Rats

Rats can cause great damage to buildings and furnishings, as they can gnaw through almost all materials with their sharp teeth. They can even destroy electrical installations. However, the biggest problem with rats is the risk of infection. Since they are often found in sewer systems, rats are pure germ bombs, and people can become infected with dangerous diseases just by touching something that a rat has been in contact with. Due to the risk of infection and their destructive behavior, it is always a good idea to keep the rat population down. Rat control in your area is therefore a good idea if the population is growing or if they come too close to homes.

General control of rats
It is more or less impossible to eradicate rats, as they adapt easily and reproduce rapidly. In addition, they are resistant to many things and can live almost anywhere.
However, rats can cause so much damage to society that rat control is also taken seriously by the authorities. Rats can, for example, cause major damage to the road network due to their walking systems. They can also destroy valuables with their behavior.
The brown rat eats both plant and animal food. Grains and seeds make up a significant part of its diet, but the brown rat also eats insects, snails, fish, frogs, birds, bird eggs and carrion.
When the rat is looking for food and comes across an unknown food item, it will taste it carefully. If the food item affects the rat negatively, e.g. by making it sick, it remembers the episode and will not try to eat that type of food in the future. This behavior makes it difficult to control rats with poison. However, it is possible to control rats in homes in other ways. For example, with rat traps or rat scares.

TIP: Always remember to disinfect after an attack by rats and mice.
