One of the most harmful groups of animals to humanity is that of rodents. If they always invite themselves into the places of habitation of humans, it is mainly because of their diet. To combat these rodents, many methods are used. One of them is to prevent these animals from accessing their food. To do this, it is necessary to know the diet of these animals.
Foods that attract rodents
When we talk about harmful rodents in homes, we are often talking about rats and mice. Their incisors are constantly growing. This forces them to gnaw all kinds of objects, including edible and inedible foods (furniture, electrical cables, etc.).
The amount of food that a mouse or rat can eat in a day is up to 20 grams.
These rodents are omnivores. That is to say that they eat everything that humans consume. So you understand that these are not animals with a special diet. They eat both meat and cereals. All these foods are still present in an inhabited house.
Worse, it is very easy for rats and mice to detect the presence of food in a place. The reason is that they have a highly developed sense of smell. They are able to locate food very quickly.
Some foods that rodents like
As previously said rodents are omnivores. However, it is advisable to give yourself some foods that they covet the most.
Plants
All rodents without exception feed on plants. Of course, there are some rodents that prefer certain plants to others. As for the rat and mouse, they eat any plant they find.
Rats and mice nibble on both good weeds and weeds. They also gnaw twigs and large bark. The presence of grasses can therefore attract these rodents. That’s why the Montreal exterminator will remove the herbs in your dealership.
