Being social animals living in groups, rodents are very well adapted to living in close proximity to us humans sharing our food and shelter.
Rodents are one of the common pests that the home or business owner has to deal.
Being prolific breeders rodents are capable of producing a litter of babies almost every month with mice reaching sexual maturity at 6 weeks and rats from 3 months of age. Considering these facts it can be understood how a small infestation of rodents can become a serious problem for the home or business owner.
In determining how many rodents you may be dealing with, generally speaking if you have seen evidence of rodents i.e. their faeces but you have not seen any rodents the population can be anywhere from 1 -100.
Seeing Rodents in the day and again at night indicates a population of anywhere from between 100 up to 5000.
As rodents travel such as over food benches, flooring and shelving they produce a stream of urine which marks their trails. They also produce between 40 and 100 droppings per day.
The main three rodents that are of great concern are the Norway Rat, Roof Rat and House Mouse. The distribution and abundance of rodents is largely determined by the availability of food and shelter. Rodents will enter buildings to seek warmth, to nest and to be closer to food sources.
The presence of rats and mice in buildings is usually regarded as undesirable from the viewpoint of food spoilage and contamination, physical damage, and the transmission of diseases to humans. These diseases such as the Hanta virus, bubonic plague, and leptospirosis can be spread to us humans directly through contact with rodent faeces, urine, or saliva, and through rodent bites. They can also be spread to us humans indirectly through fleas, ticks or mites.
