Rats: Masters of Survival
Few animals spark such strong reactions as rats. For some people, they’re symbols of filth and fear; for others, they’re intelligent, social creatures worthy of admiration. The truth, as usual, sits somewhere in the middle. Rats have lived alongside humans for thousands of years, adapting to our cities, farms, and homes with remarkable success.
These rodents are incredibly adaptable, thriving in environments ranging from dense urban centres to rural farmlands. Their success comes from a combination of intelligence, physical agility, and an uncanny ability to survive on almost any food source. In the wild or in cities, rats are opportunistic omnivores, eating grains, fruits, meat scraps, and just about anything else they can find.
Rats are able to gain entry into houses or business buildings with considerable ease. They are able to chew through the toughest of materials, including metal and bricks. They have excellent memories and can learn from experience, which is one reason they’re so difficult to eradicate once they establish a territory.
