RODENTS
At first glance, rodents may seem harmless, but once they infiltrate a home or cottage, they can cause significant damage. They contaminate food, damage property, and introduce serious diseases. Rodents are capable of gnawing through electrical cables, which can lead to structural fires. Additionally, they can carry parasites such as fleas, mites, and ticks.

​
Reproductive cycle
The house mouse reaches maturity at around 6 weeks and has a lifespan of about 1 year. During her lifetime, a female can produce up to 8 litters, each containing 5 to 6 young, provided food and shelter are abundant.
​
Habitat
During the summer months, the house mouse may live outdoors, burrowing in concealed areas close to buildings, sidewalks, or in underbrush. As cooler weather approaches, however, it seeks shelter indoors. Mice can be found anywhere from the basement to the attic. They typically nest in spaces between double walls, floor joists, or concealed areas such as cupboards or beneath counters. The nest, usually about 12 cm in diameter, is completely covered, with a small entrance hole on one side. It is constructed from soft materials like shredded cloth or paper. The dominant male typically maintains a territory with several females.
​
Diet
Although the house mouse will eat almost any available food, it prefers cereal grains and seeds. It is a nibbler, eating erratically. The house mouse requires very little water, consuming only about 3 grams of dry food each day. In its search for food, it travels within a limited range of approximately 12 meters, which is roughly the size of 1 or 2 rooms.
​
Ability
The house mouse gnaws its top and bottom front incisors together to keep its teeth sharp. It can gnaw through wood, aluminum, soft mortar, and even asphalt. Additionally, the house mouse is capable of jumping a vertical distance of up to 30 cm, passing through holes as small as 12 mm, and climbing wall studs or other vertical surfaces. With these abilities, it can easily create or find entrances to buildings. As a nocturnal animal, the house mouse has well-developed hearing and tactile receptors, which help it navigate during its nighttime activities.
