The Bubonic Plague and Catchmaster
Rats are disgusting. I was in the subway last night and I watched one climb over the rail. He had a bald patch on his large hindquarters, probably from a rat fight, and he was maybe a handspan long, not including his corrugated tail. I sneered.
These animals devastated Europe in the Medieval Era a number of times. The Great Plague of London occurred in the 1660’s and killed about 100,000 people, or approximately 20% of London’s population. The plague also occurred between 1347 and 1353 and is known as the Black Death. They didn’t have rat or mouse glue traps in that time, and the Oriental rat fleas that carried the disease made their way throughout Europe via numerous trade routes. It is estimated that the Black Death killed between thirty and sixty percent of Europe’s population.
So whenever I see a rodent I think about all of this and I become entirely revolted. I mean, who knows, what if the plague were to return via these subway rats? Which is why it’s important if you have a rodent problem to contact the Catchmaster, who knows all about extermination. Don’t wait. Learn how to catch a mouse today.
