Rat pests cause many hazards to humans and the environment

Health hazards: Rat pests can spread diseases, such as plague, cholera, pneumonia, etc. These diseases can seriously endanger human health. They can also spread bacteria and parasites through food and water sources, causing gastrointestinal infections and food poisoning.

Damage to crops: Many rodent pests will attack crops and eat the roots, leaves, flowers and fruits of crops, which will lead to reduced yield and quality of crops, seriously affecting agricultural production.

Building damage: Many rodent pests nest in buildings and eat wood and other building materials, which can cause structural damage and threaten people's safety.

Economic losses: The economic losses caused by rodent pests are significant, including medical costs for people due to disease and food poisoning, losses caused by reduced crop yields, and the cost of building repairs and restoration.

Environmental impacts: Many rodent pests negatively impact ecosystems. They can upset the ecological balance by eating plants, killing insects and small mammals.

Therefore, it is very important to control rodent pests. There are steps we can take to reduce rodent infestation, such as sealing trash cans, removing food debris indoors and outdoors, patching leaky pipes, and repairing cracks and holes. In addition, control measures such as mouse traps, poison baits, trash cans, and net covers can be used to control the number of rodent pests.
