Rats and mice cause a huge loss of food worldwide. Besides eating our
food they spoil it by contamination with their feces, urine, or fur. They
can be found not only in our homes, but supermarkets, restaurants, warehouses,
food processing facilities, livestock facilities, and farm fields. They
reproduce rapidly with major activity at night.
They also cause damage to our buildings by their burrowing and gnawing
activity. Rodents will gnaw through many types of materials in order
to reach a location including lead sheathing, cinder block, aluminum siding and
some concrete. They are also able to squeeze through very small openings:
1/4 inch for mice and 1/2 inch for rats.
