\"How
How to Keep Rats from Moving In This Fall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Rodents, especially rats and mice, are very common throughout NJ. Many homeowners have had to hire a Mommouth County rat exterminator<\/a> to deal with these pests. Rodents like rats and mice are around a lot due to their appetite. They scavenge trash cans and buildings searching for bits of food to eat. However, many rodents in the wild are actually herbivorous.<\/p>\n

Plant-eating Rodents<\/strong><\/p>\n

Field voles and other rodents<\/a> that are found in the wild have diets that mainly include grasses, moss and other types of vegetation. Squirrels and chipmunks only eat vegetation to some degree, although their diets also include fruits and nuts. Since these rodents don\u2019t typically have an appetite for human food, they\u2019re not as much of a problem as rats and mice when it comes to scavenging garbage and pantries.<\/p>\n

Rat and Mice Diets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rats and mice<\/a> are less selective about what they eat than their plant-eating cousins. These rodents can be found digging through trash bags and scampering through kitchens and pantries searching for crumbs and other scraps of human food to eat. Some of them also eat insects and other critters in addition to people food. If you have mice or rats in your home, keep in mind that they can contaminate your food.<\/p>\n
