rats

The rat is a true survivor that can carry rabies or other infectious bacteria. At one time, the rat carried fleas which caused the bubonic plague. The rat is very vicious, and will attack if hungry or cornered. It lives and breeds in attics, basements, and roofing. It has a constant ravenous appetite and will eat both human and pet food.

Why Control Rats?

- Rats, whether dead or alive, spread disease.

- They contaminate our food with urine and droppings;

• - Start fires by gnawing on electric wires; and
• 
  - Destroy keepsakes and valuable possessions by gnawing.

 

• House mice

  House mice normally live outdoors in fields, occasionally migrating into structures. In houses, they live behind walls and in cabinets and furniture.
  

• They prefer to feed on grains but usually nibble at a wide variety of foods. House mice require only 1/10 ounce of food and 1/20 ounce of water daily, surviving on food alone if it has high moisture. Frequently house mice range 10-30 feet from harborages.
  

  House mice are brown to gray in color with the tail as long as the body. Adults weigh about 1/2 ounce. Their droppings are 1/8 inch long and rod-shaped. House mice live about 1 year and reach sexual maturity in 6 weeks. They have 5-6 young per litter and up to 8 litters per year.
