Why are rats more common in autumn?

 

In late summer/early autumn temperatures are warm, and rodents have plenty of vegetation in which to hide from potential predators.

As the temperature begins to drop and food becomes scarce, rats will start to look for shelter and food in more urban locations, that’s when rats begin to head indoors for winter.

Typically nocturnal, the need to survive often means they will be spotted during daylight hours in these months, as they become bolder in their search for food and somewhere warm to hide from the cold.

 

Female rats can mate around 500 times in a six-hour period and brown rats can produce up to 2,000 offspring in a year
