SOME OF THE MOST COMMON PESTS WE ARE CALLED TO CONTROL
OUR FURRY ENEMY THE RAT
How Rats Think and Why It Matters
Believe it or not, rats exhibit a level of intelligence surpassing that of many other animals. Some of their cognitive processes even resemble those of humans. Despite their intelligence, non-pet rats are considered pests, and understanding their cognitive processes becomes crucial when dealing with an infestation.
Exceptional Memory
In addition to metacognition, rats also possess remarkable memories, utilizing episodic memory shared by mammals and birds. Episodic memory involves recalling personal experiences with associated contexts. They can remember over 30 events, demonstrating a strong capacity for remembering specific occurrences and their details.
Regretful Decision Making
Studies have shown that they can experience regret in decision-making. When given two options with differing outcomes, rats expressed interest in the option they did not choose after receiving an undesirable result. This suggests that they remember and reflect on their decisions, avoiding similar choices in the future.
The Significance of Understanding Rat Behaviour
Knowledge of rat cognition is valuable not only for research on conditions like Alzheimer's and amnesia but also for pest control experts. A deep understanding of how they think allows for strategic pest eradication. To eliminate populations effectively, one must think like a rat, leveraging their habits and preferences against them.
Rat Priorities and Considerations
Food
They constantly think about finding food, using their sense of smell and memory to locate it. They memorize routes to food sources and assess the taste to determine toxicity. Group living necessitates consideration of food quantity and acquisition strategies.
Shelter
Seeking a warm, dry nesting spot and gathering materials for building nests are key considerations for rats. They evaluate potential nesting sites based on sensory cues and physical comfort.
Predators
Being relatively small they are consistently aware of potential threats from predators. They avoid areas with previous signs of predators and prefer locations with ample hiding spots.
Can Rats Climb Walls?
It often surprises many to discover that they possess the ability to climb walls. This behaviour is driven by the their high intelligence levels and their innate motivation to evade potential threats. Evolution has equipped them with climbing skills as a survival strategy, offering them an opportunity to escape from ground level predators like cats and dogs.
The method employed by them involves using their claws to navigate vertical surfaces such as walls and pipes. Their tails play a crucial role in maintaining balance while climbing. When in unfamiliar surroundings, they frequently ascend pipes or other objects, enhancing their perspective and providing a better view of the surrounding area.
Can Rats Spread Disease?
Rats can indeed transmit various diseases, although the overall risk to humans is typically low. Besides serving as carriers of diseases, they can also suffer from illnesses due to exposure to certain pathogens. For instance, they can contract leptospirosis by consuming water tainted with the urine or faeces of infected animals. Rats harbour a range of diseases, encompassing parasites and viruses, with leptospirosis and hantavirus being the most prevalent among them.
The following is a list of known diseases caused by rats
Leptospirosis
A bacterial disease affecting both humans and animals, transmitted through contact with water or soil contaminated by infected animal urine.
Symptoms include fever, headache, chills, muscle aches, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain.
Lassa Fever
A viral haemorrhagic illness caused by the Lassa virus, transmitted through contact with urine or saliva of infected rodents, particularly rats.
Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
Haemorrhagic Fever
A viral disease with a high mortality rate, caused by agents of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) or Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS).
Usually transmitted through contact with rodents, their excreta, saliva, or tick bites.
Hantavirus
is classified as a viral haemorrhagic fever (VHF). This virus is transmitted through rodents, and human infection occurs when individuals inhale or ingest dust containing particles from rodent urine, droppings, or saliva. The symptoms of Hantavirus infection usually start with flu-like manifestations, and over time, they can escalate into severe illness, potentially resulting in death. It is crucial to note that early detection and appropriate medical intervention are essential for managing and improving the prognosis of Hantavirus infections.
It is important to take precautions to prevent the spread of disease from rats these include
Keeping them out of your home and business by proofing vulnerable entry points.
Sealing up any holes or cracks that rats could use to enter your home or business.
Setting traps to catch them but only in areas safe to do so to protect non target species..
Poisoning rats (under the supervision of a professional pest control company like ABC 24/7 Pest Control).
