What can Rodents Chew Through?

Olympia rodents come under the category of the mammals. There are about 1500 living species of the rodents that basically came from the central Asia but eventually spread through Europe they have encounter all the continents except Antarctica. Rodents also include the rats, mice, voles and hamsters and many other members. They are usually found in the hot areas and are generally a threat to different kinds of material at home. Moreover, they may case danger to kids.



All the Washington rodents possess the same feature which includes the rootless incisors (the front teeth which are used for chewing and grinding). These incisors have the hard enamel and a softer dentine. Rodents have the single pair the incisors in each jaw and they can grow back throughout their life. Rodents do not have the canines the just have the few molars in each of their jaw. Mostly rodents are herbivorous; some of them are the omnivorous while some of them prey on insects.

They can chew on everything which is no harder than their teeth. To observe and understand more about Olympia rodents and their technique of food intake, a test was conducted to check the hardness of the rodent's teeth. For this Moths scale was developed by a German Mineralogist Friedrich Moth in 1812. This test was basically constructed to analyze the hardness of gemstones or minerals, along with this it is used to estimate the strength of gemstones and minerals if they are rubbed together or scratch against anything. The scale's ranking is from 1 to 10. When the teeth of Washington rodents were used to measure the hardness and softness, it was found to be 5.5 Moths. And so this is the main reason rodents are unstoppable when it comes to chewing things.

Once Washington rodents enters your personal space it won't leave a single space without abolishing it, which can include your food, electrical components even your clothes too. They can enter through any mean by chewing a wood, drywall insulation, cement, plastic, brick, lead cinder blocks and other building material too. Because of having the best incisors they can almost chew through each and everything and this includes the metal as well as the solid concrete but it can take an Olympia rodent long time to chew them and if more than one rodent is involved they can get through it more quickly. The most precious superpower, they have, are their super strong teeth – Incisors.

Rodents can be control by minimizing their entering spots. They do not have the single entry point and they are not very fast enough to enter in a single attempt. So, one should take an immediate action if they find a slightest clue of their presence.
