Rats are ugly creatures that live in gardens, sewer drains, attics, barns and outhouses. They are not clean hence their presence in your household is not desired. It is only one of their traits that make you hate them as they have more short comings that will make you cringe with disdain. Rats are large species of mice and they both sport the same features excepting rats supersede mice in size and menace. Rats can actually bite when they are disturbed or angered and that may lead to dangerous infections like rate bite fever. If you find rats in your home or see telltale signs of their presence call BBPP immediately, the most experienced Rat Control King Woodbridge and get rid of them.
What makes rats dangerous?
Rats are smart
Rats have elephantine memory and they can easily navigate through the same route and every route they have ventured without needing to think twice. They remember every location they have visited and that allows them to get in and out of entry points with uncanny ability, thus making them hard to catch. They are meticulous when they are zooming on foods and the places where they had found them before. It is important to proof your home for roots when you seal the entries, because they remember every hole and crevice in your house.
Rats are agile
Rats are extremely quick and agile and can walk on the overhanging wire to reach your home. They will sneak in to your home using the cable and get into an open window which you forgot to close. Rats can survive a 50-feet fall without suffering injury so climbing pipes and walking on wire is not a big deal for them, this makes rat proofing difficult for owners. These extreme abilities make them dangerous as they can easily infiltrate your home by their acrobatic abilities.
Rats Are Stronger
Rats are stronger than mice and have enough strength to open doors, cupboards, cabinets, container lids and even your household refrigerator. A highly motivated rat by hunger can do this effortlessly and do away with your food. Rats also have the ability to lift things that are heavier than their body weight, moving a pound of food bag is no big deal for them. They have springy feet hence are able to jump or leap at least 2 feet in the air and jump across 4 feet. This is the reason they are able to reach places that are hard to reach.
Rats can enter smallest holes
Rats have spongy and flexible bodies that they can flatten while squeezing through gaps under doors, voids in the wall or tiny holes on sidings or furniture. Once they get their head in it is easy for them to compress their bodies and enter your spaces.
Rats can communicate
Rats have the gift to talk to each other thus communicate with other rats of impending danger. This makes rats difficult to catch as they pre-warn other rates to stay away. rats are pretty nimble on their feet and quick so they disappear by scurrying across the floor and in to safety’s hand before you can move a muscle.
Rats can chew more
Rats bigger in size have incisors that are longer and sharper and they use them with telling effect. They can chew more and cause more damage to your household items, food, insulations, wires and switch panels. They may cause fire accidents by chewing live wires and causing electric short circuit.
