What exactly are rodents?

Any little, wild mammal seen roaming around the farm, home, or garden used to be referred to as a “varmint” back in the day.
However, not all varmints are rodents.
Each of their upper and lower jaws contains a pair of incisors. These front teeth are constantly growing making them feel the need to nibble on something to hone them down to a more practical length.
Rodents account for over 40% of all mammalian species, which should give you a sense of how numerous they are.
Rodents can live up to 2 years.

What’s the difference between a rodent, a rat, and a mouse?

Rodents include mice and rats. Although there are hundreds of different kinds of rats and mice.
Rats and mice may look very alike to general people, but they share a number of distinguishing traits. We’re talking about certain physical differences as well as behavioral differences.

The following are some of the more notable differences between rats and mice:

• Rats are more cautious in general, but mice are more curious.
• Mice and rats eat anything, but mice prefer grains, cereals, and vegetables. Rats, on the other hand, will even eat mice if they’re starving.

Why is it necessary to know the difference between rats, mice, and other rodents?

The reason is to be clear about which pest control service you need. What works for rats may not necessarily work for mice or even other rodents for that matter.
squirrel-like rodents are in one category, cavy-like rodents are in another, and rat and mouse-like rodents are in a third. The third category contains more than a quarter of all mammal species. There are about 1,000 species in the Muridae family. Bangladesh has ten rat species and one mouse species.
