This is a juvenile rattus rattus I caught the other day.
This is a roof rat, tree rat, fruit rat or "palmetto squirrel" for the
chamber of commerce folks. They get about 50% bigger full grown.
Our readers should note the identifying long tail. The mesh is 1/2"
hardware screen and these guys can eat a hole through it (I have a
patch in this trap). Peanut butter with dog food in it did the trick
on this one. He now sleeps with the fishes. "Cute" didn't save his
ass.

We have mice. I haven't been able to get rid of them.
Here is a picture of why.
