I have had rat problems twice. They like the taste of the foam on vehicle air conditioners, plus electrical and brake lines.
We have rats big time in the Florida Keys and because the Keys have 6 indigenous species on the endangered list, you can't use kill-baits or kill-traps.
The Keys are also a National Bird, National Salt Water Crocodile, and Key Deer Sanctuary, BUT I will always be a Happy Conch :]
The biggest is the Gambian rat

A Gambian giant rat, caught in the Florida Keys. In 2007, officials with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission began extensive efforts to remove the rats – which average about 3 pounds in size but can grow up to 3 feet long and weigh up to 9 pounds, making them the world's largest rat – from Grassy Key.
