Health Officials Issue Warning About Rodent Influx After Flooding in Washington

Health officials are raising alarms about the potential for increased rodent activity in the aftermath of recent flooding in Washington. According to an advisory, floodwaters can displace rodents, sweeping them through sewer systems and occasionally into homes. This phenomenon, often referred to as "toilet rats," poses a significant health risk to residents.

As floodwaters recede, the likelihood of rodents seeking shelter in homes increases. These animals can carry various diseases, making it crucial for homeowners to take preventive measures. Authorities recommend sealing any gaps or openings in homes that could serve as entry points for rodents. Additionally, residents are urged to maintain cleanliness and avoid leaving food exposed, as these practices can deter rodents from entering.

The advisory emphasizes the importance of vigilance during this time, as the aftermath of flooding can create ideal conditions for rodent infestations. Residents are encouraged to report any sightings of rats to local health departments for further action.
