Watch Out for Mice, Rats and Rodents This Fall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Rodents are a diverse group of mammals that includes rats, mice, hamsters, beavers, porcupines, squirrels and gerbils. Although rodent species can vary widely in terms of their appearance, they do have certain things in common. Here’s some information on distinguishing characteristics of rodents<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Incisors with Nonstop Growth<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most notable characteristics of rats, mice and other rodents<\/a> is that they have pairs of incisors that are constantly growing. Since these teeth never stop growing, rodents have to gnaw in order to prevent them from becoming too long. This is why having mice and other rodents around can cause problems in your home. These rodents frequently gnaw on wood and other materials, which can cause damage or fire hazards if they chew on wiring.<\/p>\n

Heightened Senses<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rodents commonly have senses of smell, vision and hearing that are much more sensitive than ours. Some rodents, such as mice and other nocturnal species, have large eyes that help them see better in the dark. Many rodents also have whiskers that help enhance their sense of touch. NJ rat control<\/a> and mice control professionals know how to find and catch these rodents, even with their heightened senses.<\/p>\n
