Don’t under-estimate this enemy. Rats are cunning and very destructive. Rats can live anyv/here; they can climb or swim. And rats carry INFECTION. Rats have caused plagues and fires, and today in New Zealand they are piling up a huge bill for damage. A pair of rats can , in 3 years breed a progeny of 259,000,000. There are millions of rats in this country and they are increasing. „ PREVENT! DESTROY! Keep all food and waste in rat-proof containers. Remove all rubbish from the yard. Fill rat burrows with concrete which incorporates broken glass. Scatter powdered glass along the rat run-way. Keep changing your methods. Use dogs and cats, or traps, or poison (e.g. barium carbonate or one of the newer poisons.) Fumigation may be necessary where burrowing is extensive. Consult your local authority; they will advise you further. Don’t let up. The loathsome Rat is eating into your money and health.
