Facts About Washington Rats

Although small, an Olympia rat can be one of the most annoying animals that we, humans do live with. Although there are people who like having rats as their pets, they are not aware of the harmful nature of these rodents. This is the most destructive small rodent that you can ever find in your homestead. A rat, though small can cause major havoc to your store especially if you have some edibles and most importantly grains in your home. These rodents can chew and put to waste a whole ninety kilogram sack of maize within a matter of days. You can never afford to underestimate these small Washington creatures because they have strength of their own.



When living with the humans, Washington rats can bring a major health issue to our families. For one, they are major carries of rabies which is a deadly disease. If one gets a rat bite, it would be advisable for him or her to go to the nearest healthcare unit to seek medical attention. Although these animals live with rabies virus in them it has lesser harm to them as it does with the humans. A person infected with rabies can lose his life in a matter of weeks. The rabies virus fights with the human immune system, overpowers it and makes it harder for the organs to move or function properly. This is the reason why any rabies carrying organism should be taken with great care. Since we cannot vaccinate an Olympia rat, it would be better for one to keep them out of the reach of the house because they cause more havoc than good. In fact, they have no advantage or use when in our houses hence we should just eliminate them all together.

Another serious case with having Olympia rats in your homestead is fleas. Fleas find a better habitat in the rat's body. Since the body is covered with fur, the fleas can hide in it hence making it harder for the rat itself to keep them off. When we have a close encounter with these rats, and especially when they get into our wardrobes, some remnants of the fleas are left in the clothes. You can almost guess what happens when we do were a cloth that is infested with fleas. Since fleas are really small, they can make you jump and scratch yourself all the way to your workplace. With their tiny bodies, they can easily evade your fingers and continue harming you. They also do help the rats with carrying the rabies virus hence a major concern. You can get rid of these fleas by washing your clothes with a detergent, although doing so while you have Washington rats in your home can be another major concern to you.

In case you are wondering how Washington rats do survive, then here is how. One rat can give birth to almost eight kids and can do so almost six times in a year. This means that one rat can bring forth a whole family of more than thirty rats in your homestead. You can imagine the kind of havoc and harm all these can bring to your family especially if you are not careful. To keep these animals at bay, you should make sure that you have all holes and cracks in your home sealed. If you live near a garden or a forest, make sure that you have all these holes covered and that your doors close tightly. This will keep the rats out of reach and safer. When you do so, you can have a cat in your homestead. Cats are major enemies to Olympia rats hence they will eat the rats out leaving you to live a better life
