The connection between covid-19 and possible increase in rat infestations

Rat infestations are extremely common in the urban environment, but what is happening in our cities right now is full-on rat polyps. With all the restaurants and cafes closed down rats have to find other ways to get food. Their lovely full garbage is all gone and their access is cut off by locked doors.

The rats are likely to panic over the loss of their usual food stashes. Many rats will actually begin eating each other in a mad grab for food. Others will realize there are other places to eat. What happens when a horde of rats cant get their restaurant food? They will come to your house and try to get their food from you.

You can also expect to see rats out in daylight a lot more often, looking for food and also eating each other. That’s an important part, that they eat each other. 

That isn’t all though. There are questions about rodents being carriers of the coronavirus. If this is the case then the rat apocalypse may be worse than we think as rats run around the city spreading covid-19. This has not been researched but rats are carriers of many diseases and the possibility is there. 

The danger is these crazed rats coming into your home and infesting it. They will be far more aggressive than usual city rats and will be far more willing to go for food, possibly even in the daytime. They may even bite a human who tries to intercede. The good news is these desperate rats will be easy to take out with baited snap traps, they’ll be thinking with their stomach, not their brains. 

If you still can’t get rid of them you can call the professionals at Exterminators Inc, and get some serious commercial-grade help with your rat problem.
