Rats and mice are considered serious pests to humans as they eat our stored food and leave germs behind. Some rodents are known to carry diseases and can be lethal to humans if they contaminate human's foods or worst bite their victims. They are a pest to humans as they gnaw on almost anything, such as; electrical cables, furniture, clothes, plastic bags, paper boxes and insulation materials. They sometimes cause fire to people's homes and businesses due to their bad behaviour known as gnawing where they chew through electrical wires that cause fire. In Australia there is approximately 60 known native species and they can be found almost anywhere from inside buildings, outdoors, forests and sewer. Rodents eat almost anything ranging from meat, grain, rice, eggs, fruits, vegetables, and pet foods. It is also known that they sometimes feed on their babies if their food source is limited. They are a creature of habits and are extremely sensitive to their surroundings and tend to avoid new objects placed in their territory. Their eyesight is poor but they have highly developed senses of hearing, touch, scent and taste. Rodents are an extremely good climber and swimmer and mice can get into a small hole the size of an Australian's 5 cents coin.
