Rodents

The Norway rat presents a long, robust physique, with brown fur scattered with black hairs and a distinctly grey to white underside. They are known for their habit of burrowing in soil, frequently establishing nests near riverbeds, in compost heaps, and under dwellings.

Roof Rats, known for their black or brown fur, large ears, and eyes, grow over 40cm long (excluding their tail). They are skilled climbers, often found in ceilings. Females mature quickly (2-5 months) and produce 4-6 litters per year, with 6-8 young per litter.

House mice are notorious pests due to their incredibly rapid reproduction. Females can produce litters of up to twelve offspring every three weeks, and those offspring reach breeding maturity in just one month. This makes them the most prevalent rodent pest!
