Recognisable for its dark brown or greyish coat, this species is commonly found in underground sewer systems and basements. They are excellent diggers, often nesting in burrows near food sources or water. Their versatility allows them to invade homes and commercial kitchens — especially where there is an abundant food supply.

They have no problem getting anywhere once inside the premises, making them difficult to keep out.

They require a rodent control company with years of knowledge and experience — their management cannot be tackled by the same method as Norway rats.

They are nocturnal, highly agile and can squeeze through gaps as small as 6mm.
