And that brings us to Today's Fun Fact Friday about a common rat pest found all around Pennsylvania. It goes by many names, including the common rat, street rat, and sewer rat. You may also know it as the Gray Rat, Norway Rat, or Master Splinter.
They aren't native to North America though and are thought to have come here from either China or Mongolia on ships many years ago.
These rat pests are going to be found living anywhere near people, especially in urban environments. Though they are best known for living in sewer tunnels and subway systems, they are drawn to many food sources such as outside dumpsters, pizza, and interior dry foods storages.
It’s a misconception that these rats spread the bubonic plague. In actuality, it’s more commonly spread through ground squirrels! Unfortunately, they can still transmit infections of many kinds as their blood can carry several diseases.
