florida. The larger Norway rat is found within the rest of the USA covering all states inland from the west coast and over to the Mid West. Found inland within the east, central, north, and northeast regions of the country, they do not mind the cooler climates. The roof rat is otherwise known as the black rat and the ship rat. The Norway rat is also known as the sewer rat, brown rat, house rat, wharf rat, water rat, and gray rat.
