Many people actually use the generic term "rodent" in order to describe any kind of nuisance critter. I've heard people call raccoon, opossums, even armadillos rodents. While it's true that many members of the
rodent order are pest animals, most are not actually rodents. The most common nuisance animals that are in fact rodents include: mice, rats, squirrels, muskrats, woodchucks, nutria, and beavers.
HOW DO I GET RID OF RODENTS?
As with pretty much all of the nuisance wildlife species discussed on this website, the only sure way to eliminate a problem is through integrated pest management: trapping and removal, and identification and elimination
of attractants. If you've got rodents in the attic, you've got to find out how they're getting in, trap and remove them, and seal shut all of their entry points. Eliminate food sources, habitat, etc.
