The Rat
The rat is a true survivor that can carry rabies or other infectious bacteria. At one time, the rat carried fleas that 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.
Treatment and Control:
Norway rat, roof rat and house mouse are commensal rodents. They prefer different harborage; their life cycles, behavior and feeding preference are different from each other. Their control strategies require different approaches. Dewey Integrated Pest Management (DIPM) program will effectively eliminate commensal rodents from a structure.
