Rats are one of the most common pests in Perth, and they can be a serious nuisance. Not only do they carry diseases that can be harmful to humans, but they also cause damage to property by gnawing on electrical wires and chewing through food packaging.
In addition, rats are known to be aggressive, and they will attack people and pets if they feel threatened.
It is illegal to keep or sell Rats in the state of Western Australia unless you have approval. They are also a major threat to the environment and public health, so rat control programs are common in urban areas.
In Perth, Rat infestation has been linked with several outbreaks of Rat-borne diseases including Rat Bite Fever (RBF) and Hantavirus.
As a result, it is important to take steps to get rid of rats in Perth homes as soon as possible before they turn into large numbers and destroy food sources.
