A taxonomic binomial that does not sound fabulous:
That would be the term "Rattus norvegicanus".
The species belongs to the order Rodentia.
They can be found anywhere except Antarctica.
Rats seem to proliferate quite freely.
What annoying pests these creatures can be!
However, there's a way to rid them, fortunately.
Just take a trap and bait it with cheese.
That's a tried and true method to exterminate them with ease.
