Information on Pack Rats and Roof Rats
Adult roof rats usually live about one year.
They also consume seeds, nuts, berries, and insects.
The first and most crucial thing is to inspect the house and find all possible entry holes, and before starting any trapping, carry out repairs and seal the attic so the rats can't get in again.
Certain first-generation anticoagulants are registered as tracking powders for roof rat control; however, none of the second generation materials are so registered.
The muzzle of the roof rat is pointed and the overall appearance of the roof rat is much more streamlined and sleek looking than a Norway rat.
You can often find smudges as an indication of rats, but they can often stay on walls for a long time, so it might be from an old infestation.
Some of the first-generation anticoagulants (pindone and warfarin) are available as soluble rodenticides from which water baits can be prepared.
Check the traps periodically, remove any dead trapped rats, and reset the traps.

Breeding seasons vary in different areas.
