Rat Damage
Whether they are finding ways through the roof or the foundation, the damage done to the home could be costly to repair and potentially lead to more severe and expensive remedies if left untreated. Chewed live wires in the ceiling and walls leading to electrical fires, or even water damage due to rat entry points left open to the elements. Tunneling through the home’s insulation, dropping feces and urine simultaneously compromises the insulation’s effectiveness while increasing the spread of viral bacteria compromising air quality within the home.
Health Hazards
There are a variety of bacterial and viral infections that can be transmitted from rats to humans. Most of the illnesses spread through the contamination of food and drink that has come in contact with rat feces or urine. Leptospirosis, streptobacillus, and hantavirus tend to be the most prevalent, all of which lead to fever and flu-like symptoms. Hantavirus can even lead to respiratory issues and in extreme cases, death.
