Rat infestations are a severe problem in modern England. The rodents themselves are not dangerous,
A rat infestation poses many risks for homeowners, including contamination of food, electric wires, and the structural elements of a house. Rats are notorious for gnawing through these objects in an attempt to eat or nest. The presence of rat droppings is also hazardous to humans because it can transmit disease-causing organisms between rodents and humans.
Rats are very intelligent animals who are able to figure out how to open cabinets, containers, drawers, diaper bags, etc. if their contents smell promising enough. Therefore, if you suspect you have rats living inside your home or near your property line, some clear signs indicate their presence, and a Netherton rat catcher near me will be required.

Rats and the diseases they can infect you with
The most common disease spread by rats is Weil's disease or leptospirosis. This disease is transmitted through rat urine, contaminating food sources if not properly handled. Rats also give off bacteria responsible for severe salmonellosis cases every year. In addition, rats carry Hantavirus, plague, and Lassa fever. This infection of the nervous system can be transmitted if a rat bites someone. However, a person will not be able to tell if a rat has bitten them because the fur does not usually leave any marks on their skin.

leptospirosis Symptoms include fever, headache, chills, vomiting, diarrhoea, jaundice, redness in palms of hands
