Scary Rat Mauling

 

Rats are generally pretty shy -they don’t like light and they don’t like people so its kind of a terrifying when you hear a story about rats attacking people. In a senior apartment complex when a resident attempted to use the garbage chute, that very thing happened. A women opened the garbage chute and noticed a rat chewing on kitchen garbage. As she watched the rat in amazement, a second rat attacked her, causing deep scratches on her neck. She was rushed to the hospital and after minor surgery she was okay, but she described the episode as “it was a rat mauling and it was very scary.”

While rat attacks are very unusual, residents of apartments will often discover rodents in and around their homes. When rats get into an apartment they will leave droppings along the kitchen counters, on the floor and even on couches. Here are a few things residents can do to make themselves less of a target to any rodent: 1- keep counter tops, under stoves, refrigerators and appliances clean. 2- store dry foods in plastic or metal rodent proof containers. 3- clear piles of debris away from house and keep garbage in rodent proof garbage bins.
