We bought our house in February of this year. In the past week we have been hearing rats in the walls and in the ceiling between floors. We have discovered a small section of loose floor board in the living room and found 2 rat traps under the floorboards. One with a dead decomposed rat in it.
Pest control are currently sorting the issue and have found the entry point. My question is could the dead rat have caused any sickness to my young daughters (2.5 and 7 months) and were the precious owners obligated to disclose to us about rats in the house as they had knowledge of it before selling. It wasn't found during inspection obviously.
