1. Mice Can Damage Goods

Mice can sneak into homes through unexpected holes and can breed in dark and damp areas. The presence of mice can be detrimental to homeowners as they can damage objects in their presence.

Rats love to bite things like walls, cables, plastic pipes, aluminum, gas lines, food, furniture and even clothes. This is because rat teeth grow every day and must be scraped by biting the items around them.

The activities of mice at night can also damage furniture such as breaking things because they are nudged by their bodies.

2. Rats carry diseases

Rats carry salmonella bacteria that come from their feces, fur shedding, urine and saliva. Salmonella itself is often associated with symptoms of food poisoning.

Then Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis (LCMV) is a viral disease transmitted through rodents, one of which is rats. Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis (LCMV) is a serious neurological problem that can result in inflammation of the meninges and brain.

Rat droppings that cause unpleasant odors and pollute the room should not be disposed of carelessly. Use gloves to protective masks to avoid being easily exposed to disease.

So, don't eat food that has been exposed to urine, saliva and rat feces.

3. Rats often make annoying noises

Mice are usually active at night, so don't be surprised if you often hear the sound of mice in the attic of your house at night because these rodents are on the move around the house. This rat activity causes noise and disturbs sleep at night.

Those are some of the losses that can be caused by rats. Although small in size, but this one rodent can cause a lot of harm.
