Comprehensive Rat and Mouse Pest Control Services

The two species of pest rats that are now ubiquitous in Australia arrived alongside European settlers on ships. This mode of transport facilitated their spread to many other parts of the world too. Rats have left a significant mark on human history, most notably for their role in spreading the Black Death. This bubonic plague pandemic swept across Western Eurasia and North Africa from 1346 to 1353, making it the deadliest recorded pandemic in human history. It claimed the lives of an estimated 75–200 million people, with Europe seeing the worst of the outbreak from 1347 to 1351.
