Rat Mouse

how can you tell the difference between a baby rat and a mouse?

We recently caught a mouse or what i think is a mouse in our kitchen. But i want to know if this is actually a mouse or a baby rat. It was 2 inches big and brownish black. At night we hear loud scratching in the walls and in our basement there would be a lot of dead crickets lying around. I want to know if thats the work of rats or mice and if there are any signs to tell them apart.

Most likely, it's a mouse. As far as I know, neither mice nor rats kill crickets and leave them lying around. I've had great success with this trap in my house:

I've caught over ten mice with it so far. Yes, it's $12, but it can be used over and over indefinitely. Or, you can try making the free homemade humane trap described here:

If you do live trap mice, please be sure to check the traps several times a day and release the mice promptly, approximately a mile away from your home. It is much more cruel to allow a mouse in a live trap to slowly starve to death than to kill it quickly with a snap trap. Also, if you use the live traps outside, put a little bedding (paper towels or cotton balls) inside the trap so the mice won't freeze to death during the night. When you release the mice, do it in an area with some sheltering bushes or plants. If you are a kind person, you might also leave a little Bird Seed or oatmeal for them.

The absolute cruelest traps are glue traps. Mice have been known to gnaw off their own limbs and tear off their skin in an effort to escape, as they starve or dehydrate to death or suffocate in the glue. Poison isn't any better, as the mice die slowly over a long period of time from internal bleeding.

Good luck!
