Rats are known for causing all kinds of trouble in NJ, but one adventurous rat in India managed to mess up an ATM. Learn more about this incident and why it’s so important to have professional NJ pest control handle rodent problems as quickly as possible.
A Diet of Cash
The rat that found its way into the inside of an ATM machine wasn’t just looking for a place to hide. This rodent ended up chewing up $18,000 in cash while it was in the machine. When the ATM machine wasn’t working for three days, bank technicians opened it up and found the rat surrounded by a pile of shredded bills. The rat didn’t make it, but it seems to have had a filling meal of money.
