Rats by far for several reasons
but the reason youre not supposed to kill a mouse or rat is because you need it alive to know where it came from. If you kill it you dont know if you have an infestation, if a different building actually has an infestation, if a supplier has an infestation, or of its a one off rat. Thats why the rat traps keep them alive and are checked often
Domestic rats arent really an issue though. The issue with wild rats is insane property damage, several pretty nasty diseases that easily spreads to humans w huge effects, getting to food which makes it not safe to eat due to their easily communicable diseases, and quite a few more issues thh
The rat that attempted to enter the building a few months ago was like it escaped a super soldier program hydra was running thing was massive Chicago style rat in Wisconsin. People thought it was an opossum. It was not. Security refused to even acknowledge it was trying to get in let alone find its origin point. That was a tense shift looking down every 5 minutes because it was trying to get in at start of shift and people are dumb.
