Most households in rich nations I guess. I haven't ever heard of anyone I personally know that they have a rodent infestation in their home.

Oh, we had. Rats are common in all cities, and mice in the countryside. Sure, nowadays you'd just get an exterminator, but having a cat would prevent that as well. Our dog caught a rat in our basement once, and I'm pretty sure we avoided mice due to her presence as well.
