They buzz around your head and in your ears, driving you crazy in the process. They swarm as soon as the sun dips below the horizon, forcing you indoors.

- RatsRodents fit through very small openings and can gnaw through wood, lead, aluminum, copper, cinder block, and uncured concrete. Mice can squeeze through gaps larger than 5/16 inch, and rats can squeeze through gaps larger than 1/2 inch. They will also enlarge openings that are too small by chewing until the hole is big enough for their body to fit through.
