Problems Caused by Rats
Besides the negative reviews that will inevitably come from rats in your business, they are known to indirectly or directly transmit 35 diseases including salmonellosis, typhus, Hantavirus, and even the plague. No business could come back from a customer or employee getting that sick in your business. Some businesses are more at risk than others but no matter where they are, rats can and will multiply quickly and are no joke. You need a professional rat exterminator to come in and do the correct rat treatments to take care of them.
The Norway rat is the most prominent rat species in our area. It has a heavy body with coarse and shaggy fur that is dense with short hairs, a blunt muzzle, and small eyes and ears. The head and body length of an adult Norway rat is about 7 to 9 inches long and the tail length is 6 to 8 inches in length. The brown fur of the Norway rat lightens toward the underside. They can be alarmingly large – they are certainly a rat you do not want in your business.
