Don't the local snakes usually take care of these? The most common include the Florida water rat, wood rat, and cotton rat. The Florida water rat, also called the round-tailed muskrat, is a semi-aquatic rodent with a round tail. Wood rats, also known as pack rats, have a hamster-like appearance with soft fur and a furry tail. Cotton rats are wild rodents with a chunky build and coarse fur, often found in rural or suburban areas.
