What to know about Rodents

Rodents are mammals characterized by a single pair of continuously growing incisors in each of the upper and lower jaws. Rodents are famous for being able to chew through soft concrete, wood, plastic, aluminum, and cinder block. These pests can gain entrance to a building through any opening larger than ½ inch across. Did you know that rats can travel through sewage systems and enter through drains? With various diseases both directly and indirectly transmitted by rodents, these pests prove not only to be a sanitary concern, but a health concern as well.

The brown rat can breed throughout the year if conditions are suitable. With a female producing up to five litters a year the population of rats can grow by a factor of 10 in just 15 weeks. This makes it possible for the population to grow from 2 to 15,000 in only one year!
