This Channel is about the Pest Control of Rats
Rats can carry a number of diseases that can be harmful to humans and domestic livestock. Some of the most common rat-borne diseases include:
Hantavirus
Leptospirosis
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCMV)
Plague
Rat-bite fever
Salmonellosis
It is always best to take precautions to prevent contact with rats.
Rats are a very prolific species and one female can have up to twenty babies in one litter. The gestation period for rats is about twenty days. They are able to produce two litters of pups a year, which means that the number of rats in your home could double every four months. Female rats reach sexual maturity at 8 weeks of age (4 weeks after their first heat cycle), while males reach sexual maturity at 10 weeks of age (6 weeks after their first heat cycle). Rats can breed throughout the year if they have access to plenty of food and shelter.
