Rats are both unhygienic and dangerous. Weil's disease (spirochaetosis icterohaemorrhagica) a type of jaundice with fever caused by a substance voided in the urine of rats can be very nasty. Get the rat catchers in asap.

Yes they are dangerous. They carry lots of diseases. We just got rid of them in our house thank god!

They spread the great plagues of Europe in the middle ages, so yes they are unhygenic. Kill it.

bubonic plague (which is deadly), disgusting fleas and rabies. probably more that i cant think of right now. they are totally disgusting and unsanitary. don't forget to call the health and safety officer!

It is the fleas on the rats caused the Black Death. They can give a nasty bite though and would have to be treated.

leptospirosis (weil's disease) and you definitely don't want that.

Yes on both accounts. Get rid of them asap.

if u r at work,what r u doing on the computer?
pet rats r fine,u know if u get it from the store. otherwise KILL it

Yea they are what carried the black plague need i say more

You can catch plenty off them.
They are both dangerous & unhygenic.

Yes they are very dangerous .Rats brought the Bubonic plague to Europe(The Black Death).
Over 50% of Europes population was destroyed.
The pest destruction Officer should be able to get various rat elimination devices & methods activated.

Rats as well as mice can carry disease and I can assure you you don't ever want to corner a rat as they will not think anything about biting you!
