Getting Rid of Pack Rats
Eight different species of pack rats live throughout North America, though their common name is officially woodrats. While they are similar in appearance and size to Norway rats, pack rats have hairy tails as opposed to scaly, soft and fine fur coats as opposed to coarse, and large ears. Woodrats don't often enter homes, as they don't provide the things needed for them to survive, but you may find them in your Cabin or RV.
Common Pack Rat Problems 
- Farmers may experience Pack Rats ripping bark off of trees.
