A fire station infested with vermin?

Possible.

The rats have been following humans everywhere and anything that can provide shelter and food is a place where these rodents thrive.

But a fire station is a structure which needs to be rodent free to avoid any mishaps that can occur due to the presence of rats.

The rats have two pairs of continuously growing incisors which must be kept sharp by gnawing. For their survival, they gnaw on any surface, may that be polymeric, metallic, wood, concrete, etc. This habit can prove to be extremely costly to the equipment and property owner when the application is damaged by these rats.

Similar occurrences have been documented and are mentioned below:

$16,000 APPROVED TO RID MERRIMACK FIRE STATION OF RODENTS

By Kimberly Houghton Union Leader Correspondent │April 25, 2019

MERRIMACK — A rodent infestation has plagued the Reeds Ferry fire station, with mice and squirrels causing damage to fire equipment stored at the facility.

About $16,000 in pest control efforts are needed to fix the critter problem at the fire station along the Daniel Webster Highway, which has not been manned by firefighters for several years, but is used for storage.

“We had a couple of squirrels that we were trying to get rid of,” said Michael Currier, chief of Merrimack Fire Rescue. “ … Some of the breathing apparatus was chewed by mice.”

Currier said that one mouse found a new home in the mouthpiece of a fire mask, while others chewed through a new engine hose to use its interior material for netting.

Critter Control has assessed the damage and provided a $16,200 quote to eradicate the rodents and fix any possible or potential openings to prevent future problems, according to the chief.

MORE RATS DISCOVERED AT RIVERSIDE SOUTH FIRE STATION

CTV Ottawa │April 11, 2017

Dozens of rats have been found dead inside an Ottawa Fire Station in Riverside South, only a week after the station was shut down because of rat troubles.

As many as 50 rats were discovered at Fire Station 37 on Earl Armstrong Road on Tuesday alone. One photograph sent to CTV News shows 19 rats spread out on the curb outside the building.

Firefighters say they suspect the infestation could involve hundreds of rats. Fire officials say the station may need to be closed again to deal with the infestation.

Rodent infestation at such a crucial place can be extremely dangerous and may even result into hazards and accidents. Hence, few precautions need to be taken in order to avoid any mishaps.

Rodrepel^TM, a product manufactured by C Tech Corporation can be incorporated in various application used at the fire station to make them rodent repellent.

Rodrepel^TM is an extremely low in toxicity, extremely low hazard and environmentally safe rodent aversive repellent specially developed for a range of polymeric and coating applications including wires and cables, polymeric hoses, etc.

Termites have been around for more than 240 million years. Homeowners suffer average $7,900 of damage before realizing they have termites. Termites release an estimated 176 billion pounds of “greenhouse gas” per year. Termites not only damage woods but now they are also damaging wires and cables

Generally, termites live in trees, lumber, soil, and wooden structures.

The diet of the termites is made of organic fiber, cellulose, plants like grass etc. The cellulose is the one which provides the termites with nutrients which they need to survive since they cannot digest the cellulose directly; therefore, they have other microorganisms like the protozoans and bacteria in their stomach which helps them to break the cellulose so that it can be digested by their metabolism.

Do termites get attracted to wood?

Yes, termites get attracted to wood they eat wood in houses, utility poles, furniture, dying trees etc.

Since wood is difficult to consume and digest, termites are equipped with special mouthparts for chewing wood and other forms of cellulose which cannot be digested directly.

In many numbers of cases termites invasion cannot be noticed, once the colonies are built up then termites can stay for a long period of time without being noticed.

The evidence for termite damage is reported below.

Call Collett: Termites infest Hanahan home
Posted: Jun 14, 2018, 08:05 AM EDT

Termites infested the family’s Hanahan home two years ago.  With the siding off to investigate, termites were found in walls, the floor, the windows, in the master bedroom and bathroom.

There were remnants on the front stairs. The Woods expected Arrow to cover the fix since their contract with them covers up to $250,000 in repairs.

After a survey, BMC gets cracking on Bandra’s termite-infested
TNN | Jun 16, 2018, 05:50 IST

MUMBAI: Barely three days after TOI reported how a survey by residents of Bandra’s Mount Mary Road found 49 of 189 trees along their road infested with termites, BMC sent a team on Friday morning to inspect and begin treating them. Residents said the spraying of chemicals around the base where termites were spotted was a relief as they feared the trees would crash. In the past week, one person died while another was injured in tree crashes.

Maria D’Souza, the chairperson of Mount Mary Kane Road advanced locality management (ALM), said it was heartening to see officials take action. “The H westward team cut branches officials take action. “The H westward team cut branches of trees naturally dead and inspected others. Chemical treatment was also given where required,” she said.

‘Super termites’ have moved into the Midlands. They can eat your home 10 times faster
Updated: July 12, 2018, 12:14 PM

The dreaded “super termite” has come to the Midlands.

Rodney Dorn of Columbia-based Modern Exterminating was inspecting a Lexington County house in June when he came across a colony of termites that were different than those native to the area. He took a sample to Dr. Eric Benson, an entomology professor at Clemson, and Benson confirmed it was a Formosan subterranean termite — colloquially referred to as a “super termite.”

Super termites earn their nickname by aggressively eating through the wood. In under a month, a colony can chew through a foot-long 2X4, according to an article from Pestworld.org.

“They eat about 10 times faster than our eastern subterranean termite (which is) what we have here,” said Modern Exterminating owner Glenn Matthews.

While termites native to the Midlands often have colonies in the thousands, super termites have colonies in the millions, according to an article from the University of Florida. Super termites, which can burrow underground 300 feet from a hive, are also exceptionally difficult to kill.

Super termites are an invasive species from Asia that were introduced into America in the 1950s, most likely after military hardware — such as wooden pallets infected with Formosan termites — returned home from the Korean War, Benson said.

As termites are resistance to pesticides, they do not get affected by the pesticides.

In order to keep the termites away we do require a strong result and for this, our product  Combirepel™ manufactured by C Tech Corporation is an anti-insect aversive which repels insects.

Combirepel™ works on the mechanism of repellency. It temporarily inhibits the mating cycle of the insects. The product impairs the ability of the insects to reproduce, that is the insects will not lay eggs or the laid eggs will be infertile. The product causes feeding disruption in an insect by triggering an unpleasant reaction within the insect which might try to feed on the application.

The product temporarily blocks the reproduction system of the insects by hindering the release of the vital hormones for growth.

Combirepel™ is an extremely low concern, low toxic, nonhazardous, non-carcinogenic and non-mutagenic insect aversive. It does not kill or cause harm to insects as well as to the environment which indirectly helps to maintain the ecological balance.

 Combirepel™ is available in the form of the liquid concentrate can be mixed with paints and organic solvent in a predetermined ratio and be applied on the storage area, ceiling, panels exterior and interior of the wall as to be protected from termites.

Our product in the lacquer form can be applied topically to the applications. The lacquer is compatible with the surfaces wood, concrete, metal, polymer, ceramic, cables, wires which are already installed etc.

Our product in the form of the masterbatch, which can be incorporated into the polymeric applications like polymeric tree guards, pipes, wires, cables, polymeric material, instruments and equipment’s which are attacked by termites.

Combirepel™ is thermally stable and does not degrade on exposure to heat and sunlight. It does not kill or harm the insect but repels them. It does not volatilize and does not degrade the soil. It is RoHS, RoHS2, ISO, REACH, APVMA, BPR, NEA compliant and FIFRA exempted.

Squirrels, the cute, nut-eating, scurrying little playful rodents, are surely nice to watch for a laugh. However, they have been proven to be extremely destructive towards so many human applications. They are tiny and look harmless to us, but the havoc they wreck is massive logistically and thus financially.

Electrical disruptions caused by squirrels are common and widespread and can involve the disruption of power grids. Blackouts are happening and power grids are being shut down across the world. From Europe to America, and across Asia and Africa, we’re losing the cyberwar. But the enemy is not who you might think, it has been supposed that the threat to the internet, infrastructure, and services posed by squirrels may exceed that posed by terrorists.

Squirrels damage electrical distribution facilities by tunneling, by chewing through electrical insulation, or by simultaneously coming into contact with two conductors at different electrical potentials.

Squirrels of the order ‘Rodentia’, have four teeth in the front of their mouth that constantly grow throughout their lives. This ensures that their teeth don’t wear down to nubs from gnawing on nuts and other objects.

More than 200 different species of squirrels are known to be living across the world. Among the most prominent ones recorded to be living in the United States region are Grey Squirrel, Fox Squirrel, Red Squirrel, Ground Squirrel and Flying Squirrel.

Military installations depend on fail proof fiber optic connectivity and power connectivity, with crucial control cables and electrical wires to land based high speed reliable networks. But these furry creatures can bring everything to a standstill by knocking out key communications in a matter of seconds.

Power outages due to squirrels damaging cables occur so often that it has been ranked the third most common reason in the Washington area surpassing damage due to storms. They nibble and erode power grids that have been set-up, causing electricity failures in the entire region, where the grid supplies. This has been declared a national problem in the US because of the frequent occurring.  

Squirrel-caused power outages represent a substantial problem as indicated by outage repair costs and by the proportion of outages caused by squirrels. Few of the incidences are cited below:

Squirrel ‘threat’ to critical infrastructure

BBC News | January 17, 2017

The real threat to global critical infrastructure is not enemy states or organizations but squirrels, according to one security expert. Cris Thomas has been tracking power cuts caused by animals since 2013. Squirrels, birds, rats, and snakes have been responsible for more than 1,700 power cuts affecting nearly 5 million people, he told a security conference.

He explained that by tracking these issues, he was seeking to dispel the hype around cyber-attacks.

His Cyber Squirrel 1 project was set up to counteract what he called the “ludicrousness of cyber-war claims by people at high levels in government and industry”, he told the audience at the Shmoocon security conference in Washington.

Squirrels topped the list with 879 “attacks”, followed by:

• birds – 434
• snakes – 83
• raccoons – 72
• rats – 36
• martens – 22
• frogs – three

He concludes that the damage done by real cyber-attacks – Stuxnet’s destruction of Iranian uranium enrichment centrifuges and disruption to Ukrainian power plants being the most high profile – was tiny compared to the “cyber-threat” posed by animals. Most of the animal “attacks” were on power cables but Mr. Thomas also discovered that jellyfish had shut down a Swedish nuclear power plant in 2013, by clogging the pipes that carry cool water to the turbines. He also discovered that there have been eight deaths attributed to animal attacks on infrastructure, including six caused by squirrels downing power lines that then struck people on the ground.

The point, of course, is not that we should declare war on rodents, but to find ways on coexisting with these creatures which are equally important for the nature while paving the way for development.

The common methods to repel those creatures are Trapping and Culling. Traps can cause injury to the squirrels and they might try to escape if it is open by mistake. Wire guards are used but they come with their own limitations. Squirrel guards are used to block a squirrel from climbing up the utility poles, although, squirrel guards reduce damage at transformers, they do not eliminate it, and the costs of guard installation on all transformers may be prohibitive for some companies. Employing traps and glue boards for trapping squirrels and then releasing them in the wild are also not fool-proof. They always find a way to come back.

What can be the effective steps taken to keep them away from the applications? Do we have anything reliable for avoiding the mishaps and incidences of outages?

Well, C Tech Corporation, an Indian company can offer a solution to overcome the damage caused by squirrels. Rodrepel^TM  is an anti-rodent and animal aversive repellent which is extremely low in toxicity and extremely low hazard, environmentally safe solution. It is engineered using a unique set of complex compounds. It follows 6 pronged strategies which are extremely effective on rodents like the squirrel, rat, beaver, gopher, marmot, etc.

Rodrepel^TM is available in the form of a masterbatch, liquid concentrate, lacquer, wood polish additives and sprays.

The masterbatch can be incorporated in cable sheathing thereby making it rodent resistant. The product in the form of liquid concentrate can be diluted in paints and organic solvents and applied to cables. The lacquer which is a topical application that can be directly applied on the already installed wires and cables, cabinets and transformer boxes. The wood polish additives can be mixed with the wood polish and applied on wooden surfaces.

The Rodrepel™ Rodent Repellent Spray is an easy to use product that can be sprayed on wires and cables, electronic appliances, cabinets, so as to as avoid the rodents from entering them.

Rodrepel^TM  is cost-effective, inert, and thermally stable and does not degrade on exposure to heat and sunlight. It is RoHS, RoHS2, RoHS3, REACH, NEA, EU BPR, APVMA compliant and FIFRA exempted.

One little bear
Wondering what to do
Along came another
Then there were two!

You never know when a couple of these wondering animals end up doing dreadful things!

Recently these bears were just wandering and they ended up visiting a pizza store in Colorado on a pizza eating spree, gobbling up the dough in the fridge before moving on to the salami.

These bears can be dangerous when around humans and pets!

Bears come in many different colors, shape, and sizes and they live all over the world, except Antarctica and Australia.  Their habitats range from the snowy northern tundra to dense rainforests and high mountains.  Most species of bears live to around 25 years of age. There are eight different species of bears.  They are Asiatic, Black, Brown, Polar, Panda, Sloth, Spectacled and Sun. Some of these species have a few sub-species.

Common characteristics of modern bears include large bodies with stocky legs, long snouts, small rounded ears, shaggy hair; plant grade paws with five non-retractile claws, and short tails. While the polar bear is mostly carnivorous, and the giant panda feeds almost entirely on bamboo, the remaining six species are omnivorous with varied diets. With the exception of courting individuals and mothers with their young, bears are typically solitary animals.

As scavengers, bears will go through garbage cans and are often spotted at garbage dumps and campsites.  Insects, nuts, berries, sap, branches, and roots are a big part of a bear’s diet. Adults are solitary and usually avoid contact with humans; however, they may attack if starving or to protect cubs. Bears are large and can be quite intimidating so they don’t have many enemies.  Their biggest enemies are humans and each other.

Although clumsy in appearance, bears can move surprisingly fast, even through dense cover that would seriously impede a human or a horse.

If captured when young, bears can be tamed quite easily and are commonly used in circus animal acts. This has often caused people to consider bears as tame and harmless rather than as potentially dangerous creatures deserving wariness and respect. This mistake has frequently resulted in tragedy for both humans and bears.

Such tragedies are documented below illustrates that the presence of bears is intolerable.

Bears Caught On Video In Estes Park Pizzaria: Owners Beg Police To Spare Them

By Jean Lotus (Patch Staff) – Updated Oct 10, 2017 – Across Colorado Patch

Mama bear opens fridge and pulls out a tray of pizza dough balls for baby to feast on, then opens cabinet storing salami.
A mama black bear and two cubs were caught pawing through pizza dough on overnight surveillance video at Antonio’s Real New York Pizza in Estes Park Oct. 8. The restaurant’s owners posted the black and white video on Facebook Sunday with a note begging the Estes Park Police Dept. and Colorado Parks and Wildlife not to euthanize the animals.

“All they want is calories with which to hibernate,” owner Antonio DeSousa wrote. “We have to come up with a better set of deterrents than creating rules which ensure their euthanization based on the need to eat.”

Western Towns Try to Stop Hungry Bears from Causing Havoc

– Huffpost

In bear country, cities and counties are trying to keep bears out of town by adopting ordinances that require residents to keep their trash secure.

BOULDER, Colo. — On a recent morning that was chilly with the first nip of fall, Brenda Lee went looking for knocked-over trash cans. She drove her car slowly through alleyways on the west side of this Colorado city, close to where streets end and the Rocky Mountains begin. The damage wasn’t hard to find.

On every block, it seemed, at least one trash can was lying on its side, spewing its contents into the street. The mess was a telltale sign that a black bear had toppled the can and clawed through the garbage looking for scraps.

Conflicts between humans and bears are increasing here and across the Western U.S. as more people move to and vacation in bear country. Climate change could make the situation worse by disrupting bear habitat.

Somehow the nuisance caused by bears needs to be stopped.

But how?

C Tech Corporation has got a solution to keep bears away from human dwellings.

Combirepel™ is an extremely low toxic and low hazard rodent aversive.

Combirepel™ is a perfect blend of smart technology and green chemistry. This product helps to keep the bears away from the application. The product is compliant with RoHS, RoHS 2, REACH and is FIFRA exempted. Our eco-friendly products do not kill the target species but only repel them.

Pesticides are chemical substances used to control pests, including insects, weeds, and fungi. While they serve an essential purpose in agriculture and pest management, their widespread use has raised serious concerns about the unintended consequences on wildlife, particularly birds. In this article, we delve into the relationship between pesticides and bird deaths, highlighting the importance of incorporating sustainable solutions for a healthier environment.

Pesticides can have detrimental effects on birds, leading to their deaths in several ways:

• Direct toxicity: Many pesticides, such as organophosphates and carbamates, are highly toxic to birds. Birds may consume contaminated seeds, insects, or vegetation treated with pesticides, leading to acute poisoning and death.

• Secondary poisoning: Birds that feed on insects, rodents, or other small animals affected by pesticides can be exposed to these chemicals indirectly. If the prey animals have ingested pesticides, they become toxic themselves, and when birds consume them, they can suffer from poisoning.

• Reduced food availability: Pesticides can harm the populations of insects, seeds, or other food sources that birds rely on. For example, the use of broad-spectrum insecticides can kill off beneficial insects, leading to a decline in the bird’s food supply. This reduction in food availability can weaken birds and make them more susceptible to diseases and predation.

• Habitat destruction: Certain pesticides, like herbicides, can have unintended impacts on bird habitats. Herbicides are often used to eliminate weeds or unwanted vegetation, but in doing so, they can remove essential nesting sites, cover, or food sources for birds. This disruption in their habitat can lead to a decline in bird populations or even local extinctions.

• Behavioral changes: Pesticide exposure can cause neurological effects in birds, altering their behavior and impairing their ability to forage, navigate, or reproduce effectively. Disorientation, decreased reproductive success, and reduced ability to find food and shelter can all contribute to increased bird mortality.

Let’s have a look at some alarming statistics that have been reported;

Global bird populations have plummeted 30% and pesticides are one of the culprits.

By Brian Moench | Special to The Tribune | May 2, 2023

Spring is finally arriving in Utah, and with it the smell of blossoms, cut grass and, unfortunately … chemicals. I was 12 years old when my father handed me the only book he ever gave me — “Silent Spring,” Rachael Carson’s chilling indictment of pesticides, widely regarded as the most important environmental book of the 20th century. The book turned environmental consciousness in America into a political force, leading to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and our bedrock environmental laws.

Sixty years later, the message of “Silent Spring” is falling on deaf ears. Global bird populations have plummeted 30% and pesticides are one of the culprits. Humans are now exposed to about 100 times more toxic chemicals than when the book was published. Air currents carry pesticides across state lines and across continents. From the top of Mt. Everest to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, pesticides are now detectable in just about every square inch of Earth, and every square inch of every human body on Earth. The average person now excretes over 4,000 industrial chemicals in their urine, and many of the most toxic are pesticide ingredients.

Insecticide blamed for the deaths of 200 native birds, including wedge-tailed eagles

An insecticide is likely to be behind the deaths of almost 200 native birds in northeast Victoria, environment officials believe.

After dead wedge-tailed eagles were found near Violet Town in August the state’s environment department found more – along with hawks and falcons – on a nearby property.

They have since found up to 200 dead native birds in the area, including 25 wedge-tailed eagles.

Tests on six eagles have detected an insecticide used to control mites.

The same agricultural chemical has been found in the carcasses of animals suspected of being used as bait. The department believes it may have caused all the bird deaths.

To mitigate the harmful effects of pesticides on birds, proper pesticide management practices, such as targeted application, alternative pest control methods, and protecting bird habitats, are crucial.

The unique products, Rodrepel™, Termirepel™, and Combirepel^TM manufactured by C Tech Corporation are an excellent alternative and need of the hour for reducing pesticide and rodenticide usage.

Rodrepel™ is a rodent aversive; Termirepel™ is a termite and insect aversive; and Combirepel™ is a combination of both.

Rodrepel™ triggers a fear response in rodents thus protecting the application. It causes severe temporary distress to the mucous membrane of the rodents due to which the pest stays away from the application. The product triggers an unpleasant reaction in case if the pest tries to gnaw away the application. After encountering the above-mentioned emotions, the animal instinctively perceives it as something it should stay away from and stores this information for future reference. The fact that certain rodents are repelled is mimicked by other rodents as well. Thus, the other rodents too stay away from the applications. The unpleasant experience is imprinted within the animal’s memory and passed on to its progeny.

Termirepel^TM is made with a mechanism such that, the product temporarily blocks the mating cycle of these insects and causes feeding disruption by creating discomfort within the insects. The product weakens the ability of insects to reproduce which means, female insects will not lay eggs and laid eggs will be infertile. The product disturbs the release of vital hormones which are essential for insects to grow. 

All these products are extremely low concern, low toxic, low hazard, non-carcinogenic, and non-mutagenic pest aversives. They do not kill or cause harm to the pests as well as to the environment which indirectly helps to maintain the ecological balance.

The products are available in the form of the masterbatch, which can be incorporated into polymeric applications like pipes, agriculture mulch films, floating row covers, greenhouse films, etc. to make the end application pest repellent.

The product available in the form of liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints in a predetermined ratio and be applied to the walls, indoors, as well as outdoors to keep the pests away from these places.

Our product in the lacquer form can be applied topically on the applications. The lacquer is compatible with most surfaces like wood, concrete, metal, polymer, ceramic, etc. The lacquer can be applied on the already installed pipes in the fields or garden, fences around farms and gardens, and walls of warehouses and other properties, thus protecting it from damage.

Our easy-to-use spray products are Rodrepel^TM rodent repellent spray , Termirepel^TM insect repellent spray, Combirepel^TM pest repellent spray which can be sprayed on areas susceptible to infestation.

Another issue that can be addressed is the perching and roosting of birds near our properties. We have Bye-Bye Birdy bird repellent spray that is very user-friendly and convenient for application. You just have to spray it on bird perching and roosting areas like the beams, trusses, structures, AC outdoor units, etc. to keep the birds away.

Our products provide a safe and environmentally friendly solution to prevent pest infestations.

As the detrimental effects of pesticides on bird populations become increasingly apparent, it is crucial to prioritize sustainable pest management practices. By raising awareness, promoting research, and implementing effective policies and products, we can work towards a future where birds thrive alongside agricultural practices.

Pests are unwelcome visitors in any environment, and schools are no exception. Managing pest infestations in schools is essential for maintaining a clean and healthy learning environment. Pests can carry diseases, cause allergies, and damage school property, making it necessary to take preventive measures against them.

Rodent infestations can be a significant problem in schools, posing health risks to students and staff and causing damage to school facilities. Schools provide an ideal environment for rodents, with plenty of food sources, shelter, and hiding places. Similarly, insects like cockroaches, flies, and ants can be found on school premises. In this blog, we will discuss some strategies for managing these pest infestations in schools.

Conduct regular inspections:

Regular inspections should be conducted to identify pest problems early. This includes checking for signs of pests such as droppings, gnaw marks, and holes in walls and floors.

Identify the Source of Infestation:

The first step in managing a rodent infestation is to identify the source. Inspect the school premises, paying particular attention to areas where food is stored or prepared, such as kitchens and cafeterias. Look for signs of rodent activity, such as droppings, gnaw marks, and nests. Once you have identified the source of the infestation, take steps to eliminate it. Using screens on windows and doors can help prevent insects from entering the building.

Prevent Entry:

Prevention is key to managing rodent infestations. Seal any holes or cracks in walls, floors, and ceilings to prevent rodents from entering the building. Ensure that all doors and windows are properly fitted and that screens are in good repair. Remove any clutter, debris, and vegetation from the exterior of the building, which can provide hiding places for rodents and other pests.

Implement Sanitation Measures:

Rodents thrive in unsanitary conditions. Implement sanitation measures, such as cleaning up spills immediately, removing garbage regularly, and storing food in rodent-proof containers. Ensure that all food preparation areas are thoroughly cleaned after use. Establish a regular cleaning schedule and assign responsibilities to staff and students.

Seek Professional Help:

If the infestation is severe, it may be necessary to seek professional help. Pest control professionals have the expertise and tools to manage rodent infestations safely and effectively. Ensure that the pest control company you choose is licensed and uses environmentally friendly and safe methods of pest control.

Rats, roaches, mice, flies found in hundreds of NYC school cafeterias

By Jacob Geanous and Georgia Worrell

April 1, 2023

One out of every five New York City public school cafeterias are crawling with bugs, rodents — or both — repulsive new stats reviewed by The Post reveal.

Health inspectors discovered roaches, mice, rats, and flies in nearly 400 public school cafeterias over the last three years, recently released city Health Department data shows. 

The figures also reveal that 1,380 of the city’s 1,859 public schools — about 75% — have been cited by the agency since 2020.

The violations include 1,072 deemed critical —  conditions most likely to cause foodborne illnesses — in at least 620 different public schools.

The revolting violations include:

• Filth flies — several fly species which breed in garbage or feces — or evidence of them in more than 100 schools
• Mice, or evidence of mice, found in more than 300 school cafeterias.
• At least 46 times in which cold food, including meat and dairy, was not kept below 41 degrees. Anything above 40 degrees for cold food is considered the “danger zone” by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which is when bacteria including salmonella or e coli begins to grow. 
• Live cockroaches were also found in 80 school cafeterias. 

The cafeteria in PS/IS 208 in Glen Oaks, Queens, racked up the most violations since 2020, with 16 citations for issues including mice, flies, and not having a hand washing station, according to DOH. 

“Sometimes it smells bad…sometimes there’s flies,” one seventh grader said alongside her mother. “It’s definitely gross.”

“I saw a mouse last week near the back right corner [of the cafeteria.] It was kind of crazy,” said another seventh grader.

Big pest problem: St Andrew’s Anglican School closed 2 more weeks

KINNESHA GEORGE

28 February 2023

The doors of the St Andrew’s Anglican Primary School, Calder Hall,  will remain closed for another two weeks.

A press release on Sunday evening from the THA Division of Education, Research and Technology gave stakeholders an update on the school, which was scheduled to reopen on Monday after being closed on February 17.

The release said health and safety concerns at the school are still being addressed by the division.

Speaking with Newsday, TT Unified Teachers Association (TTUTA) Tobago officer Bradon Roberts supported the continued closure. In a previous interview, Roberts said the disruption was necessary as a rat infestation was detected “a couple of weeks ago by the staff.”

The usage of rodenticides, insecticides, and pesticides is dangerous for students. The use of pesticides has hampered the neurological development of children. There is evidence for children and others who have been poisoned accidentally consuming pesticides.

We at C Tech Corporation are in a unique position to provide solutions to the problems caused by these creatures.

At C Tech Corporation we make use of Mother Nature’s gift of senses given to these rodents in developing extremely low toxicity and extremely low hazard formulation products!

We have Rodrepel™, our rodent aversive; Termirepel™, our termite and insect aversive; and Combirepel™, which is a combination of both.

Our products are a perfect blend of smart technology and green chemistry. The products act through a series of highly developed intricate mechanisms ensuring that the rodents and insects are kept away from the application.

Rodrepel™ triggers a fear response in rodents thus protecting the application. It causes severe temporary distress to the mucous membrane of the rodents due to which the pest stays away from the application. The product triggers an unpleasant reaction in case if the pest tries to gnaw away the application. After encountering the above-mentioned emotions, the animal instinctively perceives it as something it should stay away from and stores this information for future reference. The fact that certain rodents are repelled is mimicked by other rodents as well. Thus, the other rodents too stay away from the applications. The unpleasant experience is imprinted within the animal’s memory and passed on to its progeny.

Termirepel^TM is made with a mechanism such that, the product temporarily blocks the mating cycle of these insects and causes feeding disruption by creating discomfort within the insects. The product weakens the ability of insects to reproduce which means, female insects will not lay eggs and laid eggs will be infertile. The product disturbs the release of vital hormones which are essential for insects to grow. 

The product is compliant with RoHS, RoHS2, RoHS3, and REACH, APVM, NEA, EU BPR and is FIFRA exempted. Our eco-friendly products do not kill the target species but only repel them.

The liquid concentrate, when diluted in paints, can be used to paint the interior and exterior of the walls of the schools. It can be applied in the canteen and food storage areas in schools.

The direct application lacquer can be coated topically over the applications which need protection. It can be applied to a variety of surfaces like wood, furniture, concrete, metal, polymer, and ceramic. The desks, benches, and furniture from the schools can be applied with our lacquer to protect these applications from pest attacks.

Our product available in the form of wood polish additive can be applied as a topical application by mixing it with wood polish. It can also be applied to racks, pallets, furniture, etc.

The product available in the form of a masterbatch can be incorporated into pipes, wires, cables, polymeric material, instruments, etc.

Our easy-to-use spray products are Rodrepel^TM rodent repellent spray , Termirepel^TM insect repellent spray, Combirepel^TM pest repellent spray that can be sprayed on the bench, chairs, racks, wooden furniture, etc.

Another issue that can be addressed is the bird menace on school premises. We have Bye-Bye Birdy bird repellent spray that is very user-friendly and convenient for application. You just have to spray it on bird perching and roosting areas like the beams, trusses, structures, AC outdoor units, etc. to keep the birds away.

Our products provide a safe and environmentally friendly solution to avoid rodent infestation.

In conclusion, managing a rodent infestation in a school requires a proactive approach that involves identifying the source of the infestation, preventing entry, implementing sanitation measures, using traps and baits, and seeking professional help if necessary. By using our products, schools can ensure the safety and well-being of their students and staff and protect their facilities from damage caused by rodents.

A bird infestation can be a problem when a large number of birds gather in or around a property, causing damage or creating a health hazard. Some common types of birds that can cause infestations include pigeons, starlings, sparrows, and seagulls.

Bird infestations can cause a range of problems, including:

1. Property damage: Birds can damage property by pecking at wood, roofing, and siding. They can also clog gutters and drains with their nests and droppings.
2. Health hazards: Bird droppings can contain harmful bacteria and fungi that can cause diseases such as histoplasmosis and salmonella. In addition, bird feathers and droppings can trigger allergies and respiratory problems.
3. Noise pollution: Large flocks of birds can create a lot of noise, especially early in the morning or late at night, which can disturb sleep and cause stress.

Bird infestations can also cause damage to heritage sites, such as historic buildings, monuments, and archaeological sites. For example, the acidic nature of bird droppings can erode stonework, corrode metal, and discolor or damage painted surfaces. In addition, bird nests can block gutters and drains, leading to water damage and mold growth.

When dealing with bird infestations at heritage sites, it is important to take a careful and measured approach to avoid causing additional damage. Here are some steps that can be taken:

1. Conduct an assessment: A thorough assessment of the site should be conducted to determine the extent of the bird infestation and the damage that has already been caused.
2. Develop a management plan: Based on the assessment, a management plan should be developed that outlines the most appropriate and effective methods for controlling the bird infestation while minimizing damage to the heritage site.
3. Consider non-lethal methods: Use nontoxic bird repellent products.
4. Consult with experts: It is important to consult with experts in bird control and heritage site preservation to ensure that the methods used are safe and effective for both the birds and the site.
5. Regular maintenance: Regular maintenance and monitoring of the site should be carried out to ensure that any new bird infestations are identified and addressed promptly.
6. Habitat modification: Removing food and water sources, trimming trees, and sealing entry points can make an area less attractive to birds.

Pigeon poop is damaging the historic Samson V in New West

How are pigeon droppings damaging the Samson V museum?

Theresa McManus
Feb 24, 2023 

Pigeon poop is making a mess of the roof of the Samson V.

The City of New Westminster’s draft five-year capital plan includes $60,000 in 2023 for repairs to the vessel – in part to repair damage caused by pigeon droppings. Located on the city’s waterfront next to the Inn at the Quay and River Market, the Samson V was the last steam-powered sternwheeler to operate in Canada.

Rob McCullough, the city’s manager of museums and heritage services, said the $60,000 is for doing some repair work to the Samson V’s roof, so the city can avoid having any leaks and avoid further damage.

“The pigeon problems that we’ve had on there were due to rotting of the canvas roofing that is on there right now,” he told council at a recent budget workshop. “I’m looking into a different type of product that is no longer canvas that won’t respond or react to the pigeon droppings in the same way.”

Qutub Minar is under renovation and bird excreta is the reason for the damage

New Delhi, UPDATED: Jul 2, 2018

Delhi’s Qutub Minar is under renovation after 50 years owing to the damage caused by bird excreta. Bats enter inside the cracks of old Sal wood doors and window panels.

By India Today Web Desk: Qutub Minar is under renovation after 50 years owing to the damage caused by bird excreta.

Bat poop and bird droppings are spelling nightmare for the centuries-old Qutub Minar in Delhi, following which the ASI has started work on replacing its old wooden doors and windows, a senior official said today.

The work will be completed by this month’s end.

If you have a bird infestation, it is important to address the problem as soon as possible.

Combirepel™ is a rodent, insect, and bird aversive repellent developed by C Tech Corporation for a variety of applications.

C Tech Corporation became the world’s first organization to receive approval for our biocidal product families under the EU-BPR (European Union Biocide Product Regulation).

Combirepel^TM is engineered using a unique set of complex compounds that works on a repellency mechanism. It is extremely low-toxic, extremely low-hazardous, and eco-friendly and keeps birds away without killing them thus; maintains the balance of our ecosystem.

Combirepel™ Bird Repellent Gel Lacquer is designed to keep birds at bay. This product is developed solely to keep birds from perching and roosting.

It is available in the form of lacquer and works on the principle of tactile repellence. Some birds use their sense of smell to determine whether the substance is dangerous or not. Repellent induces a physiological reaction in the birds, which they equate with a sensory cue and learn to avoid. As a result, their infestation is minimized, and harm is prevented.

The gel lacquer is compatible with most of the surfaces and is easy to apply. Also, it can be directly applied to areas prone to bird roosting.  

Our Bye-Bye Birdy bird repellent spray is very user-friendly and convenient for application.

Thus using the bird’s sensory mechanism we can get rid of them without causing them any harm.

Our products are RoHS, RoHS2, RoHS3, EU – BPR, REACH, APVMA, NEA compliant and FIFRA exempted.

By taking a careful and considered approach to bird infestations at heritage sites, it is possible to control the problem while preserving the integrity of these important cultural resources.

Contact us at technical.marketing@ctechcorporation.com to keep the birds away.

Pest infestations are a common problem in restaurants and can cause significant health risks to both customers and employees. This issue can result in reputational damage, loss of customers, and legal consequences if it is not managed properly.

In this blog post, we’ll discuss some of the common pests that can infest restaurants, the risks they pose, and steps that can be taken to prevent and address infestations.

Common pests in restaurants

There are several types of pests that can infest restaurants, including:

1. Cockroaches: These insects are attracted to warm, moist environments and can be found in areas such as kitchens, pantries, and storage rooms. They can contaminate food and surfaces with bacteria and pathogens, and can cause allergies and asthma in some people.
2. Rodents: Mice and rats are attracted to food sources and can be found in kitchens, storage rooms, and other areas where food is stored. They can contaminate food and surfaces with their urine and faeces, and can transmit diseases such as salmonella and hantavirus.
3. Flies: Flies are attracted to food and can be found in areas such as dining rooms, kitchens, and garbage areas. They can spread bacteria and pathogens and can contaminate food and surfaces with their faeces.

Health risks of pest infestations

Pest infestations in restaurants can pose several health risks, including:

1. Food poisoning: Pests can contaminate food and surfaces with bacteria and pathogens, causing food poisoning and other illnesses.
2. Allergic reactions: Some pests, such as cockroaches, can trigger allergies and asthma in some people.
3. Disease transmission: Rodents and other pests can transmit diseases such as salmonella, hantavirus, and the bubonic plague.
4. Reputation damage: A pest infestation can damage a restaurant’s reputation and lead to negative reviews and decreased business.
5. Legal repercussions: Restaurants can be fined or even shut down if they fail to comply with health and safety regulations regarding pest infestations.

Steps to prevent and address pest infestations

There are several steps that can be taken to prevent and address pest infestations in restaurants, including:

1. Regular inspections: Restaurants should have regular inspections by licensed pest control professionals to identify and address any signs of infestation.
2. Maintain cleanliness: Keep the restaurant clean and free of debris, food scraps, and standing water. Make sure that garbage is disposed off properly and regularly.
3. Train staff: Train staff to be vigilant and report any signs of pest activity immediately.
4. Seal entry points: Seal all entry points where pests may enter, such as gaps around doors and windows, and cracks in walls.
5. Store food properly: Store food in sealed containers and off the floor to prevent pests from accessing it.
6. Pest control methods: If a pest infestation is identified, take immediate action to address the issue, and control pest populations. We will be discussing some nontoxic methods to deal with pest infestations in this blog post.

COCKROACHES RESPONSIBLE FOR ALMOST HALF OF OC RESTAURANT CLOSURES OVER PAST 5 YEARS – ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

By Chris Krogh Last updated Mar 4, 2023

Cockroaches and rodent infestations were the top two causes for temporary restaurant closures across Orange County over the past five years.

The amount of inspections a restaurant will require per year depends on the risk of a foodborne illness. The more complex the food preparation and food service is, the more inspections there will be, with as many as three inspections a year.

From 2017 through mid-December 2022, the Orange County Health Agency conducted almost 117,000 inspections resulting in slightly more than 3,000 closures. Of those closures, 47.8% cited cockroach infestations, according to data obtained by the Orange County Register through a public records request.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which essentially halted in-person services for a period of time, substantially decreased the number of total health inspections. The average number of total inspections from 2017 to 2019 was just above 22,000 which dropped to just under 17,000 from 2020 to 2022 as the restaurant and food service industry continues to recover.

And yet, cockroaches remained responsible for roughly 44% to 50% of closures over the five-year period.

Cockroaches by nature are nocturnal, like confined spaces and feed on anything that humans also eat, making restaurants a haven.

But the cockroach problem is largely preventable, said UC Davis Professor of Entomology and Director of The Bohart Museum of Entomology Lynn Kemsey.

“The problem in public spaces like restaurants, they’re attracted to the bathrooms because of the water as well as the kitchens so you’ve got them carrying bacteria from the bathrooms into the kitchens and vice versa,” Kemsey said.

The solution comes down to simply keeping the restaurant and its surrounding areas (like if the trash bin behind the restaurant) clean.

RAT FAECES, COCKROACHES: SIX KK WATERFRONT PREMISES ORDERED CLOSED FOR TWO WEEKS

Published on: Friday, February 24, 2023

By: Jonathan Nicholas

KOTA KINABALU: Six premises at the popular Waterfront nightspot here were ordered closed for two weeks after rats and cockroaches were found scurrying the kitchen and storerooms on Thursday evening.

Routine inspections carried out by the Sabah Health Department (SHD) on some 21 bars and restaurants saw the issuance of ten compounds under Reg. 34 (1) of the Food Hygiene Regulations 2009.

The compounds, depending on the premise licence, ranged between RM500 and RM1000.

SHD Food Safety and Quality Health Inspector Rozita Ibrahim said the offence was a failure to maintain hygiene standards including those of the food handlers.

“If we find rats, the place will automatically be shut down. Rat faeces were found in a few premises while many had cockroaches and flies.”

For maintaining the hygiene and safety at your restaurant against the pesky rodents and insects we can help you by providing you with an eco-friendly solution which is Rodrepel^TM, Termirepel^TM, and Combirepel^TM.

These products are manufactured by C Tech Corporation using green technology. The restaurants can be well protected by using these products. The products are a green technology product that does not kill the pest but only repels thus maintaining the ecological balance of the earth.

These products are available in four forms viz. Masterbatch, Liquid Concentrate, lacquer, and wood polish additive.

Masterbatch can be incorporated in the polymer-based applications while processing them. The polymer applications like wires, cables, pipes, polymer made kitchen equipment, etc. can be manufactured by using our masterbatch.

Liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints in proper proportion and cover the entire area of infestation by paints. Lacquer can be directly used as a top coating over the application. The wood polish additive is also a topical application that can be mixed in the wood polish and applied on wooden surfaces.

Our newly developed product is in the form of a spray, called Rodrepel^TM rodent repellent spray , Termirepel^TM insect repellent spray, Combirepel^TM pest repellent spray which are an easy to use product. The spray can be sprayed on infested areas and equipment that need protection from rodents.

Our product solutions do not interfere with the properties of the application and in plus point provides complete protection against the harmful pest like rats and mice and various insects.

Pest infestations in restaurants can pose a serious health risk and damage the restaurant’s reputation. Contact us at technical.marketing@ctechcorporation.com if you’re facing problems with pests and get the best remedies to combat this menace.

est infestation in hospitals is a serious issue that can compromise the health and safety of patients, staff, and visitors. Pests such as rodents, insects, and birds can carry diseases and contaminate surfaces and equipment, which can lead to the spread of infections.

Hospitals should have a pest control program in place to prevent and manage infestations. This program should include regular inspections, monitoring, and sanitation practices to eliminate pest habitats and food sources. In addition, hospitals should work with licensed pest control professionals who can use safe and effective methods to control pests while minimizing the risks to patients and staff.

Preventative measures that hospitals can take to reduce the risk of pest infestation include:

1. Maintaining a clean and sanitary environment, including regular cleaning and disinfection of surfaces and equipment.
2. Properly storing and disposing of food and waste.
3. Sealing cracks and gaps in walls, floors, and ceilings to prevent pests from entering.
4. Using screens on windows and doors to keep out flying insects.
5. Proper measures to prevent bird infestation

Rats Nibble At Patients At Bengal Govt Hospital, Video Goes Viral

16th February, 2023

In the viral video, rats can be seen nibbling at patients lying on the floor of a Government-run hospital in West Bengal’s Malda.

The shocking reality of West Bengal’s healthcare came to light in a video accessed by Republic Bangla. In the video, rats can be seen nibbling at patients lying on the floor of a Government-run hospital. Patients can be seen on the floor of the Malda hospital and rats seem to have infested the entire ward. The video is believed to be from Wednesday.

On being questioned about the presence of rats at the hospital, superintendent Puranjay Saha told Republic Bangla that rats are going to be everywhere. When reporters said rats are riding up patients, he said: “I will ask the assistant super and see what can be done. We do run a pest control programme. I have to ask around.” He added that the hospital has taken measures to control rodents and pests.

Cockroach found in 4-year-old patient’s meal at AIIMS, hospital initiates probe

Published on Nov 15, 2022

The alleged incident occurred on Sunday, after the child, who suffers from Hirschsprung disease — a condition that affects the large intestine and causes problems with passing stool — was served a meal after he was operated upon

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has found itself in the middle of another controversy involving the quality of meals being served at the institute after the family of a four-year-old patient allegedly found a cockroach in a meal served to the child.

The alleged incident occurred on Sunday, after the child, who suffers from Hirschsprung disease — a condition that affects the large intestine and causes problems with passing stool — was served a meal after he was operated upon.

“After the surgery, the doctors told us to give him only semi-solid food. So I asked the staff to give me a bowl of dal. When I gave him the first bite, I found parts of a dead cockroach in it. I made my son spit out the bite immediately,” said the child’s mother, a Noida resident who wished to remain anonymous.

“I am grateful to the doctors here because they have been there for us for the last two years, but food safety is a big concern. I panicked and alerted the hospital authorities and they assured me that they will take the strictest action in the case,” the mother said.

Responding to allegations, the AIIMS administration said, “Hospital authorities have taken a serious note of the incident and are investigating the matter.”

This is not the first time that there has been a complaint about the sub-standard quality of food being served at AIIMS.

Between August and September, two separate incidents occurred where poor quality of food was served in the resident doctors’ canteens of the institute. After complaints were circulated on social media, teams from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) conducted inspections and several samples failed the safety test.

Following the FSSAI tests, the AIIMS administration had directed the closure of a resident doctors’ hostel mess and a cafeteria.

In the event of a pest infestation, hospitals should take immediate action to address the problem. Commonly used pest control measures may include using traps, baits, or insecticides to control the pests, as well as implementing structural modifications to prevent future infestations. But how viable are they? And more importantly how safe are they?

It is important for hospitals to take pest infestations seriously and to have a plan in place to prevent and address them. By following best practices for pest control and working with licensed professionals, hospitals can ensure a safe and healthy environment for patients, staff, and visitors.

So is there such a solution available?

Yes, C Tech Corporation’s Rodrepel^TM is the best solution to keep rodents away from the hospital and hence from human contact. Another product, Termirepel^TM is an insect aversive repellent while Combirepel™ is all in one, rodent, insect and bird aversive repellent.

Rodrepel^TM is a low-toxic, non-hazardous, and rodent aversive. This product works on the mechanism of repellency. It does not harm or kill the target species but generate fear or trigger temporary discomfort within the pests that keep the pests away from the application. The unpleasant experience with the product is imprinted within an animal’s memory and passed on its progeny.

Termirepel^TM is made with a mechanism such that, the product temporarily blocks the mating cycle of these insects and causes feeding disruption by creating discomfort within the insects. The product weakens the ability of insects to reproduce which means, female insects will not lay eggs and laid eggs will be infertile. The product disturbs the release of vital hormones which are essential for insects to grow. 

These products are available as liquid concentrate, lacquer, masterbatch, aerosol sprays, etc. The liquid concentrate can be diluted in paints and can be applied on the interior and exterior of hospitals. The product is safe for use in the patient’s room and operation theatres. The product can be used in the medicine storage areas to keep the pests out of these places. The kitchen and pantry can be painted using this product. The laundry area is dreaded with pests as well where this product can be applied.

The product available in lacquer form is a direct application product. The lacquer can be applied to the furniture and other wooden accessories used in hospitals. It can be applied to already installed wires and cables, polymeric utility pipes, and equipment used in hospitals. The product is compatible with most of the surfaces like metal, wood, concrete, polymer, ceramic, etc.

The product available in the form of masterbatch can be incorporated into the polymeric applications like wires and cables, pipes, equipment, and accessories from hospitals while they are manufactured.

The ready to use spray is an easy to use product, it is an aerosol spray that can be sprayed on infested areas, or areas susceptible to infestations in order to prevent pests from entering.

Rodent infestation has been a growing problem in Jammu and Kashmir due to the presence of large numbers of rodents in the state. The most common species found in the region include the house mouse, the Norway rat, and the brown rat. These rodents can cause significant damage to agricultural crops, contaminate food, and spread diseases. In addition, they can also cause structural damage to buildings and infrastructure. The government of Jammu and Kashmir has implemented various measures to control the rodent population. These include installing rodent-proof barriers, trapping, and poisoning. In addition, the government has also launched awareness campaigns to educate people on the importance of proper storage and disposal of food items to prevent rodent infestation. The government is also working to improve sanitation and hygiene to reduce the rodent population.

Despite all the measures taken by the government, the rodent menace in the state is never ending, here’s the proof:

WANTED: A PIED PIPER TO DEFEAT ARMY OF RODENTS IN JAMMU

 By Ishfaq-ul-Hassan

 Dec. 13, 2022 

SRINAGAR, Dec 13:  Cat-sized rats have literally invaded Jammu city.

People are desperately looking for the proverbial `pied piper’  to defeat the army of rodents in the old city of Jammu

Sensing the crisis, RTI activist Raman Sharma has sent SOS to authorities seeking immediate intervention to rid the old city of rodents.

“Ask any resident of the old city about the damage caused by these rats, everyone has a sad story to share. From damaging clothes to contaminate eatables and from damaging goods in warehouses to tearing down plinths, the rats have made the life of old city residents hell,’ Sharma told The Kashmir Monitor.

“There is an uncontrolled population of rodents. The situation has turned so ugly that now rats are not only vandalizing the lanes and drains but also responsible for damaging the foundations of the houses situated in the narrow alleys of the old city. They have created burrows inside plinths. We fear our houses may collapse. Particularly, the old structures are vulnerable,” Sharma said.

Rats have been at the heart of problem in Jammu for the last several years. After public outcry, Jammu Municipal Corporation used over 65000 doses of anti-rodent pills to kill the rats in the city in 2011. 

Official figures reveal that in 2011, 35230 doses of anti-rodents were used for killing rats. The following year, 30700 doses were used to combat the rodent menace.

“Situation has reached an alarming proportion. Shopkeepers are struggling to find a solution. It is imperative for Jammu Municipal Corporation to take a lead and adopt a scientific method to control the rat population in the old city,” said Sharma.

Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) Mayor Rajinder Sharma told The Kashmir Monitor that people should avoid throwing leftover food in the lanes and by lanes.

JMC MUST CONTROL RAT POPULATION IN OLD CITY, JAMMU !

By Bold News Online Desk; Last updated Dec 10, 2022

Sir,

To many, it may be a laughable issue but as they say, only the bearer knows where the shoe pinches, same is the experience with the residents of Old City Jammu with regard to Rat menace. From damaging clothes in domestic Wardrobes to contaminating and waste eatables stored in commercial godowns, these rats are responsible for every nuisance and trouble that they can do in the city.

 Ask any resident of the old city of Jammu about the damage caused by these big-sized rats, everyone have a sad story to share.

The situation has turned so ugly that now the uncontrolled population of rats are not only vandalizing the lanes and drains but also responsible for damaging the foundations of the houses situated in the narrow lanes of the old city.

The situation is worrisome but residents and shopkeepers are unaware of what to do, though at individual levels they perform anti-rodent measures but as the situation is so grave that it hardly makes any impact and after 2-3 days of anti-rodent treatment, these big-sized rats again intrude the houses and shops and cause damage. As it is a collective problem faced by a huge population therefore it is imperative that Jammu Municipal Corporation takes a lead and adopt a scientific method to control the rat population in Old City Jammu.

Residents of

Old City, Jammu.

Rodents have two pairs of continuously growing incisors which must be kept sharp by gnawing. So just like we clip our fingernails, a rat gnaws on things in order to keep its teeth in check. Overgrown teeth are a possible problem for them. They like any surface that they can gnaw on, let the surface be metal, polymer, concrete, wood, etc.

Several rats now have managed to genetically mutate as a result they gained resistance to poison and the ability to conquer traps. They are growing stronger and smarter every day. They are known as the ‘super rats’. They not only increase in numbers but they grow in size too thus, proving over-the-counter rat poisons ineffective by eating them as snacks!

So how can we keep those monsters away from dominating our residences or workplace?

Let us take good care of your rat dilemma before they wreak havoc!

We at C Tech Corporation developed an environment-friendly, non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-mutagenic, and non-carcinogenic product range to fight the problem without killing the pests.

Our product, Rodrepel™ is anti-rodent and animal aversive that works on 6 prolonged repellence strategies which are not only effective against rats but will keep away other rodents as well.

This product works by using a series of highly evolved complex mechanisms to keep rodents away from the target application.
