Oakland Rodent Removal Tip:

Can a rat hurt a human?
Rats are commonly found on and around human environments as pests and are never fun to have around. The critters are highly unwanted because of the numerous ways in which they can cause trouble. In this article, we consider the different ways through which rats cause trouble that has earned the critters quite the reputation. Can rats hurt humans? Yes, they can, through the different ways that they cause damage. We highlight them below. 

Rat-bite fever
Rats bite humans, and rat-bite fever can be transmitted through rat bites. The destructive critters can carry the bacteria that causes the fever in their saliva. They could spread the disease through bites and scratches. They could also spread the disease through food and liquids. As they move around in homes and other properties in search of food and suitable shelter, they could leave their saliva on food and liquids and spread the disease.

The disease has common symptoms such as fever and vomiting. Joint pain is another common symptom of rat-bite fever. The disease could be fatal if the required medical care is not provided. 

Rat-borne diseases
Rats spread other types of diseases with their biological materials. They can spread the diseases through their feces, urine, and other allergen-like materials they produce. Rats spread serious diseases, including hantavirus, leptospirosis, plague, and typhus. The diseases can be spread through different means such as food, water, and inhalation.

Structural damage 
Rats could be ground-dwelling or climbing critters. They could infest properties by climbing through tall structures and enter homes and other structures through burrows. Irrespective of the method the critters apply, their presence and infestation can come with significant structural damage.

Structural damage is associated with the indoor and outdoor infestation of the critters. Outdoors, they could create burrows that disrupt the structure such as the foundation. The critters can chew their way into a property, with their ever-growing teeth. They could also chew through literally every material they find indoors, in a bid to keep the growth of their teeth in check. 

The structural damage that these critters cause can directly hurt humans. Accidents could occur because parts of a property lost their structural integrity from the activity of rats. This is in addition to the critters hurting the bank account of their hosts. 

Fire
Fire hazards are specially considered as a form of damage that rats cause. Since the critters can chew through anything, electrical wires and gas pipes are not left out. They can chew through electrical wires and cause electrical fires. The critters can also chew gas pipes and cause fires that way. 

The tendency of the critters to cause fires is increased by the fact that they like to infest areas where they could easily encounter electrical wires and gas pipes. They also have to chew on the wires and pipes to control the growth of their teeth. By causing fires, rats can directly hurt and kill humans. 

Infestations pose threats in different ways to humans. The critters may seem harmless but can actually hurt humans in multiple ways. 

It is noteworthy that rats actively seek out human environments to infest. Human dwellings could provide abundant food, shelter, and water for the critters. They can live around human dwellings and survive on wastes from garbage cans and dumpsters. This is why they prefer human environments to the wild where they have to compete with other critters. 

Because rats will always find human dwellings appealing, strategic efforts must be taken to prevent infestations. Infesting critters could be trapped and physically removed. Lethal measures for getting rid of rats could also be applied. General exclusion measures also help to keep rats away from human dwellings.
