  • Rats and mice can build nests which not only increases their numbers but can result in attracting other pests like snakes who feed on them
  • Some rat species are capable of producing large litters of 10 plus young every 3 weeks
  • Around the world rats and mice are know to spread over 35 diseases that can infect both people and pets, including; the plague, salmonellosis, leptospirosis and tularemia
  • Snakes can enter unprotected roof spaces to feed on rats and mice, although not all snakes are deadly but some are high risk to both humans and pets
