Rodents, these small, agile and sometimes invasive creatures, are often considered scourges in our homes and gardens. In addition to the property damage they cause, they can also carry various pathogens dangerous to humans and pets. Among the most common rodents, rats and mice often sneak into our homes, seeking shelter and food.
Identify rodents: Rat or mouse?
Rats tend to proliferate in urban, suburban and agricultural areas. There are black rats and brown rats, generally weighing less than 500 grams. They like attics, cellars and the surrounding areas of homes. On the other hand, mice, which are smaller, have a grayish or brown color and hide in isolated and comfortable places in the house.
