Ever wondered how to get rid of the white or lotion coloured creatures, resembling an ant once and for all? Termites are one of the most stubborn pests, that can engage in havoc if left uncontrolled. They have the capacity to nest on nearly anything and almost everything. They commonly feed on wood, leaves or branches of bushes, papers, and many others. These tiny insects are really powerful capable of even destroying the entire constructing!

Termites are not dangerous to people as they are not venomous and they do not usually bite people. However, the cost of termite damage can be extensive and can require a lot of money on the part of the homeowner to repair.

Springtime marks season to watch out for termites

by WGXA Digital News Staff

Saturday, March 14^th 2020

MACON, Ga. — With springtime comes more sunshine, flowers, and even some allergies — but seasonal changes can also bring in new pests that may impact the safety and value of your home.

Pest control experts in Middle Georgia say it’s important to watch out for termites, especially during the spring.

“When springtime hits and after all this moisture and humidity, that’s the termite that most people see. If you have them in your home, they’re gonna make an exit hole, and they’re gonna swarm all in your home, so you’re gonna have insects all in your home. That’s the most noticeable. Other things are just the buckling of paint in the walls or sometimes if they’re in the wall, they’ll eat through the sheet rock and they’ll put a piece of mud,” says Ben Dupree, Senior Service Manager for Arrow Exterminators.

Termite damage is not typically covered by insurance and causes millions of dollars in damage every year, according to Arrow Exterminators.

Going to the hospital is already a stressful situation, and it can be even worse when you find out that you’ve been exposed to bed bugs there. 

A hospital, with the constant movement of patients, employees, staff, and visitors offers many opportunities for the introduction of bed bugs. 

The bedbug can live without blood — its food source — for up to 18 months. “Females can lay up to 4 eggs a day in hidden locations; up to 5 to 10 a week and up to 500 in her lifetime,” according to Eisenberg.

Sighting bedbugs in your hospital facility can affect the reputation and defame a brand.

Dealing with a possible bed bug infestation in a healthcare facility is a delicate situation. It must be made clear that a bed bug problem can happen to anyone and anywhere. Also, rectifying the situation is contingent on the cooperation of all parties. Help your employees, patients, and residents feel comforted by the fact that your healthcare facility has a bed bug control plan in place.

Northern Ireland hospitals record 3,000 incidences of rats, mice and insects

By Ralph Hewitt  

December 26 2019

Pest controllers were called out hundreds of times to Northern Ireland hospitals last year due to infestations of rats, mice and bedbugs.

Rodents and insects were spotted in A&E departments, hospital wards and even kitchen and dining areas.

In total more than 3,000 pest sightings were reported at hospital facilities during the last three years.

The Belfast Trust, the biggest health trust, recorded the highest number of pest sightings – 1,381 across the three years.

The South Eastern Trust had a further 588 reports, while the Northern Trust had 524 sightings.

The Western Trust had 429 sightings, while a further 93 reports were recorded at the Southern Trust.

Mom says bedbugs found at Hendersonville hospital

• Nancy Amons
• October 22, 2019

HENDERSONVILLE, TN (WSMV) – Bedbugs in a hospital room?

One mother, who just had a baby in a Sumner County hospital, said bedbugs bit her 11-year-old daughter in the hospital’s labor and delivery suite.

The mom said the suite had a couch on it and she said that’s where she saw the bedbugs that she said bit her daughter.

Jamie Turner had just given birth to her third child on Oct. 16 at TriStar Hendersonville Hospital. That’s where she said she took a picture of a bedbug crawling on her 11-year-old daughter. She said the girl was sleeping on the couch in the same room where she had just given birth.

“I thought it was very disgusting to see the bugs there, period,” said Turner. “I just had a baby and that’s one of the things you wouldn’t think of to run across, to have bedbugs in the room with a newborn baby.”

You can see bumps in her 11-year-old daughter’s face. There are marks on her arm too.

“She was complaining about itching,” said Turner.

With bed bugs come a multitude of business challenges, including employees and patients returning to their homes with bed bugs, cost of treatment and the impact bed bugs can have on your brand. Although bed bugs don’t transmit diseases to their victims, they can put patients at risk. The presence or even the suspicion of bed bugs can be very stressful. Bed bugs can also leave an itchy welt on their victims, which may become infected and pose a threat to sensitive patients. 

At C Tech Corporation, we manufacture a product named Termirepel™ which is an anti-termite and insect repellent. The product works on the mechanism of repellence and does not kill the target species but repel them. The product is effective against a broad spectrum of insects and does not cause any harm to humans and other non-target species.

Termirepel™ is available in the form of a spray, liquid concentrate, lacquer, wood polish additive, and masterbatch.

The Termirepel™ insect repellent spray is an easy to use product and compatible with most of the surfaces.

The liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints in a pre-determined ratio and be applied to the interior and exterior of hospitals, ceilings, storage rooms, doctor’s cabin, pharmacy, washrooms, canteens, etc. to repel bedbugs and other insects from the area required.

Our product in the form of lacquer can be directly applied to the already installed application such as furniture, attics, wooden articles, sewage pipes, wires, cables, etc. The lacquer is compatible with most of the surfaces like metal, wood, concrete, polymer, ceramic, etc.

Masterbatch can be incorporated into polymeric applications like water pipes, wires, cables, polymeric equipment from hotels, etc. This would result in the final application being insect repellent.

Our product is RoHS, RoHS2, RoHS3, APVMA, NEA, EU BPR compliant and FIFRA exempted.

Rats in the restaurant? This is the worst nightmare for any Restaurateur. A report of an infestation in the news is a guarantee of closure and permanent loss of business. Even if you do everything right, such as having a licensed food handler, and have a dedicated staff that follows all the right food handling rules, just one sewer pipe break can cause an uncontrolled rat infestation. Just one rat sighting can seriously damage your restaurant’s business… 

Rats do not pay attention to signs and doorways and cleanly mopped floors. Rats come and go according to rat needs. 

Rats are notorious for chewing through anything in front of them. They have an excellent sense of smell and are attracted to places where there is food and water readily available, such as a food premise. Rats will easily gnaw through wood, plastic, some metals, and brick walls. Worse still, they have been known to chew through power cables, causing costly repairs and potential fire risks.

Gosport pub and restaurant closed for two days due to mice infestation

THE Cocked Hat in Gosport was closed after customers complained about rodents in the restaurant.

By Richard Lemmer

Monday, 3rd February 2020

The Greene King-owned pub, in Privett Road, was forced to call in a pest control firm on Thursday morning – after several mice had run across customers’ feet in the dining area last week, according to a member of staff.

The member of staff said the pub had a problem with mice over the last two years.

A spokesman from Greene King said: ‘We take our cleanliness and hygiene standards extremely seriously and once we become aware of this issue, we took immediate remedial action. The pests have now been eliminated from the building and the pub has now reopened.

Gosport Borough Council said it had not been contacted about the situation and that the pub had closed under its own volition, and not due to any order.

Customer complaint about rodents closes restaurant

Published: Monday, 9th September 2019

Oxford City Council environmental health officers forced an Oxford restaurant to close after mouse droppings and flies were found in food service areas.

Following a customer complaint about My Sichuan, The Old School, Gloucester Green, officers from the Business Regulation team called to investigate on Monday 2 September. They found widespread evidence of active mouse infestation and heavy fly activity in the premises, which posed a significant risk of food contamination. A hygiene emergency prohibition notice was issued requiring immediate closure of the restaurant.

Following a hearing at Oxford Magistrates Court on Friday 6 September the court issued a formal closure order. The restaurant’s management was represented in court.

All of a sudden, a shut-down notice hampers your restaurant’s growth and also the reputation within a county gets lowered. This is all because of the tiny pests called RODENTS.

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 a tiny rodent 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.

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.

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

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!

A recent news reported for such a damage is as below:

BENGALURU: RODENTS NIBBLE AWAY AT VEHICLE WIRING

TNN | January 14, 2020

BENGALURU: It’s not just traffic that gets motorists exasperated in Bengaluru. Rodent menace is turning out to be a major headache too. A rising number of motorists are thronging workshops with complaints of rats chewing or damaging wiring harness of vehicles, particularly cars.

Many take to online automobile forums to vent their anger over this nuisance. The most affected are those who leave behind their vehicles on trash-strewn streets due to lack of parking space. “I was planning a trip from Bengaluru to Ernakulam but there was some problem with my vehicle’s ignition. On opening the bonnet, I realised rodents had damaged some wiring.

The mechanic, too, said he is getting several such cases,” said Ramesh P, a resident of Indiranagar.

“There are several instances of supply wires to the fuel pump being eaten up by rodents. This problem is rampant across the city and rats often chew essential wiring of vehicles. Engine wires are primarily vulnerable. Sometimes rodents chew insulation covering the wires and this leads to short circuits,” said Vijay Kumar, a mechanic in Kengeri. He claims to be receiving an average of 10 cars with gnawed wires every month. At times, the cost of fixing such damages runs up to Rs 6,000.

Rodrepel^™, Termirepel^™ and Combirepel™-the range of non-toxic and non-hazardous anti rodent and anti-termite/insect additive masterbatches, developed by C Tech Corporation, India have been evaluated in various polymeric applications. These products are compliant with RoHS, RoHS2, RoHS3, EU BPR, NEA, REACH and are FIFRA exempted.

Bedbugs are small, oval, brownish insects that live on the blood of animals or humans. Adult bedbugs have flat bodies about the size of an apple seed. After feeding, however, their bodies swell and are reddish in color.

Bedbugs do not fly, but they can move quickly over floors, walls, and ceilings. Female bedbugs may lay hundreds of eggs, each of which is about the size of a speck of dust, over a lifetime.

A bedbug infestation can be spotted anywhere, homes, apartments, hotels, hospitals, schools and college campuses, office buildings, retail stores, movie theaters, and even public transportation.

Timothy Healy once quoted “To those with ears to hear, Libraries are really noisy places.

On their shelves, we hear the captured voices of centuries-old conversation that makes up our civilization”.

This can best summarize how truly significant libraries are and their influence in catering to the imagination and consciousness of a nation.

We all know that books contribute to civilization, and therefore they must be treasured.  Jorge Luis Borges once said, “I have always imaged that paradise will be a kind of library”.  But imagine a paradise which is repeatedly invaded by unwanted intruders. It is tarnished – the picture-perfect paradise.

That is exactly how a library is when it is intruded by creepy crawly creatures such as termites. Books are a haven for readers- they are also a feast for termites.

Termites are known to feed on dead plant material, generally in form of wood, leaf litter, soil or animal dung. Owing to their great interest in woods many termite species are known to do great damage to unprotected buildings and wooden structures. Moreover, their habit of remaining concealed often results in their presence being undetected until the timbers are severely damaged and exhibit surface changes. Once termites have entered a building, they do not limit themselves to wood; they also damage paper, cloth, carpets and other cellulosic materials.

In April 2011, wood-eating termites were blamed for reportedly consuming more than $220,000 worth of Indian rupee note

Two weeks after its opening in Jan 2012 the Bloy Community library was attacked by termites with all the books completely destroyed resulting in roughly USD 10000 and more costs which would have to be incurred to address the damage done to the library.

While termite damage to books and cupboards was evident it was surprising to note that even concrete walls of the libraries were damaged.  

Further investigation and study revealed that concrete floors and walls develop cracks over time. This leads to holes in the pipes or wires and through the walls where termites can squeeze through.  Termites can tunnel best when the ground around them is moist. Concrete slabs keep some moisture directly underneath the home, which attracts termites. There is an urban legend that says that termites can eat through concrete to get into a home. In fact, termites do not eat concrete. They can squeeze through very tiny cracks, so it sometimes seems like they have eaten their way through.

A POPULAR PUBLIC LIBRARY HAS BECOME INFESTED WITH TERMITES

Mar 13, 2018

When it comes to insect infestations, public libraries cannot catch a break these days. There have been numerous news stories in the media telling about various insect pests infesting libraries. For example, a few months ago a well publicized bed bug infestation occurred in a Boston library. As you can understand, many Boston residents were not happy to learn that they could have picked up bed bugs from their library. The library’s infestation of bed bugs has since been eradicated, but residents of Boston remain unsettled over the incident. Unfortunately, the insect pest situation in Boston is not going to improve any time soon, as yet another library has become infested with insects. However, this time the invading insects are termites, not bed bugs.

The Library Director, Jay Stephens, was the first to notice the termite presence, but he could not immediately identify the unusual insects as termites. Initially, Stephens noticed small formations on the ground-floor of the library. At first, Stephens thought that he was looking at ants and their anthills, but the insect’s strange appearance led him to assume that the bugs were termites. Stephens also found several individual termites crawling around certain remote locations around the library. Stephens promptly contacted an expert termite inspector in order to have the insects properly identified. The inspector took one look at the insects and wasted no time telling Stephens that termites were invading his library.

While there is a need to employ methods to address the damage by termites it cannot be overlooked that termites have a vital place in our ecology.

For a steady plant community to arise and persist, a delicate natural balance must exist involving plant growth, plant consumption by animals and insects, and soil development through rock weathering and re-cycling of nutrients from broken-down plants. Termites play an important role in nutrient dynamics by ingesting and redistributing minerals, fatty acids, vitamins, and 20 amino acids. Soils surrounding termite nests also have massive increase in fertility due to the higher nutrient status of materials eroded from mound surfaces. Hence we are required to select and choose for an alternative that is completely suitable for such scenario.

Termirepel™ a product from C Tech Corporation is a completely non-toxic, nonhazardous and environmentally friendly product designed for protection against termites without harming termites and destroying their existence in any way.

Termirepel™ which is an anti-termite has been designed for polymeric applications as well as for natural materials like wood. It combines the best of chemistry and green practices to give an environmentally safe product which keeps the termites away effectively while at the same time guaranteeing safety to the environment, plants, animals and fragile ecosystems. The product triggers a flight or fight response in the insects making them leave the area.

Termirepel™ liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints and can be applied to damaged applications, interior and exterior of structures, shelves, cupboards, etc. The masterbatch can be incorporated into wires and cables which are used in wiring.

While the product in lacquer form can be used as a topical application that can be applied to furniture, cabinets, bookshelves, etc. The lacquer is compatible with all surfaces.

The product available in the form of wood polish additives can be mixed in wood polish and then used for coating wooden objects and articles to protect it from termite attack.

Termirepel^TM insect repellent spray is an easy to use product that can be sprayed by anyone on any surface. It works against termites and a broad spectrum of insects.

Combirepel^TM is both rodent and insect repellent. It can be used to prevent damages to an application from both, rodents and insects.

Money doesn’t grow on trees. It takes many people several decades in order to save up enough money to afford a modest retirement. Having your own stash of cash eaten away by termites would be a disappointing and disheartening experience, to say the least.

Termites will feed on absolutely anything that contains cellulose. In fact, termites will even chomp through materials in order to reach sources of cellulose. Termite colonies can number in the millions, and they are all on a constant search for cellulose. Of course, paper money also contains cellulose, so your cash makes for a great termite snack. Even if you keep your money in the bank, then too it will be likely invaded by the ravenous colonies of cellulose-craving termites. Termite infestations are not just a threat to the structure of your home, they also threaten the money you keep stashed under your mattress. Believe it or not, but termites have managed to access and consume cash that had been kept in personal safes.

Annapurna Singh New Delhi: August 21, 2013

At a time when Indian banks are facing acute liquidity shortage and a consequent impact on the flow of credit to productive sectors of the economy, a startling revelation has come to light about currency notes worth Rs 3.75 crore being eaten away by termites in the vaults of State Bank of India.

The country’s largest public-sector lender lost the money to white ants at its regional office in the Brabanki district of Uttar Pradesh.

Although the incident dates back to 2010, the information came to light only on Wednesday, when Minister of State for Finance Namo Narain Meena stated it in a written reply to a Lok Sabha question.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has since asked all banks to undertake anti-termite measures.

The RBI in May this year had also directed banks to follow a clean-note policy and issue only clean currency notes to public.

So, what do we do now? Prevent them? But how?

There is an efficient solution that we at C Tech Corporation, have come up with. We have a unique product known as Termirepel™ which solves all our grievances. So, let us look at some of the salient features of Termirepel™ and how it drives these mischievous termites away from our houses, offices, and workplaces.

Termirepel™ is non-toxic and non-hazardous insect/termite aversive repellent.

Termirepel™ which is an anti-termite has been designed for polymeric applications as well as for natural materials like wood. It combines the best of chemistry and green practices to give an environmentally safe product which keeps the termites away effectively while at the same time guaranteeing safety to the environment, plants, animals and fragile ecosystems. The product triggers a flight or fight response in the insects making them leave the area.

What’s the biggest danger to the power grid? Hackers? Terrorists? Er, squirrels.

You’ve probably noticed, squirrels seem to be everywhere. The critters can also hit close to home, knocking out power.

Recent news reported states that squirrels are responsible for 14 percent of Huntsville Utilities outages in 2019 where among the total 2,884 total outages through mid-December, squirrels were responsible for 207 of them.

One might wonder the need for these notorious mammals being so interested in closely exploring the cables, even when these cables don’t suit their palate? The answer is simple; Most of the time squirrels gnaw to fulfill a portion of their dietary habits – opening hard-shelled nuts. If, however, squirrels do not have an adequate dietary reason or opportunity to exercise their incisors, there is a danger of the teeth “overgrowing”. In these cases, the incisors can prevent the squirrel’s mouth from closing (severely restricting its ability to eat), or the teeth may actually cause injury to the animal, including puncturing the roof of the mouth. If squirrels have need of wearing down their incisors, and there are no other hard substances nearby, they will gnaw on cable. Cable components such as polyethylene and aluminum shielding handily meet the needs of squirrels in the neighborhood when it comes to oral maintenance.

2019 – A NOT-SO-GREAT YEAR FOR POWER OUTAGES IN NEW WESTMINSTER

Theresa McManus / New West Record

December 24, 2019

Wildlife, branches and equipment failures are among the causes of what appears to be a higher-than-normal number of power outages in New Westminster in 2019.

Statistics provided to the Record by the city’s electrical utility indicate there were 35 outages between Jan. 4 and Nov. 22, including some on the same day.

New Westminster, which operates its own electrical utility, is a city that’s long prided itself on having fewer power outages than other municipalities.

At C Tech Corporation, we manufacture a product named Rodrepel™ which is an anti-rodent and animal aversive repellent which is a non- toxic, non- hazardous and environmentally safe solution. The product works on the mechanism of repellence and does not kill the target species but repel them. The product is effective against rodents and does not cause any harm to humans and other non-target species.

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

Rodrepel™ masterbatch can be incorporated into polymeric applications like wires and cables, pipes and polymeric equipment, etc.

Rodrepel™ liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints in a pre-determined ratio and be applied to the interior and exterior walls of the power station, transformer box, electric control panels system, buildings, etc. to repel rodents from the area.

Cockroaches are notoriously resilient creatures. Capable of living headless for weeks on end, holding their breath for around five to seven minutes and even surviving nuclear radiation, the insects serve as formidable enemies for humans hoping to rid their homes of pesky roach infestations. But these tenacious qualities aren’t the only signs of the animal’s seeming invincibility: A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports suggests cockroaches are becoming increasingly resistant to pesticides, paving the way for a near-future in which it will be “almost impossible” to control the pests with chemicals alone.

How, you might wonder, does a roach become resistant to poison? A single organism — a single roach, a single bacterium — doesn’t become resistant to a chemical. The population does.

In any given population, there’s variation. Some individuals may have an inborn resistance to a chemical while others do not. When a pest population is treated with that chemical, the ones without the resistance die and the ones with it live. The survivors pass down their resistance genes to the next generation. And then suddenly, you end up with a population of individuals mostly resistant to that chemical.

Numerous articles and studies have been published in various journals and newspapers. One of them is as below:

Cockroaches inherit pesticide resistance making them even harder to kill

By Kay Vandette

Cockroaches have a reputation of being one of the hardiest pests on Earth, and you’ve probably heard that the insects could survive a nuclear war. 

What or will not kill a cockroach has become the source of many old wives tales and studies have even shown that a roach can survive for weeks in a sealed environment without its head. 

Cockroaches are carriers of disease and can contaminate homes and food with dangerous bacteria like E. Coli. This makes the cockroach more than a nuisance and a threat to human health. 

New research has now found that some types of cockroaches are developing a resistance to insecticides making them even more difficult to kill.

Researchers from Purdue University examined German cockroaches (Blattella germanica L.), which are one of the most common cockroaches found worldwide. Of all the roach species, Blattella germanica L. can lay more eggs in its lifetime with a female producing 30 to 50 eggs at a time. 

Thus, insecticides can be proving to be ineffective we need a solution that is effective, eco- friendly and easy to use.

The unique product Termirepel™ manufactured by C Tech Corporation is an anti-insect aversive which repels insects.

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, 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.

Termirepel™ is available in the form of the masterbatch, which can be incorporated into the polymeric applications.

The product available in the form of liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints in a predetermined ratio and be applied on the fences in the garden to keep the pest away from these places.

Our product in the lacquer form can be applied topically to the applications. The lacquer is compatible with most of the surfaces like wood, concrete, metal, polymer, ceramic, etc. The lacquer can be applied on the trunks of trees thus protecting it from damage.

The lacquer can be applied to the tree trunks protecting it from the attacks. The product is also effective against other pests thus protecting the trees from other pest attacks.

Termirepel^TM insect repellent spray is an easy to use product specially designed for residential use.

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 does not volatilize and does not degrade the soil. It is RoHS, RoHS2, RoHS3, REACH, APVMA, NEA compliant and FIFRA exempted.

As one of the world’s most common household pests, keeping rats out of your home is a year-round job. However, dropping temperatures means outdoor food and water sources become scarcer during the winter month, so rats are more likely to seek food and shelter indoors at this time of year. And since rats breed quickly, an infestation can present a serious health hazard to anyone living nearby.

On top of that, recent news have surfaced of a possible surge in rats invading people’s homes this winter season. According to The Sun, up to 120 million rats might seek shelter in people’s homes in the UK. While The National Pest Management Association reports that each winter around 21 million homes in the US are invaded by rodents and that rodents are the biggest pest concern in America right now. Therefore, you should really think about winterizing your home against rats and mice.

After all, it’s the best way to prevent a potentially costly problem, as this can stop rats from getting into your house in the first place. So, read on for the most effective preventative steps for winterizing your house against rats, so you can stay pest-free in winter and throughout the year.

Top tips for winterizing your house against rodents

Block off entry points

The first thing you can do to keep rats out of your house is to limit their options for entry. This means blocking up all holes, gaps, and cracks in the exterior of your house, no matter how small!

Pay attention to the gaps around windows, under doors and around pipes and drains in particular. When you find holes, seal them up with caulk or wire mesh, and install screens and sweeps on windows and doors to stop rats getting in.

Use a rat repellent

Rat repellent products can be applied to surfaces around your home to keep rodents away. The chemicals used in Rodrepel^TM and Combirepel^TM products are completely safe and non-toxic. They work by driving rats away from treated areas and dissuading them from coming near your house.

Available in the form of sprays, lacquers, liquid concentrates, masterbatches and wood polish, Rodrepel^TM can be applied to floors, wire skirting boards, and around possible rat entry points. This can effectively protect your home from invasion and also prevent rats from chewing through wires and cables in your house. As a non-toxic formulation, these products are safe to use in the home and will have no adverse effects on humans or pets.

Lay out non-toxic rat monitoring baits

Non-toxic rat monitoring baits are an effective preventative tool against rats, as they can act as your first warning sign that there are rodents near or inside your house.

Set up these rat biomarkers around entry and harborage points (such as near garbage cans, pipes, behind kitchen appliances and in cupboards) and then check these spots regularly. If you see either biofluorescent or red or pink-colored rat droppings (depending on which type of biomonitoring baits you use) you will be sure that a rat infestation is taking place and will be able to act immediately.

Keep your kitchen clean and your garbage under control

Outdoor food sources can become scarce during winter, so your pantry can easily lure rats indoors. Food waste, dirty utensils, improperly stored food and overflowing garbage can all bring hoards of rats indoors. Therefore, keeping your kitchen clean and your waste organized is a big part of winterizing your home against rodents.

Make sure all food mess and spills are cleaned up immediately, store food in the refrigerator or in sealed, airtight containers and make sure you take out the trash regularly. Kitchen waste should be disposed of outside daily, ideally in rat-proof garbage containers kept at least 10-20 feet from the house.

Clear away outdoor clutter

Shrubs, long grass, garbage cans, recycling, old furniture and firewood stacks are all common harborage sites for rats. If you have a lot of clutter around the outside of your house this can encourage rodents to nest nearby, raising the risk of them finding their way indoors.

Prune your plants, clear away any disused furniture and boxes and store garbage and firewood at 10-20 feet from your house to keep rats at a safe distance.š

Conclusion

Winter is the time of year when your house is most vulnerable to attack from pests, and rats are one of the biggest home invaders. These common pests often come indoors in search of food and water, especially when outdoor temperatures are low, and conditions are hostile. Fortunately, protecting your home from rats is easily done if you take the proper preventative steps.

Sealing up entry points, setting up monitoring baits, laying out rat repellents and staying on top of your kitchen cleaning and waste are all effective measures against rat invasion. Winterize your home against rodents before the cold weather kicks in to reduce your chances of a rat infestation this winter.
