Is this generally held to be a problem? They seem to live under it rather
than in it, and I only see them when my terrier decides to stir them up
for
fun. Compost is about 30m from the house.

Doesn't rat urine transmit Weill's disease? This can be contracted through
cuts and broken skin, although I can't remember what it does, only that it's
nasty.

I can say from personal experience it makes you feel pretty ill.
Before I was eventually carted off to hospital I was fully
understanding of the meaning "going backwards" in life rather than
forwards.
