About pack rats in San Jose

Properties near the foothills see wood rats, also called pack rats. They build large stick-and-debris nests, collect shiny objects, and chew through vehicle and equipment wiring.

You will usually find them in sheds, garages, crawl spaces, woodpiles, and parked vehicles.
