Why do you need Rat Control Harrison?
Wild Rats can be nasty. Don’t let their cute and cozy appearance fool you. Large Brown hats have the ability to damage stored products while Black Rats infest your roof space and cause damage and electrical fires. Here are a few reasons as to why Rat Control is so important here in Harrison:
- Rats carry nasty diseases as well as pathogens that are potentially deadly. Black Rats (Rattus rattus) are partially responsible for the black plague in the 1300’s. This resulted in the deaths of over 200 million people in Europe alone. Although rare, there are still reported cases of the Black Plague world wide. Brown Rats on the other hand carry Leptospirosis that to this day plagues 3rd world counties and kills thousands of animals on an annual basis.
- Electrical fires can be causes by a high level Rat infestation. Although quite uncommon, Rats are known to have caused electrical fires. Rats and Rodents need to gnaw constantly to grind down their ever growing incisors. All it takes is for them to chew on the wrong wire resulting in an electrical short and worst case, an electrical fire.
- Damage to stored goods as well as structural damage. A large Rat plague will have to get their food from somewhere. Too often when a Rat infestation is left untreated they cause extensive damage in the area they inhabit. The industrial areas here in Harrison suffer more than most. Rats can ransack fruits, grains and animal feeds. Rats are not only responsible to the damage but the knock on effect their fecal matter causes afterwards. While Rats are feeding they urinate and defecate on the foods. This can contaminate feeds and potentially kill the animals or humans that feed on these products.
