The Ministry for Primary Industries today announced it was investigating footage showing a mouse running over an uncovered salad at a Christchurch supermarket - just a week after photos of rats in a Dunedin supermarket prompted the shop to shut its doors, with 20 of the rodents found since.
Entomologist Dr Paul Craddock has worked in pest control for over 20 years and joins Emile Donovan to explain what makes mice and rats such undesirable critters.
