Methods of Destroying Rats

"Methods of Destroying Rats" by David E. (David Ernest) Lantz is a bulletin from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that tackles the widespread issue of rat infestations. It zooms in on the Norway rat, labeling it as a harmful pest that leads to financial losses and the spread of diseases. Tailored for farmers, homeowners, and city residents, the book is full of advice on how to manage rat populations. It points out different techniques for getting free of rats, such as setting traps, using poisonous substances, and sealing buildings against them, calling for a long-term commitment to controlling rats.
