Do you have rats in your house?
Rats, these small unwanted mammals, are unfortunately very present in Quebec. They adapt easily to our environment and can quickly invade our homes, businesses and public spaces.
The dangers of rats
A rat infestation can cause many problems, including:
- Food contamination: Rats can contaminate food with their droppings, urine and hair.
- Property damage: Rats can gnaw on electrical cables, pipes and wooden structures.
- Disease transmission: Rats can transmit diseases such as leptospirosis, salmonellosis and plague.
