I need to identify roof rats and understand where to find vetted information on pesticide use for pest management. Can you tell me the distinguishing physical characteristics of roof rats and point me to the reliable resources about pesticide application available on this website?
Navigate to the 'Mice & Rats' page, found under 'Vertebrates'. Locate and extract the distinguishing physical characteristics of 'Roof rats'. Navigate to the 'Resources' page from the main navigation. Identify the specific link or section that provides vetted information on pesticide use.
State the distinguishing physical characteristics of roof rats, including their weight (5-9 ounces), size (13-18 inches), nose type (pointed), ear type (larger hairless), tail length (longer than body), and typical distribution (coastal areas). State that vetted information on pesticide use can be found under the 'Pesticide Database' link on the 'Resources' page.
