How disgusting it would be if one is to attend an official meeting and cannot get his clothes pressed just for a squirrel disconnected the power supply in his area!

The squirrels are capable of troubling thousands of people at a time when it causes power outages. They are responsible for an impressive number of electrical issues each year.

Each marker represents a documented squirrel-induced power outage since 1987- Credits: The Washington Post

The cables made of polymers attract squirrels. The squirrels get attracted to the texture and smell of the cables. With the help of their incisors, the squirrels gnaw these applications and leave them for no use. They destroy the power cables, signaling cables, automotive cables etc.

Damaged electrical wires can split and cause power failures. A person who comes into contact with chewed electrical wires can be electrocuted, which can cause serious injuries or death. Damaged electrical wires can also spark a fire.

Squirrels also damage bird feeders, flowers and vegetable gardens in the process of foraging for food. Squirrels gain access to homes, and especially attics, through small openings and other structural weaknesses.

Squirrel Causes Power Outage
By Gillian Pomplun March 14, 2018 SW News

CRAWFORD COUNTY – Like many, the offices of the Crawford County Independent newspaper were without power for a time in the morning of Wednesday, Feb. 28.

“An evil squirrel got into the substation in Seneca and took out both circuits,” according to Scott Reigstad, an Alliant Energy spokesperson. “It wasn’t a planned outage on our part, and we’re not sure about the squirrel.”

The outage started at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 28, and lasted until 8:40 a.m. Gays Mills, Soldiers Grove, Ferryville, Mt. Sterling, Seneca, Eastman and Lynxville were without power during this time.

Squirrel takes out power in downtown Nashville

Natalie Allison, USA TODAY NETWORK – Tennessee Published 5:57 p.m. CT Jan. 22, 2018

Some residences and businesses lost power in downtown Nashville late Monday afternoon, thanks to the work of a squirrel.

Though it wasn’t immediately clear how many Nashville Electric Service customers were affected by the early evening outage, it appeared the Metro courthouse was among buildings that lost electricity, causing the city council to temporarily adjourn multiple times.

“Unfortunately, the outage was caused by a squirrel and it took out an entire circuit,” a representative from NES tweeted around 5:45 p.m.

By that time, power had been restored in most areas, though some repairs were still needed.

It also wasn’t immediately clear what NES suspects the squirrel did to cause the outage, though the company noted that “squirrels are one of the top causes for power outages” and “unfortunately wander into places they shouldn’t sometimes.”

Metal armored cables, cables with glass roving etc. were used to prevent the damage caused by rodents to the wires and cables. But since the rodents can easily chew through the metals, these protection methods do not work. Other methods for pest control involve use of mechanical traps which fail to work on a mechanical error. Fumigation of pesticides is done to keep rodents away from the applications. Glue boards are used which are dangerous when children and pets are around. Rodent baits are one of the most dangerous methods used to kill the rodents.

All these methods have proved ineffective and have given no results. A need for use of effective products has aroused.

Is there a solution for this rodent menace?

We at C Tech Corporation have come up with a viable solution for this problem.

Our product Combirepel™ is an extremely low toxic, non-hazardous rodent aversive. This product acts through a series of highly developed intricate mechanism ensuring that rodents are kept away from the target application. Our eco-friendly products do not kill the target species but only repel them.

The product 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 with 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.

The products are available in the form of solid masterbatches which can be incorporated as a polymer additive in the cables used for various applications to make them rodent resistant. The masterbatch can be incorporated in polymeric wires and cables, electric switches and appliances while they are manufactured.

The already installed cables, electric junction boxes, cable carriers and ducts, etc. can be coated with our lacquer to protect them from the pests gnawing these applications and thus preventing power outages. The lacquer is transparent product and it does not wear off easily.

The liquid concentrate can be used by mixing it with the paints in a pre-determined ratio and applying it over the interior and exterior of the cable rooms and control rooms.

By using our products, you can get an effective and long-lasting solution against pest nuisance.

You could thus contribute with us in using products which are eco-friendly thus causing no damage to the environment.

When homeowners hear the word termite they often break into a sweat, and rightfully so. Termite damage can cost thousands of dollars. In some cases, homes are demolished because the termite damage is so extensive. Also, the damage by termites is typically not covered by homeowner’s insurance.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. residents spend at least $1 billion on Formosan termite control and repairs each year. Some experts estimate the number is closer to $2 billion.

The Formosan subterranean termite is an invasive species of termite.

The Formosan termite was described from Taiwan (Formosa) in the early 1900s but is native to southern China.

They are found in many states across the southern U.S., including Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. Smaller populations of Formosan termites have also been discovered as far north as the Canadian border.

A mature Formosan termite colony can eat about 31 grams or 1+ ounce per day. At this rate, such a colony could completely consume one foot of 2X4 wood in 25 days – causing severe structural damage to a home in as little as six months.

They commonly enter through expansion joints, cracks, crevices and utility conduits in slabs. Any wood-to-ground contact is an arrival invitation for Formosan subterranean termite infestations. In some occasions, however, Formosan subterranean termite can form colonies that are not connected to ground, called aerial colonies.

In addition to structures, Formosans infest living trees and shrubs, utility poles, landscape timbers, wooden railroad trusses and even boats. However, this termite is also known to attack non-cellulose materials such as plastic, plaster, asphalt, and thin sheets of soft metal (lead or copper) in search of food and moisture. They are also known to chew through the coverings of telephone and electric cable insulation, resulting in costly damage and power outages in cities.

Of course, termites cannot digest plastic, but Formosan subterranean termites will easily penetrate PVC plastic if it means reaching food. Not only have Formosan termites broken underground plastic water pipes, causing shut-downs in water service, but they have also destroyed electrical wires within PVC pipes, resulting in power outages.

In the city of New Orleans where this termite species was introduced in the 1950’s, the control and repair costs due to Formosan subterranean termite are estimated at $300 million annually (Suszkiw 1998). It is considered the single most economically important insect pest in the state of Hawaii.

Destructive ‘super-termites’ discovered in La Mesa

‘Super-termites’ discovered in La Mesa

Amanda Brandeis, ABC10.com │August 13, 2018

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Homeowners in La Mesa are being warned their houses could be at risk of a destructive pest: Formosan subterranean termites.

San Diego-based company Thrasher Termite & Pest Control made the unfortunate discovery this month in a La Mesa home.

They’re deemed “super-termites” due to enormous colonies up to two million strong. The pests can cause significant structural damage within six months unlike traditional dry-wood termites, which take 10-15 years to do similar damage.

The invasive species of termites was first discovered in La Mesa in 1992. Efforts to eradicate the population were thought to be successful, but pest control experts say that’s no longer the case.

Aggressive termites invading Houston area, establishing new colonies in South

By Stephanie Whitfield, USA Today│ May 7, 2018

HOUSTON — Swarms of winged bugs are invading Houston-area neighborhoods from Fifth Ward to the suburb of Baytown, Texas.

The insects are an aggressive species called Formosan termites, and pest specialists don’t know how to eradicate all of them once they’ve established a colony in an area, University of Florida etymologists say.

“What you’re seeing are winged individuals that are the kids. Their job is reproductive,” said Bryan Springer of Coastal Exterminating in the Houston suburb of La Porte. “They’re starting new colonies. They’re not expanding old colonies. They’re literally starting new colonies.”

When traditionally used methods to combat this nuisance have failed, an effective solution is the need of the hour.

C Tech Corporation can offer a solution to overcome the damage caused by termites. Termirepel™ – anti termite additive is an ideal solution for the prevention and control of termites.

Termirepel™ 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.

Termirepel™ is an extremely low concern, low toxic, low hazard, 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.

Termirepel™ is available in the form of the liquid concentrate, lacquer, and masterbatch.

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 homes, buildings, etc. as to be protected from termites.

Our product in the form of lacquer can be applied topically to the applications. The lacquer is compatible with most of the surfaces like 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 pipes, wires, cables, polymeric tree guards, polymeric material, instruments and equipment’s which are attacked by termites. Termirepel™ can be incorporated during the extrusion of wires and cables making them pest repellent.

Termirepel™ 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 is RoHS, RoHS2, ISO, REACH, APVMA, BPR, NEA compliant and FIFRA exempted.

One often plans a lot before buying it, let it be the car model or the car type! After these all efforts made to buy a car, imagine the car being attacked by pest like rodents! Such a mishap isn’t it!

Nearly every car is susceptible to have small holes or gaps. But the rodents are able to make an entry when through such tiny holes.

Mice and rats do not hibernate, so they’re an all-season nuisance. And the longer and colder the winter nights get, the more attractive your home, garage, or workplace becomes to these rodents. Mice and rats are always looking for food, as well as somewhere warm and dry to nest. Since damage can be caused very quickly, you need to be on the lookout for early warning signs of a rodent infestation in your vehicle. Droppings under the hood are an obvious clue, but you should also watch for items that may have been dragged in, including twigs and leaves for building a nest and edibles like pet food or bird seed. If you suspect that you have a rodent issue, you can do a cursory inspection of your vehicle and its surrounding area. Check under and around your vehicle with a flashlight for droppings and small urine puddles, and look in your engine compartment for chew marks. You’ll soon notice if something isn’t quite right.

Vehicles possess the ideal attributes that attract rodents, including shelter and built-up warmth from commutes. With rodent populations well established in virtually every neighborhood it’s not just a matter of chance, but a matter of time, before a home encounters an infestation.

The rodents chew the wires and cables, fuel reservoirs, ducts, cable carriers, seats, etc. from the cars causing a nuisance. Replacement of these vital parts from the cars is expensive.

Many examples of rodent damage to the cars are available and a few can be seen below:

Class-Action Lawsuits: Car Wires Attract Rodents, Cause Thousands in Damage

By Susan Hogan and Meredith Royster
Published at 10:50 PM EDT on Apr 5, 2017

A class-action lawsuit was filed this week on behalf of thousands of Toyota owners who say rodents are eating car wires coated with soy-based materials, causing thousands of dollars in damage.

“Toyota incorporates soy- or bio-based ingredients in the wiring that bait rodents – including rats, squirrels and other animals,” the lawsuit says. Honda is facing a similar suit.

In an effort to reduce waste, some car manufacturers wrap wires in a soy-based material.

Rupert Welch of Falls Church, Virginia, was surprised to learn what caused his car trouble three times over the course of a few weeks. Rodents had a feast at his expense, causing $10,000 in damage.

“I took the car back, but the next day all the lights went on, and the car wouldn’t start, and I had to call a tow truck,” Welch said.

Some car owners want the auto manufacturers to foot the bill for the repairs.

Rat damaged car engine leads to $15K repair bill
Gnawing problem ‘the worst we’ve ever seen’

By Cathy Kearney · CBC News · Posted: Sep 29, 2017

Juan Recacarren has been fixing cars in his Richmond garage for more than 20 years, but in all that time he hadn’t seen the scale of damage rats could cause — until this spring.

The owner of a Porsche Panamera had stored his car in a garage over the winter — but when it didn’t start up in the spring, it was towed to Recacarren’s shop.

“We found lots of damage in the wiring and engine bay — there was a lot of damage in the suspension area, and some of the exhaust wiring,” said Recacarren. “Basically there was damage everywhere.”

The damage so extensive, the repair bill totaled $15,000.

Different ineffective methods are used to keep the pests away from the cars. Various sauces, electronic devices, mothballs etc. are used. But they have failed from preventing the rodents from gnawing the car wires and other components.

We at C Tech Corporation have come up with a viable solution to this problem.

Hospitals are supposed to be visiting places for patients, but these days invasive pests too have started visiting them.

Rodents like rats, mice, squirrels etc. are easily found in the areas of hospitals. They are just not found but are known to cause nuisance in the areas of hospitals.

What attracts these pests in the hospitals?

They get attracted to the food available in the hospital canteens. Caretakers of patients carry food along with them in the hospitals. Many times the carried food is dropped on the flooring. The pest easily gets attracted to these sources of food.

There are limited trash bins available in the hospital areas, which get flooded with the trash. The pesky rodents easily get attracted to this.

There are polymeric applications available such as wires and cables, pipes, surgical instruments etc. available in hospitals to which the pests get attracted. The pests are fond of the colors and smell of the polymeric applications which easily brings the pests in the hospitals.

The hospitals provide with a safe nesting area for rodents. The ceilings, decks, laundry areas, kitchens etc. are places where the rodents nest. The atmosphere in the hospitals is preferable for the rodents to rest.

Their nuisance does not stop just damaging the materials from the hospital but also goes up to threatening patient’s lives, and this is for real!

Rats nibble on dead baby’s face in Telangana’s Narsapur hospital

The hospital has denied negligence on its partImage for representation

In a shocking incident, the body of a three-month-old baby was found chewed up by rats in the mortuary at Government Area Hospital in Narasapur in Telangana’s Medak district.

According to reports,  the baby girl was identified as the daughter of P Kishan and Surekha. The couple had been living separately due to a family dispute.

The police said that the infant, identified as Gnathi, had been ill for a few days with a high fever, and doctors had referred her to Niloufer Hospital in Hyderabad.

Since it was late on Thursday, the doctors said that an autopsy would be conducted the next day.

When the mother checked on the baby on Friday morning, Surekha found the baby’s face disfigured, as rats had chewed it off.

“Our daughter did not have any marks on her body. She was wrapped in a cloth and taken to the mortuary. I asked for a post-mortem only so that my husband wouldn’t say that I killed our baby due to negligence. I didn’t know it would result in this,” the mother was quoted as saying.

Rats, mice, and wasps discovered inside Walsall Manor Hospital
By Alex Ross | Walsall | News | Published: Feb 19, 2018

Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust used the cash on pest control measures over each of the past four years at Manor Hospital.

A Freedom of Information request asking for details of pest control call outs between 2013 and 2017 revealed the problems faced.

In the 2017/18 financial year there were 10 call-outs. They include rat and mice sightings in the main entrance and clinical measurement unit.

A wasp nest was also discovered in the hospital.

In the financial year before, a mouse was spotted in a ward kitchen and a small insect called a silverfish in another.

Hospitals are sensitive places where patients come to get cure from the diseases they are suffering from. But what when the patients come across the rodents which are carrier of more than 200 deadly pathogens.

The sensitive places like hospitals should be kept rodent free to avoid any mishap due to pest presence.

To keep rodents away from hospitals many ineffective control measures are used traditionally. These methods include the use of rat traps which do not work once a mechanical damage is caused to them. The hospitals are fumigated, which is a most dangerous method of pest control. Glue boards are used that can be dangerous if a patientaccidentallyy sticks to it. Rat poisons are used which are potential of killing the rodents and spreading the death diseases.

In a place likea hospital effective and eco-friendly measures are necessary to keep these pests at a bay.

Is there such a solution available?

Yes, C Tech Corporation’s Combirepel™ is the best solution to keep rodents away from the hospital and hence from human contact.

Combirepel™ is a low-toxic, non-hazardous and rodent aversive. This product works on the mechanism of repellency.

Combirepel™ is available in liquid concentrate which can be diluted in paints and can be applied on 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 is available in lacquer form which is a direct application. The lacquer can be applied to the furniture and other wooden accessories used in hospitals. It can be applied on 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.

Fact about all rodents is that they have incisors that never stop growing. They gnaw continuously to keep their choppers in check. Otherwise, their teeth would grow to such an impractical length that they would starve and die.

Rodents can cause considerable damage in many places, and that includes damage to electrical wires and cables. Rodents use their sharp incisors to gnaw food, they sometimes chew on things like wood or ducts, but they also chew on electric cables and wires. Places like station offices which are full of rush there the rodents make their houses due to easy availability of food which is thrown by the people so this causes the growth of this rodents to make their way easy to access food.

There are many people who find electrical wires in their house, office, cars, ships etc with bruises and scratch marks.

As a car owner, we are probably aware of the risks such as accidents and other threats. Have we ever thought of the threat and the risk that rats can pose in our vehicle though they don’t just damage your home when an infestation happens, they can cause serious damage to your vehicle too? The biggest threat to our vehicle concerning rats is the wiring. Thus sometimes it can be expensive and complicated to repair the wiring that can be damaged by a rat infestation.

Rats also cause problems by biting the electrical wiring in cars, trucks, and trailers. The damage can sometimes be very difficult to locate, resulting in large repair bills!

Insulation is not safe from rodents.  They will tunnel into insulation inside walls and attics, either to make a home or to gather soft materials for their nests.

Rodents build their nests in large electrical appliances, and chewing on or through insulation and wiring, which can cause the appliance to short circuit, or lead to the risk of fire.

Investigation: Lawsuits claim rodents chewing through car wires
By Wendy Saltzman | Wednesday, June 21, 2017

A furry little culprit is causing big problems for car manufacturers and, possibly more importantly, for drivers whose vehicles are being destroyed.

Now lawsuits are popping up across the country claiming rodents are responsible, eating cars from the inside out. And it’s likely not covered under your warranty.

Critics say soy-wire coverings now used in many new cars are also a tasty food source attracting rodents. They’re chewing through wires and costing car owners thousands of dollars

We at C Tech Corporation are in a unique position to provide solutions to the problems caused by these creatures. Instead of killing our products repels the rodents. Our products results have been positive with our customers

Rodents belong to the family of Rodentia, the single largest group of rodents. About 40% of all mammals’ species are rodents. These rodents are found worldwide. The distinguishing feature of the rodents is their pairs of continuously growing, razor-sharp incisors. In order to avoid the overgrowth of these incisors, they gnaw objects around them. Rodents are prone to invading different places for nesting. They prefer places which provide them with food and protection from their natural predators.

Rodents use their sense of smell to find food. Though herbivorous, they can eat a wide variety of stuff. They eat fruits, vegetables, cereal grains; scavenge for scraps left by a larger predator. Supermarkets provide with a wide variety of food and household products. The main purpose of rodents entering the supermarkets is the food availability there. Here they find a variety of foodstuff to munch, along with a safe place to nest.

Rodents that seem very big can slide in like a jelly into the tightest of gaps and holes. They can enter supermarkets in many ways like roof joints, electrical cable entry holes, AC chases etc.

To ensure the presence of rodents, one can look for chewed wires, droppings, rat nest, chewed wood, and chewed insulation on pipes.

Rats are potent of spreading diseases like Salmonellosis, caused by consuming food or water that is contaminated by rat feces. Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is another deadly disease. HPS is transmitted by infected rodents through their urine, droppings, or saliva. Leptospirosis and rat-bite fever are caused by eating food or drinking water contaminated with urine from infected rodents.

Common insects that sneak into food supplies are ants, flour beetles, saw-toothed grain beetles, and carpet beetles. At times the food packets at supermarkets are found holed. Ants readily get attracted to such food. There are chances that the same foodstuff is being purchased by customers and later consumed. Cockroaches find easy access to the stored food. They eat rotten canned food and thus carry the same with them all over the places they travel. Such circumstances may give rise to the spread of diseases.

Grains are stored in a lot at supermarkets. These grains become a great treat for the rodents, and insects as well. Grains are mainly stored in burlap or plastic bags, metal or plastic container. Rodents are capable of chewing burlap bags easily, but if given enough time they can chew metal and plastic cans as well.

The conditions which encourage these insects getting into the grains are high grain temperature and moisture. Availability of such appropriate conditions increases the chances of insect survival and reproduction. To find bugs in breakfast cereals is too common because even bugs like to eat what we eat. Indian meal moths are very commonly found in grocery shops and supermarkets. Nuts are their favorite food.

These insects are the primary or intermediate hosts or carrier of human diseases. There are many bacterial diseases that are transmitted in some form of fecal contamination of food or water; either directly or indirectly. House flies are the primary agent in the spread of these diseases.

 Unexpected rodents in the shopping area!

9th July 2014, Daily Mail, England

Customer catches the video of three rats running around the Wallingford supermarket and the company admits it’s not the first time.

From the above mentioned interesting news articles, it is clear that the damage due to rodents and insects is not only limited to food but also to humans. Killing them won’t be a good way of getting rid of them as there is a possibility that the killed rodents and insects spread foul smell around the supermarket. It can be hazardous even if one of these creatures dies in the supermarket. Using pesticides would not only kill the target species but will also cause harm to the humans as well as to other animals. So the mechanism of repelling would be more effective here.

A unique and environmentally friendly solution would be just appropriate for overcoming this problem.

C Tech Corporation has come up with an optimal solution to counteract problems caused by such creatures.

Our product Combirepel™will solve these problems effectively.

Combirepel™ is a blend of extremely low concern, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic and non-mutagenic compounds. It is an environmentally friendly animal and insect aversive.

It is a broad spectrum animal aversive majorly designed to repel rodents and insects but is highly effective against other animals like rabbits and bears. It works by the action of repellence due to which it drives the rodents and insects away from the application. It has been designed for polymeric applications and natural materials like wood.

Our product is available in the forms of ma asterbatch, liquid concentrate and lacquer form. Supermarkets can bring in use these products to shield the food racks and other accessible points from wherein rodents and insects try getting in the supermarket. Thus our products will help to safeguard food.

Eat healthily, stay healthy!

You can find rats or mice entering your house even when you have designed a rodent-proof house?!

Yes, this is true!

Rodents like rats and mice do not need doors or window to enter a house. A tiny hole as small as a finger ring is enough for the rodents to pass through and make an entry into your house. They easily make use of the sewage, water, gas and other essential pipes to enter the facilities like homes, offices, theaters etc.

The Stuff news article says, “Rats chew through water pipe causing thousands of dollars in damage” highlighting the nuisance caused by a rat when it entered Mr. Brian Turner’s house.

Rodents can swim up sewer pipes and get excess inside the toilets. They use these pipes for traveling from one end to another. In between, they do gnaw these applications resulting in leakage of the pipes.

Several utility pipes are laid underground. These pipes are susceptible to get damaged by the rodents which reside underground. The rodents chew these pipes to keep their incisors sharp.
The colors and texture of the polymeric pipes attract these pests which make them attack these applications.

Now, rodents are even known to gnaw metals, thus the metallic pipes are not safe from the rodent attack. Rodents have a bite force greater than that of the shark. Thus they can easily bite the metal pipes leaving them for no use.

Many a times rodents gnaw on water supply pipes making holes in them. This results in unnecessary flow and wastage of water.

The destruction caused by rodents can be unimaginable. Accidents have occurred due to rodents chewing the gas pipelines leading to leakage of gas. This has resulted in fire hazards making people lose their lives.

Wiltshire householders warned to watch out for rodents

6th September 2017 Alison Phillips – Gazatte and Herald

RATS are likely to be on the rise in Wiltshire this autumn as the county already is high on a national rat league table, so householders should watch out for sightings of the disease-carrying rodents in homes and gardens.

A typical home may have more than a dozen potential entry points for rats as they can get through gaps as small as 15mm, often through plumbing pipes and unscreened vents or gaps in the eaves and roof edges.

Warning of rat invasion for Cambridgeshire this autumn

BYANNA STARNES 08:40, 7 SEP 2017

As the weather turns colder and wetter, homeowners are at risk of finding unwanted furry guests
Cambridgeshire is primed for a rat invasion this autumn, according to the British Pest Control Association (BPCA).

Dee Ward-Thompson, technical manager for the BPCA, said: “The first evidence of rats in a home is often noises under the floor, in the walls or loft as that’s where most will head to once they’re inside.

They’ll also do their best to find sources of food, which means they can soon move to other areas of the house occupied by humans.

The average house has more than a dozen possible ways for rats to enter. They can fit through spaces as small as 15mm, such as plumbing pipes, unscreened vents or gaps in the eaves and roof edges.

The rodent menace around pipes has been tried to control using ineffective methods. The traditionally used methods for pest control involve the use of mechanical traps which fail to work on a mechanical error. Fumigation of pesticides is done to keep rodents away from the applications. Glue boards are used which are dangerous when children and pets are around. Rodent baits are one of the most dangerous methods used to kill the rodents.

All these methods have proved ineffective and have given no results. A need for use of effective products has aroused.

Is there a solution for this rodent menace?

We at  C Tech Corporation have come up with a viable solution for this problem.

Our product Combirepel™ is an extremely low toxic, non-hazardous rodent aversive. This product acts through a series of highly developed intricate mechanism ensuring that rodents are kept away from the target application. Our eco-friendly products do not kill the target species but only repel them.

The products are available in the form of solid masterbatches which can be incorporated as a polymer additive in the pipes used for various purposes to make them rodent resistant. The masterbatch can be incorporated in polymeric pipes while they are manufactured.

The metallic pipes can be protected by using our liquid concentrate as a topical application. The liquid concentrate is compatible with all kinds of solvents. The liquid concentrate can be mixed with paints in a pre-determined ratio and painted on the external surfaces of pipes. This will prevent rodents from damaging the pipes. The product available in the form of liquid concentrate can be used along with paints and be applied near the areas where pipes are laid on walls and concrete. The product is compatible with all types of paints and solvents.

Our product in form of lacquer can be used to coat the metal and polymeric pipes used for different purposes. The lacquer is a transparent product and it does not wear off easily. It can be applied on already installed metal and polymeric pipes.

These products work on the mechanism of sustainability and green technology and therefore significant in today’s time and date as ecology salvation has become the prime focus.

By using our products you can get an effective and long-lasting solution against pest nuisance.
You could thus contribute with us in using products which are eco-friendly thus causing no damage to the environment.

Warehouses: Susceptible to harboring unwanted guests

The Norway rat, roof rat, and house mouse are destructive rodent pests in and around farm facilities. This can be especially true during the winter months, as they seek food and refuge indoors. Rats and mice consume and contaminate food, gnaw on structural, mechanical, and electrical components, and weaken concrete slabs and walkways with their burrowing activities. They can also potentially carry diseases such as bubonic plague, leptospirosis, rabies, and bacterial food poisoning.

Usually, the first signs of rodent infestation are droppings or urine stains in and around buildings, because rats and mice are most active at night. If rodents are seen repeatedly during the day, it is an indication of an established population. It is estimated that for every rodent seen during the day around barns and poultry houses, there are likely 20 to 50 that are unseen.

Effective rodent control involves a three-step process. The first step is to “rodent-proof” the structure. This is very difficult because rats and mice can squeeze through holes just large enough to pass their heads through, as small as ¼ for mice and ½ inch for rats. They can climb through pipes; jump vertically three feet, horizontally four feet, and climb wires, cables, vines, and trees to enter a building.

Rats and mice have long been a problem on farms where food and nesting sites are plentiful. They are carriers of some 45 diseases and are capable of contaminating farm feed and water supplies helping to spread disease from contaminated to uncontaminated areas and from animal to animal. Many of these diseases are harmful to livestock and humans.

 

Evidence for pest menace,

SLO Food Bank: Health inspectors found rodent droppings at the warehouse

By KSBY | Dec 05, 2017

The Food Bank Coalition of San Luis Obispo County released more information Monday related to the unsanitary conditions health inspectors say were found at the organization’s warehouse last month.

Food Bank CEO Kevin Drabinski says after staff failed to renew its processed food registration license at its new San Luis Obispo warehouse, state health inspectors came out November 27 to check out the facility.

It was at that time Drabinski says evidence of rodent droppings were discovered at various locations throughout the warehouse. The food bank was then told no products could be moved in or out of the facility until further notice.

Poor storage eats up 48k tonne grain

TNN | Oct 26, 2015

PUNE: If only thousands of tonnes of food grain was stored properly in warehouses across India in the last three-and-a-half years, the country would not have run into such a severe shortage spiraling into a price rise in the essentials this year.

Country-wide data from the ministry of consumer affairs, food, and public distribution showed that of the total grain production in India, close to 48,900 tonnes was damaged in storage. Stocks usually come to the godowns after the Kharif or rabi seasons.

Experts said if India had not lost grain in this manner, more than sufficient quantity would have now been available to meet the consumption demand in the country.

Pest attacks, leakages in godowns, procurement of poor quality stocks, exposure to rains, floods and negligence cause losses.

Using of pesticides, rat baits, fumigation, glue board can be harmful to human’s health so instead of using an outdated control measure like the pesticides, we can make use of our products which repels.

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 to these rodents in developing non- toxic & non-hazardous formulation!

 

Rodrepel^TM is a low-toxic, non-hazardous rodent aversive. Rodrepel^TM is a perfect blend of smart technology and green chemistry. This product acts through a series of highly developed intricate mechanism ensuring that the rodents are kept away from the application.

 

The product 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 with 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.

 

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

 

Our products are available in the form of a liquid concentrate, lacquer, wood polish additives, masterbatch and our newly developed product in the form of a spray.
