Compost And Rats

Question

I have a long time compost heap in a green (old) rubbermaid container. This year there was a rat in it (since found dead). I\’m sure there are more rats in my neighborhood. Question: is it safe to use the compost in my vegetable garden?

Answer 1

Likely, it is safe. The microbes composting the materials will make quick work of anything bad.
