Rats are a common problem that homeowners and businesses face all around the world. These rodents are not only unsightly and destructive, but they can also pose a serious risk to the health of those around them. In this article, we will discuss the dangers of rat infestations and how our company, Southern Pest Management, can help you solve these issues.  

Rat Infestations: What You Need to Know –  

Rats are notorious for their ability to breed quickly, meaning that a few rodents can quickly turn into a full-blown infestation. They are incredibly adaptive and can live in a wide range of environments, from urban areas to rural farmland. These pests are also notorious for their destructive nature, chewing through electrical wires, walls, and insulation in search of food and shelter, and whatever food they do find not only by consuming it but by contamination as well. 

Health Risks Associated with Rats –  

Rats are known carriers of several diseases that can pose a significant risk to human health. These include leptospirosis, rat-bite fever, salmonella, and hantavirus, among others. Exposure to rat droppings and urine can also lead to respiratory problems, particularly in individuals with asthma or other respiratory conditions.
