Pests, Rodents and Vermin. You’ve probably heard all these terms used to describe unwanted creatures, but do you know the difference between them? Rodents are small mammals with a pointed snout, including mice, rats and squirrels. There are others such as hamsters and porcupines but they are not considered pests. They can be destructive pests in the home. What is Vermin? Vermin is an old term which means rodents or insects that ate crops and were therefore harmful to human activities. It also included larger animals such as bears, foxes, eagles and wolves. In modern times we tend to use the term 'vermin' for anything that we consider to be persistent and detrimental to the way we live. In pest control, we tend to think of vermin like rodents. What is a Pest? Pest is an overall term that is used for any kind of creature that is not wanted in an environment and causes annoyance or damage.
