YES, exponentially! Female rodents can have around 40 babies per year on
average and are able to conceive only 48 hours after giving birth. They
also become sexually mature at nine weeks, which means that a population
can grow from two rats to more than 1,200 in just 12 months. That’s
why it’s essential to call for rodent control services at the first
sign of a rodent problem, because it can and will get worse the longer you wait.
