How can something as adorable as a little mousie be considered a pest? They're all ears and whiskers! I just wanna scoop 'em up and nuzzle 'em!

I know you know what I'm talking about. Read this article on mouse control to learn all you need to know about avoiding, trapping, and killing mice.
I think rats are kind of cute. In fact, I used to have a pet rat named Justin. Sometimes we'd give him a little chunk of pizza crust and he'd prance around with it in his mouth before eating it.
