These incisors are kept filed and sharp primarily by the rodents grinding the incisors against one another, & secondarily by the rodents constantly gnawing on various objects. There are three species of commensal rodents that are of most concern to the pest management professional. 1. The House Mouse 2. The Norway Rat 3. The Roof Rat
