Rats will ... drag their tails, leaving a mark between their feet tracks. Unscented baby powder or flour, lightly sprinkled can help you determine tracks and their runways as they cross suspected areas.

Roof rats usually begin searching for food shortly after sunset. If the food is in an exposed area and too large to be eaten quickly, yet not too large to be moved, they will usually carry it to a hiding place before eating it. Many rats will cache or hoard considerable amounts of solid food, which they may or may not eat later. When necessary, roof rats will travel considerable distances for food. They can often be seen at night running along overhead utility lines. They may live in trees or attics and climb down to a food source. This is important from the standpoint of control, for traditional baiting or trapping on the ground or floor may intercept very few roof rats.

After millions of years of living in the dark, the naked mole-rat’s eyes have shrunk to the point that they can hardly see. They often run through tunnels with their tiny eyes closed. In fact, the eyes may be more useful as sensors of moving air currents. For example, when a predator breaks through a sealed burrow entrance, a blast of fresh air is sent down the tunnel, alerting mole-rats to the predator’s presence. Naked mole-rats are ... very sensitive to vibrations in the ground that may warn of nearby danger. Whiskers on their faces and tails brush along tunnel walls, guiding them in much the same way that a person may use her hands to feel along the wall of a darkened room.
