Why are some animals associated with Halloween and pest control?
Rats have been long feared. Known to infest abandoned, filthy, run-down places rats were associated with plagues and epidemics in times gone by. In fact, rats were blamed for the Black Death plague across Europe in the 14th and 17th centuries although more recent studies suggest that they might not have been responsible after all.
Do Rats carry diseases?
Rats carry diseases, some-times very serious and potentially fatal diseases so naturally people are fearful of the rat.
