Norway Rat Problems
Signs of Norway rat infestation include plentiful droppings, noises like frequent scratching or scampering, burrows near house foundations, and the bodies of deceased rats.
- In addition to sullying their surroundings, Norway rats bite and scratch when they feel threatened.
- Since they transmit several serious diseases, Norway rat bites and scratches leave humans susceptible to any number of viruses, including rat-bite fever, the plague, and lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCMV). The rodents may also carry smaller pests like fleas.
- Finally, as accomplished burrowers, Norway rats damage building foundations and sidewalks and gnaw on a variety of objects, leaving behind unseemly teeth marks. If you or someone you know has been hurt by a Norway rat, call a professional immediately.
