I need to learn about roof rats and where to find reliable information on pesticide use for pest management. Can you describe the key physical characteristics of roof rats and tell me which section of this website provides vetted resources on pesticide application?
Navigate to the 'Vertebrates' section from the main menu. Click on the 'Mice & Rats' link. Locate and extract the distinguishing physical characteristics of 'Roof rats' from the 'Identification' section. Navigate back to the main navigation and click on the 'Resources' link. Identify the specific link or section on the 'Resources' page 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.
