Rats can make a home almost anywhere. They infest homes, agriculture, and foodstuffs, and they easily adapt to their surroundings.
They are sometimes found living in rice fields or around poultry or other farm buildings as well as in industrial sites where food and shelter are available.
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 feed, 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.

Roof Rat Damage Causing Concern for Growers
March 16, 2018
Typically more of a problem in urban areas, roof rat damage is causing significant concern for farmers. According to University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources (UCANR) scientists, roof rats are appearing in considerable numbers this year. Researchers suggest monitoring fields for rodent activity and using bait stations before the growing season to prevent problems from developing further.
The amount of rain California experienced last year created ideal conditions for the rodent populations to thrive. The wet weather produced a substantial food source for the rats in weeds and weed seeds. The food supply attracted roof rats away from urban environments out to farms where they were able to quickly reproduce.
Roof rat damage is being reported in several different commodities including citrus, avocados, pomegranates and nut crops. Aside from feeding on the crop directly, rendering it unmarketable, the rodents are also chewing on tree limbs and causing branch dieback. Growers are also reporting damage to irrigation lines.
Roof rats wreak havoc around Valley: Exterminator tips to get rid of critters
By Lexi Sutter │ March 04, 2018
Norway rats, pack rats, and roof rats are living in the Valley, and where you live could determine which type you’ll see. Regardless, you’ll likely have a rat run-in at one point.
“I have no fruit and no trash and there is no end to it,” explained Irina Grebenshchikova, who is dealing with a rat problem at her condo in Arcadia. “I don’t have any citrus trees, I don’t have much of a garden, so for me to remove so many animals is just kind of unexpected.”
Buying traps is part of her weekly routine, and she’s consistently catching rats.
It’s not surprising news for Valley exterminator James Esquibel, who owns Jiminey Kricket Exterminating. He’s seen a large rise in the need for critter control.
“I’ve seen over the last two years about a 1,000 percent increase,” he said.
Esquibel believes the new and constant construction in the Valley is to blame.
You can use products that repel these rodents instead of killing them thus balancing the eco-system.
At C Tech Corporation we provide you with an effective solution. Our product RodrepelTM is developed by using green technology. It is an extremely low concern, low toxic, low hazardous and non-mutagenic animal aversive. It is durable under extreme climatic conditions.
Our product works on the mechanism of repellency. 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.
Our product is RoHS, RoHS2, RoHS3, EU BPR, APVMA, NEA compliant and FIFRA exempted. Our product does not cause harm to target as well as non-targeted species. It just repels them from the applied product. It works on the mechanism of repellency.
RodrepelTM is available in the forms of masterbatch, liquid concentrate, and lacquer.
Masterbatch can be incorporated into polymeric applications like fencing, water pipes, agricultural films, polymeric tree guards, wires, cables, etc. This would result in the final application being rodent repellent.
The liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints in a pre-determined ratio and be applied to the interior and exterior of houses, ceilings, gardens, farms, outhouses, etc. to repel roof rats from the area required.
Lacquer form can be directly applied to the already installed application such as attics, wooden fences, guards, pipes, wires, cables, etc. The lacquer is compatible with most of the surfaces like metal, wood, concrete, polymer, ceramic, etc.
We have developed our product in the form of a spray, the RodrepelTM rodent repellent spray which is an easy to use product. The product can be sprayed on components from warehouses, storage areas, attics, homes, etc. after clearing the dust and waste from components.
Hence by using RodrepelTM, homes, farms, and gardens can be prevented from roof rat damage effectively and considerably.
