What can rodents climb?

Introduction
There are varieties of items in the house or around the house that a mice could hang on to. But the question that we ought to be asking is, can mice really climb? Have you ever wondered how the mice could have possibly gained entry into your house? Your countertops or even your shelves? Personally, it is a question that I have been asking myself a lot lately because rodents seems to be everywhere. In this article here is what we shall be looking for;

• The rodent clawing ability.
• About the claws.
• The materials the rodents could climb. With this, you shall be able to understand how the rats climb some material and how they are able to dominate every corner of your home.

The rodents crawling ability
Rodents can potentially climb anything in reach for anything that they deem worthy. Therefore, their climbing ability is high. They can climb anything that is not sheer surface. These include the glass or a smooth metal. These two items renders them incapable of reaching the highest heights. Therefore, if you have some precious items that you need to protect from the rodents, you need put it somewhere safe, somewhere where the rodents climbing capacity would be limited.

The claws
If you want to understand the rodents climbing abilities, then you need to understand about the claws. The anatomy of the rodents claw will tell you if the rodent is a good climber or not. Most of the rodents, including mice have sharp claws at the end of their dexterous phalanges or simply “fingers”. On each foot, the mice have 5 claws, 4 of these feet are able to grip into the tiny imperfections in the surface to allow them to climb on the vertical surfaces

The materials that the rodents could climb
These are the materials that the mice or simply the rodents could comfortably climb on in the house. So take care;

• Most of the wood surfaces.
• Cardboards.
• Dry walls.
• Some Aluminum siding.
• Brick
• Pvc pipes.
• Concrete.
• Carpets.
• Drain pipes

The list could go endless. There are so many items that they could use to reach where they want to be. Therefore, to protect yourself from the potential damage from these animals, you need to look for the materials that they cannot climb on.

Conclusion
Given that there are so many materials that the animals could use to climb, you need to look for some other methods that will prevent the animals fro come in. otherwise, the animals have so many items that they could use as their pathways.
