Damn rodents! (4)

I believe the answer is:

rats

I believe this is a double definition.

'damn' is the first definition.
(both are expressions of annoyance)

'rodents' is the second definition.
(rat is a kind of rodent)

(Other definitions for rats that I've seen before include "Snoopy's imprecation - vermin" , "Hamelin's pests" , "Heels" , "Treacherous rodents" , "Curse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
