Rats

Rats are the one rodent which many people cannot abide. They wreck items and residential property, and carry hazardous diseases like Leptospirosis, otherwise called Weil's disease (pronounced Veil's). This disease is transmitted to humans in the urine of infected rats. It is normally associated with watercourses & sewers, as well as damp dirt where there is an infestation of rats.

Rats may nest in your home, in loft areas, under flooring or behind cooking cabinets. They much prefer to live outdoors in underground burrows or under outside buildings and so on.
