Rats were probably introduced to Sydney with the First Fleet from Britain in 1788. Rats, and parasites such as bedbugs, lice, cockroaches and fleas, tormented the convicts, officers and marines. These pests most probably entered the country accidentally when cargo was unloaded in Sydney Cove, by the First Fleet. In the past 12 months, more than 330 complaints have been made.
