Norway rats generally travel up to 100 feet from their nest to their food source. Roof rats
have a wide range, up to 300 feet. The house mouse stays close to its nest, usually traveling
only 30 feet or so to its food source.
Q:
How small of an opening can rats and mice fit through?
A:
Rats can squeeze through a hole about the size of a nickel while mice can fit through a hole
smaller than a dime.
Q:
Are there poisons (baits) available where rodents won’t smell when they die?
A:
NO. Regardless of the bait used, a natural decomposition process always takes place with a
distinctive odor.
Q:
Are there poisons (baits) available that will make rodents go outside looking for water?
A:
Eating bait will not change a rodent’s “normal” water requirements. It is a myth that rodents
will seek water outdoors after eating a bait and then die outdoors. There is adequate water in
your home to meet all rodent needs. If water wasn't available, rodents wouldn't live there.
