Rodents are definitely the number one pest that people do not want to live with. Not only they are unsightly, but they also pose a significant threat not just to your home appliances but also to your health. Some diseases that could be spread by them include Salmonella and Leptospirosis. Rodents also carry fleas which could pose potential problems to your domestic pets.
To exterminate rodents effectively, it is important to know their behaviour and habits. Listed below are some interesting facts about rodents.
- Omnivores – they feed on both plant and animal food.
- Live in cold and dark areas such as sewers, attics, bushes, clusters etc.
- Active in the night.
- Gnaw / bite to keep their teeth short, as their teeth continuously growing.
- Communal animals where they live together.
- Excellent swimmer and climber but poor sighting.
- Rodent can squeeze through an opening as small as 12mm in diameter.
