In the Chinese zodiac calendar, the rat is the first of the 12-year cycle of animals. And it looks like 2020 will really be the year of the rat based on the number of inquires we have had about rats in the attic, crawl space and infesting structures. Chinese legend states that rats are shrewd, fast thinkers; efficacious, but contented with living a quiet and passive life. The rat is also linked with the Earthly Branch (an ordering system used throughout East Asia) and the midnight hours. The Rat is the yang of yin and yang and represents the beginning of a new day. In Chinese culture, rats were seen as a sign of wealth and surplus, although it is pretty much opposite here. Because of their reproduction rate, married couples also prayed to them for children.
