Probably because the native rats were overwhelmed by the larger Pandyssian rats that were introduced by Burrows and his goons.

Also, literal thousands of these rats were killed - even the ones in swarms. Yes, they sometimes the swarms overran people, but they were killed just as often.

Finally, it seems they neither wanted nor had control of the infection which drove them as mad as the Weepers seem to have been.
