 Rats Information :
Rats are various medium-sized, long-tailed rodents of the superfamily Muroidea. "True rats" are members of the genus Rattus, the most important of which to humans are the black rat, Rattus rattus, and the brown rat, Rattus norvegicus. Many members of other rodent genera and families are also referred to as rats, and share many characteristics with true rats.
Rats are typically distinguished from mice by their size; rats are generally large muroid rodents, while mice are generally small muroid rodents. The muroid family is very large and complex, and the common terms rat and mouse are not taxonomically specific. Generally, when someone discovers a large muroid, its common name includes the term rat, while if it is small, the name includes the term mouse. Scientifically, the terms are not confined to members of the Rattus and Mus genera, for example the pack rat and cotton mouse.

Behavior:
Rats tend to be very shy and cautious animals. When confronted with a new object in their environment (such as a trap), they will often avoid it for days until they are used to its presence in the area. Rats usually travel the same pathways over and over and over. This is because once they have found a proven safe route, they stick to it. They also have poor eyesight, but they leave behind a strong pheromone odor telling them where to run. In this photo to the right, rats were running up the same wires over and over again to get into the attic, so a trap on the course captured it. They secrete oil from their fur, and this leaves the scent behind, along with brown smudges. Of course, they also make use of urine markings. Rats tend to follow this scent, which they can detect for years, to find previous rats' entryways into buildings. In fact, rats tend to establish a "scent scape" that helps them maintain familiarity with their environment. This is why is is very important to deodorize an attic that rats have been living in. Rats are considered colonizing animals within groups, and that is the reason why attics can contain several of them. However, they do exhibit territorial characteristics. In most of the cases that I deal with, there are only a few rats living in an attic.

| Habitat: |
Back To Top |
| Rats live about 90% of their lives above ground. They spend much of their time in trees or other thick vegetation off of the ground. Any good cover with small hiding spaces will do. Woodpiles, debris, and garbage piles make great habitat. People don't often see rats out in the wild, because they are nocturnal, and because the slink around in the shadows, and in the heaviest vegetation. They dart from place to place quickly, when they sense that it is safe. When they sense a threat in the area, they will often hold still. |
| Rats Symptoms: |
| Rats are equipped with large teeth and administer painful bites when threatened. The saliva of some species of rats carries hazardous diseases, such as leptospirosis and Hantavirus. In rare cases, rat bite victims may contract rat-bite fever. Humans bitten by rodents are also susceptible to tetanus infections.
Whether in cities, farms, neighborhoods, dumps or sewer systems, rats live within close proximity to human habitats. Outside, they can be found in trees or burrowing beneath the soil. However, rats are also common household pests. As carriers of 70 known diseases, these rodents can prove extremely harmful to human health.
Those living near train stations, subways, garbage dumps, parks or railroads may be particularly susceptible to rat bites, as these areas are densely populated with Norway rats. While rat bites are relatively uncommon, they can be dangerous. Rite bites are not dry bites and are known to transmit a variety of diseases to victims. Rat-bite fever may also result, although cases of RBF are extremely rare in the United States.
Rat bites may be shallow or deep. Some display single puncture wounds, while others display multiple abrasions. Bleeding often occurs. Although infection is rare, all rodent bites should be promptly and thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Tetanus immunizations may be required for those who have not received them in recent years. Despite common belief, no rodent bites in North America have ever resulted in the transmission of rabies. However, in some locales, it may be necessary to receive a rabies vaccination following a rodent bite. |
| Health Concerns: |
Considered responsible for the Black Plague during the Middle Ages, rats are still well-known carriers of over 70 diseases. From the transmission of bubonic plague to typhus and Hantavirus, rat infestations can prove harmful to human health.
One of the most dangerous rat-borne diseases is the bubonic plague and its variants. Transfer occurs when infested rats or rat fleas bite human beings. Symptoms include headache, weakness and coughing. Septicemic plague may result in bleeding into the skin and other organs. This fatal disease often kills within the same day that symptoms first appear.
Rat urine is responsible for the spread of leptospirosis, which can result in liver and kidney damage. Complications include renal and liver failure, as well as cardiovascular problems. Approximately half of the reported cases of leptospirosis are fatal.
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis, a viral infectious disease, is transmitted through the saliva and urine of rats. This disease results in fever, malaise, appetite loss, muscle aches, headache, nausea and vomiting. Victims may also experience inflammation of the central nervous system and can contract meningitis or encephalitis. Some individuals experience long-term effects of lymphocytic choriomeningitis, while others experience only temporary discomfort.
Rats are also known carriers of Hantavirus, a deadly renal syndrome that causes tachycardia and tachypnoea. Victims may be debilitated and can experience cardiovascular shock. Hantavirus is transmitted through rat urine and feces.
various diseses caused by rats-
Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS)
Murine Typhus
Rat-bite fever (RBF)
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium
Leptospirosis
