Rats and Mice
If you have ever seen a rodent scurrying about through your house, but you aren't sure if it's a rat or a mouse, here are some tips to help determine which it is: Rats are MUCH bigger than mice, and if cornered, it may jump and attack to escape. Mice, however, will back into the corner, for they are much more timid. Rats and mice are never in the same area together. The rats would eat the mice if they knew that the mice were probably going to make it harder to find food. So if mice are in the house, rats probably aren't, and vice versa. The best way to get rid of rodents is to eliminate their food source. If they have no food, they will probably move to a different location ( a field , the woods, some other house, etc.) Here is a picture of a rat: And here is one of a mouse: I would much rather have a mouse. Well, that's it. Thanks for reading! ~Sophie Gabrielle
