    One of the most common problems people face is differentiating between a possum and a rat. Although both are a lot different from each other. A rat is smaller than a possum in size. Possums have a pointed face with a thick nose. They have grey fur all over their body but they have a hairless tail. Both possums and rats can cause much damage to your home. They usually damage the furniture and the wiring of your house. Possums and rats do not carry any diseases but they do carry disease-causing bacteria and germs that can result in causing a lot of diseases related to respiration and digestion too. Possums do not bite whereas rats bite people whenever they experience danger. Possums can actually scratch you and play dead when they sense any danger around themselves. To know more in detail about whether it is a rat or possum in your home, read the blog until the end.

    How To Differentiate Between A Rat And A Possum?

    There are various factors that differentiate a rat from a possum. To know in detail about the factors, read the blog.

    Sounds- This is one of the main factors which helps in differentiating a rat from a possum. Both rats and possums have different sounds. When the rats are present on your house roofs, they produce scuttering sounds as they have very small feet whereas the possums make more heavy noise when they run in the roof cavity. In case you hear loud thumping sounds from your roof that is a confirmed indication of the presence of possums in your house. They can also be distinguished by the sounds they normally make to communicate. The sounds used by possums are screechy and high-pitched.
    Damage Caused- Damage caused by the possums is very different from the damage caused by the rats. Rats have small claws so the damage caused by them is very low compared to the damage caused by possums. Possums have large claws which is the reason why the damage caused is much higher than the rats. In case you find any large scratches on the roofs that can be an indication of the presence of possums. Rats usually make smaller scratches than possums. Another thing you might find is chewed-up wires on your roof and other places which means there are possums in your house.
    Droppings- The droppings of possums are also different from the rats. Possums have relatively larger droppings than the droppings of rats. You can check your roof in case you find larger droppings that mean there are possums present in your house. You can check our blog How To Make A Possum Box At Home.
