Weil's Disease

Some rats are are vicious creatures that carry deadly diseases and can severely harm a human. According to John Davis, “Around 60% of the rodents carry Weil's disease, he added, which causes flu-like symptoms or in more serious cases kidney and heart failure”. Also as claimed Victoria Gill, “A once in a generation, gigantic plague of rats, that ruins crops and leaves people starving”. To add on, rats can be a really insane and cause infestations and why they cause them. Also many people try to terminate the infestations they have to deal with from the rats.

Rat infestations is a horde of rats, mostly coming to do damage. Many people believe that the rat population does not get smaller, but it grows more. For example, Victoria Gill states, “... gigantic plagues of rats, that ruins tall crops…”. This states that there must have to been hordes in order to reach tall crops. It also shows that there must have been a lot to be able to eat everything. Also John Davison states, “Last year calls to pest controllers rose by 18%.

But this figure will increase
by a further 20% this year…”. This demonstrates that rat population grew instead is decreasing, and it also states that there is now more diseases spread from more rodents.

There are many reasons why rat infestations happen all around the world.
One reason is because of the cold rainy weather that drove the rodents from the wet sewers. According to John Davison, “ Recent cold weather and flooding is believed to have led the disease-carrying rodents to shelter indoors.” This explains that the severe weather managed to move the rats to a dry, warm, and peaceful place to be at. It also states that, the wet sewer is their natural habitat, but would rather be warm and dry. Another reason is because of their strong appetite. Just as Mrs. Gill states, “This explosion in the rodent population, leading to swarms of hungry pests, is caused by a glut in the food supply, namely bamboo seeds.” This shows that the rats were so desperate for food that they get in houses. It also demonstrates that because of the food that they get, they can reproduce more and grow the
population.

However, there are many people trying to stop rat infestations in many ways so numerous amount of people and their household will not be a victim to the rats. A reason is, according to Paul Schattenberg,“A program using rodenticides and traps, removal of shelter, removal of food and water, and rat-proofing is most effective.” This shows that they are smart to think about taking all the things that rats are attracted to, and it explains that people are willing to move everything to live a better life. In addition, Mr. Schattenberg states, “Some people consider getting a cat or dog that has been bred or trained to be a “mouser.” This states that dogs and cats are used to haunt rats to help the household. Moreover this reveals that the homeowners are motivated to get rid of the rodents to help each other.

. To conclude, The rat infestations are a bad and difficult time to live through, because of the terrible events that happen. Even if everyone knows the deadly and vicious rat population is not going to decrease there is always something everyone can do to help to try and stop it.
