Rats and mice can be a serious economic and health problem. The appearance of a single rat or mouse is not necessary the indication of infestation, but may suggest that a nest may be nearby. Rodents eat large quantities of human and livestock food but do more damage by contamination with their urine, feces, hair, and other filth. Rats may travel distances of 150 feet or more.
Rodents are excellent climbers that use pipes, electrical wires, clinging vines, and walls to gain access to a building. They are capable of doing damage by gnawing wood and building materials. Mice are more of a problem to the average homeowner than rats.
