Two methods of investigation for the roof rat, Rattus rattus, in buildings were studied. Two types of rat signs, droppings and footprints on papers, at the entrances of ceilings were counted. The correlations of the number of rat droppings and the number of rat footprints on papers with the number of the captured rats were then investigated with regression analysis. As the results, the number of rat footprints on papers and the number of the rat droppings were found to correlate with the number of the captured rats. Therefore, the two methods are useful to estimate the number of the captured rats in a small area. It will, moreover, be possible that the number of rats in a restaurant is estimated by the densities of rat footprints if the number of the droppings from one rat per day is known.
