Rodents, including rats and mice, are adaptable pests that thrive in various environments, both indoors and outdoors. Their continuously growing incisors allow them to gnaw through wood, plastic, and even electrical wires, causing significant damage. Indoors, rodents prefer dark, secluded areas to build nests using materials like paper, insulation, and fabrics. They often hide in walls, attics, and behind appliances, seeking food sources that can lead to rapid infestations and serious health risks.
