Economic value of rat extermination campaign in the United States
The United States Department of Agriculture outlines the economic benefits of rat control. A driven effort in 28 counties led to tens of thousands of rats killed in a special day, with estimates suggesting hundreds of thousands removed overall. Rats threaten crops by destroying kernels and spreading disease, while breeding rapidly. Authorities urge continued state support, noting Koos county reported 10,000 rats killed in a recent drive.
