Well, I know you might be wondering why would a rodent have taste for cash; not saying it the exact way but their habit of gnawing on things and keeping their teeth in check has caused a huge loss to the money in the ATM devices.
Rats Break Into ATM Machine During The Lockdown, Eat Up Money Worth $44,000
By Felix G, April 14, 2020
Some ATM technicians who arrived to fix a malfunctioning cash machine in the Indian state of Assam during the lockdown got a shock when they opened it up.
Notes worth more than 1.2m rupees ($44,000) had been shredded – and the suspected culprits are rats as reported by BBC.
According to a report by the police, the rodents probably entered the machine through a hole for wiring, the Hindustan Times reported.
Pictures of the chewed cash at the State Bank of India branch in Tinsukia district went viral on social media with one showing a dead rodent lying in the debris.
A similar news was reported in June 2018 where notes worth Rs 12 lakhs inside an ATM belonging to the State Bank of India (SBI) where destroyed by mice.
You know it’s going to be a severe economic downturn when ATMs are being closed because the rodents shred currency notes resulting in technical errors and thus the ATM is out of service.
The reason why rodents are such determined chewers is that they actually chew for survival. Like several other animals of the rodent family, they have characteristic strong incisors that grow all through their lives. The chewing habit is for them, a coping mechanism to file these incisors and keep them from growing out of hand – or mouth, so just like we clip our fingernails, a rat gnaws on things in order to keep its teeth in check. Overgrown teeth are a possible problem for them. They like any surface that they can gnaw on, let the surface be metal, polymer, concrete, wood, etc.
Using mechanical traps, rat baits, glue boards, fumigation is not the way to combat this nuisance.
