I Now is I
the Time |
Now that the weather is getting
cooler you may find some un
wanted guests in your bam and
home. You won’t see them too
often perhaps, but they’re there.
These guests will destroy more
food and property than they eat.
The guests in question are rats and
mice.
It’s estimated that a hundred
million rats cost Americans a
billion dollars a year. That is ten
dollars a rat.
Rats thrive in areas where
grains lay on the ground, where
trash and garbage cans lay
around, and where trash piles
exist. Rats not only spoil foods;
they kill small animals and
chickens. They also carry diseases
to men and animals.
