RATS are known to spread horrible diseases. The prevalent and deadly disease spread by rats in Malaysia is leptospirosis, say Rentokil Initial Malaysia managing director Carol Lam and technical director Juliana Soo.
Other diseases include rat-bite fever, salmonellosis, murine typhus and infected jaundice. On top of that, rats, as everyone knows, can damage property with their gnawing and chewing.
“Rat incisors never stop growing. They must be kept short by gnawing on hard objects such as bricks, plastic, aluminium or electrical wires which may cause a fire outbreak,” Lam and Soo tell TheEdgeProperty.com.
You may also want to know that rats can enter the premises of a house through openings as small as half an inch while a quarter inch could allow pups to squeeze through.
