Rodents are small mammals characterized by their continuously growing incisors, which they use for gnawing. Common pest rodents include mice and rats, which are highly adaptable and can thrive in various environments, from urban areas to rural settings. These creatures are known for their rapid reproduction and can pose significant health risks by spreading diseases and causing structural damage.
