One of my Co-orkers moved from NYC to "upstate" (meaning North of
Yonkers ;). He saw the rats we had, and told his friends back in the
old 'hood that their rats were puny. ...except that they were
opossums, in Duchess County. ;-)

AFAIK, mice will eat ANY wax. You can tell mouse attacks from rat attacks by the size of the tooth marks.

I once had bar soap in the shop and mice or rats ate that, also. They ate all my garden/gardening seeds, as well.
They haven't, yet, managed to open the frig and drink the beer, though.

Why I encourage the possums.

The coons around here will do that without breaking a sweat. ;)

One upon a time a Vietnamese Ranger unit I was assigned to captured an
underground, unit sized, North Vietnamese bunker complex in Cambodia. It
was during the rainy season in SE Asia, and, in and attempt to stay dry,
we decided to quarter in the bunker for a few days while we regrouped
from the battle.
Only problem was the underground rats, almost as big as some of the
"pet" dogs (who followed along side of us a convenient food supply).
First night I sat, awake in my sleeping bag, with a Montagnard crossbow,
to kill them before they got to me.
One night of those rats and I decided to sleep above ground, and deal
with the cobras instead ...

My brother in law keeps bees, and I'm pretty sure he's told
me that mice will eat the comb if they can get into a hive.

Guess I'm lucky. The only thing rats have eaten in my shop
is the extra packages of rat poison I had stored there.
Saved me the effort of putting them out where I thought the
rats were.

That's the thing. There is not a trace of those bars of bees wax. I'm going to build one of these.

Norwegian wharf rats, a.k.a. brown rats.
I've seen bigger in NJ and NY. Found a super fat 2+ footer under a
trash box while cleaning out underneath. Never knew they could get so
big and fat. No one else did either. It kept three audlts and two dogs
at bay with barred teeth and snarls, then hauled ass towards the local
park. Two people walking up the street made an abrupt backup.
So I guess the rat I saw was a ??d in 4k 3D?

that is a bigun
some exterminators will not deal with them they will not do it
the reference to 2d for mice was that they typically do not climb
they stay on floors and follow a wall etc
rats will readily climb so they are 3d
wharf rats also climb but nothing seems to stop them
they will chew through concrete so they go where ever they want
if you have those you need a real hunter cat or a smart dog that
has it in their breed
most urban pets would probably be killed and eaten by a wharf rat
if they did not run
