<\/a>Rat and Mice are some of the nastiest animal we deal with, they carry many different types of disease and parasites. They are known to have invaded cities and towns and have their population explode. Rats\u00a0and mice\u00a0reach sexual maturity at 5 weeks and can produce up to 10 to 15 babies in each litter. Rats and mice can have up to 8 litters a year!\u00a0 Yes that’s right, up to 100 babies\u00a0per year per rat.<\/p>\nThey have a gestation period of 22 days. When a female Rat has her babies, the total time of delivery is aprox 1 hour.\u00a0 That is a baby rat\u00a0 every 6 minutes. The growth rate for baby rats is very fast, going from a total hairless baby rat to sexually active member of rat society in less than 4 months.<\/p>\n
Rats are responsible for several very famous events in history like\u00a0the Black Plaque.\u00a0\u00a0The Black Plague started in China where infected rats and mice\u00a0passed the disease to fleas and\u00a0the disease quickly spread to humans and over 25 million people died. That’s right folks, 25,000,000 people died because of a\u00a0rats and disease.\u00a0 Then there was the Bubonic Plaque.\u00a0 Similar to the Black Plaque, this effected human lymph nodes. The mortality rate for the Bubonic was about 75%, meaning that 3 out of 4\u00a0 people who got it, died. To sum it up, Rats and Mice are not a welcome creatures in your house or home.<\/p>\n
