The nature of farming systems developed by man eventually encourage the setting and the proliferation of these animals.

These are the rat (Rattus norvegicus), mouse-to-roof (Rattus norvegicus) and mice (Mus musculus), being considered cosmopolitan occurrence. Historically, the attachment of the man to the ground, creating food surpluses from the advent of agriculture and the development of villages, cities to megacities have created conditions ideal for dinner connection of rodents to man, giving a synanthropy process.
