That furry little blur you just saw zip across in front of your farm?  Those brown, rice-shaped droppings behind the stored grains?  O.K, how much trouble can a couple of rodents be?

The problem with rodents and insects/termites sharing the crop harvest is probably as old as the culture of agriculture. Each rat on a farm will eat, spoil or damage approximate $25 worth of grain per year. So, stop being a rodent’s landlord!! Rodents and insects have been a problem on farms where food and nesting sites are plentiful. These pests consume and contaminate food destined for livestock and other animals, as well as humans. Rodents also serve as vectors or reservoirs of a variety of disease such as leptospirosis, salmonellosis and murine typhus that are transmittable to humans.

Taking food from our table     

 More than 90% of world’s rice is produced in Asia. Rodents and insect pests cause losses to production up to 5-10% per annum. In Asia alone, the rice loss every year caused by rodents could feed about 200 million people. Damage to crops in Africa and South America is equally dramatic.

COTTON FARMERS WORRY AS RODENTS DESTROY THEIR CROPS

D Vincent Arockiaraj | TNN | May 12, 2019

NAGAPATTINAM: Voracious rodents have raided hundreds of acres of cotton crops in Thirumarugal of Nagapattinam district, causing extensive damage to farmers who lamented the loss could amount to lakhs of rupees.

Worried farmers’ unions said that the rodents, if left uncontrolled, could wreak further havoc to their remaining crops, and requested to the agriculture department to extend a helping hand to curb the infestation and announce monetary help.

Farmers in Perunattrangudi, Thennamarakudi, Thirukannapuram, and Thiruchettangudi have raised cotton on 600 acres, with expectation of high yield and better profit. This time, however, their hopes were dealt a crushing blow, after the rodents began raiding their lands.

FALL ARMYWORM INVADES CROPS ACROSS ASIA, SMALL FARMERS WORST HIT

Reuters BAN NONG TOR | June 20, 2019

Looking out at his empty, red-earth field, Thai farmer Puang Timdon said his two-week-old maize crop didn’t stand a chance against the fall armyworm pest.

“All the 8 rai (1.28 hectare) I planted were all heavily infested,” said the 42-year-old from his farm in Ban Nong Tor town in Pak Chong district, 180 km (120 miles) northeast of the capital Bangkok.“The worm ate the whole field in three days, leaving so much damage that it wasn’t worth saving.”

Fall armyworm, a caterpillar that got the name because it invades crop lands in droves, much like an army, has rapidly spread across Asia since it was detected in southern India late last year. Fields in Bangladesh, Myanmar, Vietnam, Indonesia and Taiwan have fallen victim. In Thailand, it has badly affected the country’s corn crop, much of which is sold to the animal feed industry.

TO INCREASE THE YEILD

Farmers worldwide are leaving no stone unturned to increase the yield of crops. The adaptability and agility of the pests make getting rid of them particularly impossible. Given the threats to the agricultural world from rodents and insects, farmers started using plastic agricultural films to increase the yield and at the same time, the films act as a barrier from pests. Agricultural films have been laid on a range of crops during or after planting as a way of retaining moisture and acting as a form of the greenhouse to improve plant growth. But it’s a proven fact that using agricultural films doesn’t solve the rodent/pests problem. Major constraints to banana production, a dietary staple for over 70 million people in sub-Saharan Africa are pest infestations and poor nutrition. Although mulch can improve soil water and nutrient status it also promotes the proliferation of banana weevil, one of the most serious banana pests. To protect crops from rodents and pests cases have been recorded where people have become so desperate that they have caused permanent environmental disruption where they have dynamited caverns, burnt down forests, adjacent to their fields or they have resorted to lethal rodent control devices that have killed humans or abandoned the otherwise productive area.

Currently, only toxic rodenticides are used which should be curbed as soon as possible. Being toxic in nature they come with a set of liabilities. Thus, there is a need for an innovative, eco-friendly and non-toxic solution to get rid of pests and rodents problems.

Do you have difficulty in finding a solution to pest’s problem on your farm?  Well, wait no more!  There is now a solution well developed to aid your needs in getting rid of rodents and pests in your fields.  Employing innovative masterbatch formulation techniques on agricultural films and focusing on environmental norms is the need of the hour.  Rodrepel^TM, Termirepel^TM, Combirepel™, are non-toxic and non-hazardous patented solutions developed by C Tech Corporation, has been successful in keeping away rodents, termites/insects from plastic materials in a non-toxic and non-hazardous way.

Those fine-feathered ‘peeping’ chicks which move in and take over all sorts of property are terribly annoying and cause serious problems. Yes, the pigeons of course!

Pigeons can be found deep within cities and all the way out to some suburban areas as well. And these birds are considered to be prolific breeders, so, where you see a few, there are sure to be many more.

Pigeons occur worldwide except in the coldest regions and the most remote islands. About 250 species are known; two-thirds of them occur in tropical Southeast Asia, Australia, and the islands of the western Pacific, but the family also has many members in Africa and South America and a few in temperate Eurasia and North America.

Pigeons can be a real nuisance, there’s no doubt. And trying to induce them to move along can be stressful. Pigeons are fairly dirty birds. They carry a host of diseases and parasites and leave pounds of droppings each year. Some of them are Histoplasmosis, Candidiasis, Cryptococcosis, Psittacosis, etc.

Let us have a look at some reported news for the pigeon menace:

Two patients died after pigeon poo infection they contracted at hospital

Zoe Drewett │22^nd January 2019

Two patients contracted a fungal infection linked to pigeon poo that was discovered inside a hospital just before their deaths.

Greater Glasgow and Clyde NHS Trust launched its own investigation after it found droppings in a non-public area of the hospital were the likely cause of the dangerous infection.

The health board said they are still investigating the cause of one patient’s death but previously said the second affected, who was elderly, died of an unrelated matter.

Both patients had contracted the infection while at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.

Former Scottish health secretary Alex Neil has called for an inquiry into their deaths as it emerged the infections were discovered in December, with filters brought in on January 10 to deal with the issue.

He told BBC Scotland: ‘I think there has to be an outside inquiry by experts to find why this happened in the first place, secondly how it has been handled by the health board and, thirdly, what precautions need to be taken for the future.

‘There are confusing messages coming out of the health board so they need to clarify the situation and do so as a matter of urgency.’

The infection is caused by inhaling the fungus Cryptococcus, primarily found in soil and pigeon droppings. NHSGCC said a likely source was found in a non-public area away from wards and the droppings were removed.

Pigeon infestation leads to walkout at primary school

Teachers of the Raghunanan Road Government Primary School in Enterprise, walked off the compound earlier today after complaining about the health hazard posed by pigeon droppings which litter the school.

The teachers cited the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act section 15 as the basis for their walkout.

Section 15 (a) and (c) states that an employee “may refuse to work or do particular work where he has sufficient reason to believe that— (a) there is serious and imminent danger to himself or unusual circumstances have arisen which are hazardous or injurious to his health or life; (c) the physical condition of the workplace or the part thereof in which he works or is to work is likely to endanger himself.”

In a telephone interview, TTUTA president Lynsley Doodhai said the problem has existed at the school for some time and teachers had exercised a considerable amount of patience and had remained at the school in the hope the Ministry of Education would intervene in the situation.

“There are pigeon droppings on the walls and floor and posing a health risk to the teachers and the students. Seven teachers have fallen ill and have had to seek medical attention and it has been ongoing for a while now and teachers have been very patient hoping that something would be done, and nothing has been done to date.”

People consider anti-roosting spikes which create an ‘unperchable’ environment and discourage the pigeon. But the spacing between the spikes does allow smaller birds, such as crows, starlings, house sparrows, magpies and gulls, etc. to be fearless from landing or roosting. And even these birds have been found causing a nuisance.

Commercial gel-repellent used causes irritation to human eyes and eyelids can become glued together on contact. This clearly suggests that repellent gel can also glue the eyes of birds together.

So, what can be done about these pesky pigeons, and how can you prevent damage to your home, balcony, terrace, courtyard, and just about anything pigeons can destroy? 

There is a solution with C Tech Corporation to keep the birds away from perching and roosting.

Combirepel^TM Bird repellent gel lacquer is a product produced by C Tech Corporation to prevent the menace caused by birds. This product is specially designed to prevent birds perching and roosting.

It is available in the form of concentrate lacquer. The product causes the bird’s pain receptors associated with taste. Some birds use their sense of smell through which they recognize that the product is a threat. The product is specially designed to prevent perching and roosting of birds. Repellent evokes a physiological effect that the birds associated with the sensory cue and then learn to avoid it.

The product is also available in the form of a spray, Bye Bye Birdy bird repellent spray which can be easily sprayed on window ledges, roofs, etc. to avoid perching of birds.

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

Rats and mice can be found in and around every town and farm in the country. It is estimated that there is one rat for every person living in the United States. Rodents have followed man to almost all parts of the world. They have no respect for social class; they are equal opportunity pests.

Man supplies their three basic needs: food, shelter, and water.

Rodents can be found in our homes, supermarkets, restaurants, livestock pens, and farm fields. Warehouses, grain mills, elevators, silos are especially vulnerable to rodent infestation. And even the fire stations!

Yes, you read it right.

There have been incidences documented for rat infesting a fire station.

Firefighters are known to run into harm’s way to protect the community and save lives, but in case of a rat infestation, they’re the ones in need of saving.

Rodents will eat anything man or his livestock eats. The rodents 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.

Rats! Infestation forces firefighters from Riverside South station

Megan Gillis

Published:April 2, 2017

A rat infestation has forced firefighters to temporarily move out of their station at 910 Earl Armstrong Rd. while city officials and exterminators deal with the rodents.

Fire officials said they learned of the concern Saturday, when as many as 30 rats were reportedly discovered around Fire Station 37 in Riverside South.

The firefighters stationed there were quickly reassigned to neighbouring Fire Stations 44 and 32.

“Upon further investigation it was confirmed that rodents had built nests on the outside of the building and also burrowed their way into of a small vestibule inside the fire station,” said Ottawa Fire Service spokeswoman Danielle Cardinal, who said the main focus is ensuring the building and grounds are free of rats.

“The next step entails monitoring the air quality inside of the Fire Station to ensure it is safe for firefighters to return,” said Cardinal. “Air testing is underway and the recommendations provided by the environmental engineer will determine when the structure will be fully operational.”

Rats force Texas firefighters to abandon firehouse

The move comes after one firefighter recently got sick; the chief said some of them are the size of small puppies

Oct 9, 2015

News4SanAntonio

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas — A rat infestation has forced New Braunfels firefighters and paramedics to temporarily move out of Station #1 downtown. Now with no tones or emergency alerts and no working trucks, the station is extremely quiet.

Chief Kenneth Jacks said the move is “to keep our guys safe. The safety and health of our personnel is our number one focus.” All of the equipment and personnel were moved out on Monday as a precaution.

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

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

Combirepel^TMis an extremely low in toxicity, extremely low hazard and environmentally safe anti-rodent repellent specially developed for a range of polymeric and coating applications including wires and cables, polymeric hoses, etc.

The products are also available in the form of a solid masterbatch, liquid concentrate, and lacquer.

Time and again there have been news reported for flight delays due to rodent activity spotted on a flight. Many domestic, as well as international flights, have faced delays due to this tiny rodent who possesses the threat of causing huge damages and losses.

Imagine a rat gnawing on a communication or signal cable and making the entire flight incommunicado. Rats on board an aircraft can lead to a catastrophe if they start chewing up electric wires and if that happens, pilots will have no control over the system onboard leading to a disaster.

No doubt you need to maintain good hygiene standards on board. Cleanliness should be an utmost priority. But along with this, you can use products that are non-toxic, safe for humans and which can repel the pests from entering the area.

Let us have a look at the recent news reported for rat causing flight delays and what measures can be taken to avoid such situations in the future.

RAT DELAYS PLANE TAKE OFF FOR 12 HOURS IN INDIA

A domestic flight in India was delayed for nearly 12 hours after a rat was spotted scampering around the aircraft, news reports and officials said on Tuesday.

Air India flight AI-952 was preparing for take off from the southern city of Hyderabad for Vishakapatnam, a coastal city, early on Sunday, when the rodent was seen running around the cabin, the Times of India daily reported.

Helpless passengers for the flight were forced to stay put at Hyderabad airport all through the day until airline staff managed to get rid of the rat, the report said.

An Air India official confirmed the incident to dpa, adding that it was being investigated but gave no further details.

The passengers continued on their journey only after staff carried out a fumigation to sanitise the flight and searched for any possible damage caused by the rat.

The report said that there were ugly scenes at the airport as infuriated passengers checked with airline staff when their flight would take off.

Several among them took to social media to express their amusement and anger over the incident.

RAT DELAYS US-BOUND AIR INDIA FLIGHT BY OVER 9 HOURS

Saurabh Sinha | TNN | Updated: Aug 28, 2017

NEW DELHI: A rat on board Air India’s Delhi-San Francisco flight delayed it by over nine hours on Sunday.

The Boeing 777 was taxiing at IGI airport to operate one of the world’s longest nonstop flights when the rodent was spotted. As per safety protocol, it had to be brought back to the terminal and fumigated. Then with a new crew, the almost-full flight (AI 173) finally took off around noon on Sunday instead of the schedule time of 2.30am.

So while fumigation of the aircraft, to ensure that the rodent is eliminated, was over in six hours, it took time to find two commanders and two copilots for this flight. The combined impact was that the plane took off with a delay of nine hours. Passengers were unhappy at the long delay.

An aircraft needs to be fumigated after a rodent is sighted to ensure it is eliminated and does not pose a threat to safety by cutting electric wires and sending the systems haywire. “Rats on board an aircraft can lead to a catastrophe if they start chewing up electric wires of a plane. If that happens, pilots will have no control on any system on board leading to a disaster,” a senior commander said.

What usually leads to such a situation is that passengers inadvertently drop a lot of food on the cabin floor, which keeps rats busy. The most common way for rats to get on board an aircraft is through catering vans. “This is a universal phenomenon. Rats follow the large storage cases in which food trays are kept. The catering vans are like a home for them as food keeps getting dropped. Rats get on the high lifts that take those storage cases to aircraft and then remain there. This happens across the world,” said an official.

Periodic fumigation for pest control is done by airlines to tackle the menace. The use of rat baits, mechanical traps, and glue boards have already proved to be ineffective. But the growing number of incidences reported clearly states the ineffectiveness of these methods.

What effective measures can be implemented to avoid this menace?

Combirepel™ is a product manufactured by C Tech Corporation which is extremely low toxicity and extremely low hazard, and environmentally safe anti-rodent additive specially developed for a range of polymeric and coating applications including films, wires, and cables, etc. It is also effective in case the target species are other animals.

The wires and cables used in the airplanes for radar, communication, control, signaling, data transmission, lighting, surveillance, etc. can be incorporated with  Combirepel™ masterbatch to prevent them from pest attack and ultimately avoid any signaling loss, communication disruption or fire hazard. Different types of polymeric seats can be manufactured by incorporating our masterbatch in them.

Combirepel™  is also available in lacquer and liquid concentrate form and can be easily coated onto an application to repel the rodents.

The liquid concentrate can be blended with paints and applied to the interior and exterior of the airplanes to prevent the entry of pests in them. The liquid concentrate can be applied to the interior and exterior of the airports and the offices. The storage areas from the airports can be coated with our liquid concentrate to keep those places safe from pest menace. The liquid concentrate can be used in accommodation areas of pilots and crew members. The liquid concentrate is compatible with all types of paints and it dries off easily.

The lacquer can be applied to already installed wires and cables, utility pipes, polymeric and metallic racks, pallets. The already installed arrestor cables can be coated using our Rodrepel™ lacquer which will prevent the rodents from chewing them. The lacquer can be applied to metallic components from the equipment. The lacquer is an easy application that is compatible with most of the surfaces like wood, concrete, polymer, ceramics, concrete, etc.

We have developed our product in the form of a spray, the Rodrepel^TM rodent repellent spray which is an easy to use product. The product can be sprayed on components from airplanes, offices, kitchen and canteen areas, storage areas, food carts, trolley cars, etc. after clearing the dust and waste from components. It can be sprayed on the wires and cables, seat cushions, doors, and windows of airplanes. It can be sprayed on infested areas and entry points. The product when applied properly repels the pests and protects the components from damage. The expensive components can thus be protected, and unnecessary maintenance cost spent on replacement of the parts damaged by pests can be saved. The product does not cause any harmful effect on human health, non-target species or even target species. The product is safe for the environment.

One often plans a lot while buying a home. Investing your entire savings into your dream home! But some tiny creatures can cause a huge damage to the structures freaking you out.

Have you experienced strange rustlings in the night? A number of people are waking to the frightening sound of rats and mice scratching around their homes.

At this time of year, when cold weather forces rats and mice indoors to nest and hunt for food, infestations can multiple, with rodents spreading disease as well as causing damage by chewing through wiring, pipes and brickwork.

They’re dirty. They bite. They are carriers of diseases, bacteria and parasites. They infest human spaces, cause damage, contaminate food, set up home where they’re not wanted (everywhere) and businesses are forced to spend money on robust pest control measures to keep their numbers under control.

Latest news reported is as follows:

RAT ATTACK 

Super rats up to 20 inches long are invading British homes via toilets and drainpipes – is YOUR house at risk?

• Dan Hall
• 15 Oct 2019, 10:55

THEY say you’re never more than six feet away from a rat — but if you have plastic drainpipes in your home, you’re probably even closer.

Pest controllers are warning that millions of super-size disease-ridden rodents are scurrying into houses after gnawing through plastic drainpipes as temperatures plummet.

While traditionally drainpipes were made from cast iron, most modern drainpipes are plastic and pest control experts are warning that rats with razor sharp teeth can chew through them.

Although they normally live underground, rats go in search of food and warmth at this time of year – and houses across the UK are at risk of invasion as we face the coldest winter in 30 years.

Massive increase in rats this year

Peter Higgs, who runs PGH Pest Control in Surrey, says he’s seen a massive increases in the numbers of rats he’s found inside UK homes over the past few weeks – and says they can get into houses via holes as small as half an inch.

Horrifyingly, they can also get in through toilets via the sewage system – though this is rare.

“British homes are the perfect hunting ground for rats and we’ve noticed a massive, massive increase in the amount of them,” he tells us.

“Most carry Weil’s disease – which can be deadly to humans, so it’s very important to protect your home by cramming holes with filler and wire brushes where possible.

Similar news was reported in the year 2018.

UK rat INVASION: 120 million rodents heading straight for Brit HOMES this winter

BRITAIN’S 120million-strong rat population is on the move and heading straight for our homes.

By Robin Cottle │Daily Star │ October 6, 2018

GNAW BLIMEY: Rats are seeking shelter from the cold in people’s homes

The disease-ridden vermin are seeking shelter as the cold winter months set in.

Pest control boss Paul Bates says the critters are on the hunt for somewhere “warm and cosy” to build nests.

Call-outs are set to rise by 40% in coming weeks.

The rodent invasion is set to cause millions of pounds worth of damage as they spark fires by gnawing through electric cables and beams.

A “double whammy” of conditions caused by the recent heatwave made rats even more likely to head for our homes, said Paul, of Cleankill Pest Control.

He claimed the scorching heat caused more of them to come out of hiding looking for water.

The expert warned Brits to “act now” and shore up homes as a blast of Arctic air threatens to send temperatures plummeting.

A Cleankill spokesman said: “At a time when we feel like bolting our doors and keeping the cold out, it’s not surprising mice and rats try to join us.”

Since these rodents are very common most of the people tend to get rid of them by using do it yourself methods like spray, traps, chemicals, ultrasonic repellers, etc. but are they really effective and harmless to humans? Moreover, you can see that the number of rodents invading our homes is increasing each year.

Mechanical traps stop working once a mechanical error occurs. The ultrasonic repeller works only when you have a power supply nearby. The commonly used pest repellents contain diethyl toluamide which is harmful to humans and pests. Glue boards and rat baits are more dangerous because there are cases where people have accidentally stuck to them.

So what can be a novel approach towards these rodent infestations?

We, at C Tech Corporation, manufacture a range of extremely low toxicity, extremely low hazard, and environment-friendly pest repellent products.

Our products are a blend of green chemistry and smart technology.

Our product Combirepel™ is an extremely low toxic, low hazard rodent and animal 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 is compliant with ROHS, ROHS2, ISO, REACH, APVMA, NEA, EU BPR, and FIFRA exempted.

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 a solid masterbatch, liquid concentrate, lacquer, and wood polish additive.

The products are available in the form of a solid masterbatch, liquid concentrate, lacquer, and wood polish additive.

The product available in the form of solid masterbatch can be incorporated into polymeric applications like wires and cables, pipes, etc. Thereby making the end application rodent resistant.

The product available in the form of liquid concentrate can be diluted in paints and can be applied over the interior and exterior of the house, garages, etc. The liquid concentrate is compatible with all kinds of paints and solvents.

The already installed cables, pipes, and other application can be coated with our lacquer to protect them from the rodents gnawing on this application and thus preventing the damage. The lacquer is a transparent product and it does not wear off easily.

The wood polish additive can be blended with wood polish and applied on the wooden articles and furniture.

Our newly developed product is in the form of a spray which is an easy to use product. It can be sprayed on the infested area to repel the rodents and prevent them from entering the premises.

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

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.

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 Rodrepel^TM 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.

Rodrepel^TM 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 Rodrepel^TM 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 Rodrepel^TM, homes, farms, and gardens can be prevented from roof rat damage effectively and considerably.

Nicknamed “silent destroyers,” termites seek out moisture-damaged homes and chew through wood, flooring and even wallpaper — causing structural damage that is typically not covered by homeowners’ insurance.

Discarded wings, near window sills and doors, or baseboards, as well as in spiderwebs, are often the only outwardly visible sign of an infestation. Subterranean termites build mud tubes found near the home’s foundation to provide moisture while they travel between their colony and food source.

Wood that is soft and sounds hollow when tapped, or dark and blistering pieces of wood.

Another sign may include quiet clicking sounds coming from the walls. Soldier termites bang their heads against the wood or shake their bodies when the colony is disturbed to signal danger to the other termites. The worker termites, which are the ones who love eating woodwork, are noisy eaters.

So, if you find any of the above symptoms in your house, you’ve suddenly got a major issue on your hands.

Invasive termites now feeding on native trees, creating a hazard during storms

Posted: August 06, 2019

By: Michelle Quesada

Recent afternoon thunderstorms are revealing a big pest problem in Palm Beach County: invasive termites in live trees.

The termites are weakening native trees causing them to snap during storms.

Homes in South Florida are already being impacted by the aggressive and invasive Asian subterranean termite species, now so are trees.

“When termites swarm and fly, that’s oftentimes how we know they are in a house, but with the colony being out in the tree, they’re flying and swarming outside so they’re not giving us that sign that they’re in the structure,” said Paul Sugrue, Technical Director at Nozzle Nolen in West Palm Beach. “So they’re even more cryptic which is dangerous.”

Sugrue said one of his customers recently had pine trees snap in a storm> Inside he found a colony of subterranean termites.

“When they hollow it out to nest in it, then you’ve definitely for a threat of a hazard of them falling over,” said Sugrue.

Destructive ‘super-termites’ discovered in La Mesa

By Amanda Brandeis │ 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.

“Unlike native subterranean termites, the termites we observed were extremely active, didn’t flee when disturbed, and the soldiers went into attack mode. They had hollowed out large areas of structural wood, always staying just beneath the exterior paint and unnoticed by the homeowner,” said Garrett Thrasher.

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.

Invasive species of termites spreading in Palm Beach County

By Michelle Quesada │ October 01, 2018

Exterminators are seeing more cases of an invasive species of termites in parts of Palm Beach County. The Asian Subterranean termite is most commonly found in West Palm Beach, Riviera Beach, Singer Island. Experts believe they first came in through the Port of Palm Beach.

Nozzle Nolen exterminators found the invasive species of termites at John F. Kennedy’s bunker on Peanut Island. Crews treated the bunker, old Coast Guard house and boathouse for the invasive species and then tented the buildings for dry wood termites.

“They really just move with the breeze, they’re not strong flyers,” said Paul Sugrue, an entomologist and technical director at Nozzle Nolen.

Unless the termites swarm or you have visible damage in your home, you don’t really know they are there.

“I’m not the kind that tries to scare people, but they can literally make your home collapse,” said Sugrue.

Sugrue said the termites can eat a foot of wood a day.

Vinny Persad grew up in Riviera Beach. He says he owns several homes and renovates them for Section 8 housing. He said a few weeks ago he thought one of his homes had subterranean termites.

To get the solution, why not we opt for the low hazard, low-toxic, and eco- friendly products provided by C Tech Corporation.

We all know of the intrinsic affinity rats have to polymeric materials like wires and cables. This affinity causes us a lot of damage on a daily basis in various sectors like telecommunications, pipeline, automobiles, etc. Of these rodents target the automobile sector to a great extent!

Rodents due to their growing incisors need something to gnaw on in order to reduce their incisors length. Practically, rodents gnaw at everything they can get their hands on. They are attracted to the smell and color of plasticizers used in our wires and cables. They attack wires and cables in all applications; be it indoors or outdoors. I am sure many of you might have experienced trouble getting your car started especially in winters. One of the main reasons for this is the rats.  Rats make their way into our car hoods during winters as the hoods provide a perfect refuge from the outside cold. After all, we all need a warm place and ready food. Our car hoods provide the perfect ‘cozy place’ and the car wires inadvertently become something to ‘munch on’ for these creatures!

Once they make a way into the automobiles, they gnaw at the engine wiring and damage it. They may also target the interiors of cars chewing through the seat covers and other foam material inside! The end result is a lot of monetary loss and heartache that can be easily avoided. Let us take a look at the below news article;

Rat causes R154,000 damage to Porsche

Good to gnaw: One rodent could cost you your car, so learn how to protect yourself

Wendy Knowler

13 August 2019

After rat damage, the repair bill for a prized Porsche Carrera 4S Cabriolet was a hefty R154.000. File picture

Lots of awful things can happen to a car – crashes, hijackings, hailstone damage, break-ins, flooding – but few people who take out insurance consider the destructive power of rats.

From chewing on essential wiring to building nests and hiding food inside the engine, a nesting rat with a taste for wiring insulation can be quite the wrecking furball.

When Micheal Maeso of Mount Edgecombe, KwaZulu-Natal, took his prized Porsche Carrera 4S Cabriolet on a spin recently, just three weeks after a full service was done, he noticed the oil pressure gauge wasn’t working.

Back to the Porsche dealership the car went, and that’s how the resident rat, and the damage it had caused before it died, was discovered.

“I was horrified,” Maeso said, “but I suppose living in areas that were previously cane fields, these things happen.”

The repair bill was a hefty R154,000.

Luckily for him, his claim was settled by his insurer, Hollard, via his broker, TIB Insurance Brokers.

Dublin woman tells how car was written off after rat destroyed part of vehicle

Dublin City Council is now facing renewed calls to tackle an ongoing rat problem in the city centre flat complex

By Mark O’brien

15^th July 2019

A woman has told how her car was written off after a RAT gnawed on the timing belt.

Pauline Nolan had a lucky escape after a rat got in under the bonnet of her silver 2005 Ford Fiesta and destroyed the engine.

Dublin City Council is now facing renewed calls to tackle an ongoing rat problem in the city centre flat complex.

Pauline, who lives in the flat complex on Cuffe Street, told the Irish Mirror: “On Friday morning I was driving out, turned on my engine and heard a bang or a pop.

“I reversed out and the rat was dead beside me. I hate them so I just kept going, which was quite dangerous.”

By the time Pauline reached her destination the car completely seized.

“When the AA chap came out, he had a look at it and you could see the traces of the rats and everything.”

The rat got trapped in the timing belt of the car and twisted it.

Pauline added: “I was absolutely lucky I wasn’t involved in a collision or my brakes could have gone if they chewed on the wires.

“I could have hit somebody. Somebody was looking after me the way it happened but unfortunately my car is a write off.”

As detailed in this interesting news article, the incidences of damaged have just been increasing at an alarming rate! Efforts need to be taken to ensure that our costly investment is protected from the wrath of these creatures.

Barely visible to the naked eye, the insect and its egg sacs are covered with a waxy, white ‘wool’. The sacs, most prominent in late spring, look like the tips of small cotton swabs clinging to the base of hemlock needles. An adult individual body length is typically 0.8 mm and is oval in shape. The tiny brown-colored insect has four thread-like stylets that are bundled together and function as a mouthpart.

A tree infested with the hemlock wooly adelgid can die within a few years. This serious pest has destroyed thousands of acres of trees.

The hemlock woolly adelgid feeds on the sap at the base of the host tree’s needles. This disrupts the flow of nutrients, slows the growth and causes the tree’s dark green needles to discolor and turn grayish green, eventually falling off. Lack of nutrients causes the tree to starve to death, usually within three to ten years.  It is quickest in areas where there are other pests, diseases or environmental stressors present.

The Hemlock Woolly Adelgid lives and feeds on hemlock trees, the eastern hemlock and Carolina hemlock neither of which are evolved to resist the pest. After the eggs hatch, the nymphs, or crawlers, move to the new needles of the tree and attach to the base of the needles to feed on the starch reserves and nutrients. This causes the needles to desiccate, dry up and prevents the growth of buds. The dead needles fall off, and the decrease of buds prevents new growth. 

The hemlocks could also be reacting to the infestation by producing abnormal xylem, which could obstruct water movement and lead to the death of the tree because of water stress.

Insect in hemlock forests causes loss of canopy, gain of invasive plants

By Sarah Yang, Media Relations | 26 May 2009 -UC Berkley News

BERKELEY — Deep in the hemlock forests of the Eastern United States, a tiny, aphid-like insect may be playing a giant role in transforming an ecosystem, according to new research by ecologists at the University of California, Berkeley.

It’s been well-documented that the spread of the hemlock woolly adelgid, an exotic pest native to Asia and introduced to the Eastern United States in the 1950s, has led to a decline of the shade-providing canopy in forests of eastern hemlock trees. The insect (Adelges tsugae) sucks fluid from the base of hemlock needles, causing the needles to drop and the branches to die

The new study has found that this loss of canopy is also setting the stage for the successful invasion of non-native plants. The canopy decline leads to even greater invasion of non-native plants when combined with a high concentration of the plants’ seeds and white-tailed deer in the affected area.

Hemlock die-off having major impact in Smokies

By Morgan Simmons of the Knoxville News Sentinel July 11, 2016

TOWNSEND — On a recent summer afternoon, the Anthony Creek Trail at the west end of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park presented stark contrasts between sunlight and shadow.

Much of the trail was shaded beneath the branches, but in patches of forest where the hemlocks had died, the ground was bathed in bright light. Beneath these gaps in the canopy grew various sun-loving species like blackberry and wild grape. High winds had pruned the dead hemlocks of their limbs and their tops, and the trees still standing looked ready to fall, too.

Forests throughout the Smokies are undergoing a major ecological shift due to the hemlock die-off caused by the hemlock woolly adelgid, a nonnative forest insect pest that was discovered in the park in 2002. Trees that for years have suffered in a state of decline are now dead and toppling to the ground, creating a void that forestry experts say will affect everything from stream temperatures to forest composition.

Hemlocks are considered a “keystone” species, meaning that they play a critical ecological role. The dense shade provided by their branches keeps the soil underneath from drying out, creates cool habitat during the summer for plants and foraging animals, and protects the same areas during the winter from snow and wind, again providing habitat and food. 

Control measures for forest trees are limited. Also, the used control measures are ineffective, but the damage is still on.

How to deal with this?

C Tech Corporation can offer an eco-friendly solution to problems from Hemlock Woolly Adelgid. Our product Combirepel^TM is extremely low-toxic, low-hazard and insect aversive. 

Combirepel^TM is available in lacquer form. These products can be directly applied to the application as a topical application. It can be applied on the tree trunks to keep the trees safe from Hemlock Woolly Adelgid. The lacquer is compatible with most of the surfaces like wood, metal, concrete, polymers, ceramics, etc

Our Combirepel^TM masterbatch can be incorporated with various polymeric applications like tree guards, pipes, wires and cables, agricultural and other protective films, etc. while they are manufactured. This will prevent the pests from damaging the polymeric application.

Combirepel^TM is available in liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints and be applied to interior and exterior of houses, offices, kitchens, pantries, warehouses, bathrooms, attics, etc. It can be applied on the fences around the gardens, lawns, farms, etc.

Our product 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.

Our product is compliant with RoHS, RoHS2, RoHS3, ISO, APVMA, NEA and REACH and is FIFRA exempted. The green technology-based product can protect our living spaces and prevent the loss caused by the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid and other insects as well.

Thus using our products you can get an effective solution to fight menace caused by HWA and many such insects!

There have been reports of bed bugs, ants and termites in schools, forcing administrators to cancel classes until the problem is fixed.

Termites eat non-stop, 24 hours 7 days a week. They feed on wood, paper, anything that is made of cellulose. The fact that they are found in schools states that the schools provide an abundance of cellulose material essential for their survival.

School facing termite woes

Tuesday, 21 May 2019

JOHOR BARU: One of the state’s oldest special schools, SK Pen­didikan Khas Princess Elizabeth, is in dire need of repairs as some of its buildings have been infested by termites.

The affected areas include the school’s assembly hall, several classrooms, the surau and the canteen.

The ceilings and beams in the school, which was built in 1953, have also been damaged by termites.

State Education, Human Res­ource, Science and Technology Committee chairman Aminolhuda Hassan, who visited the school yesterday, said the Education Ministry had been alerted.

“We are awaiting a report from the ministry. The school building is 66 years old.

“The Public Works Department issued a notice in July last year to cordon off the hall as heavy rain and termite infestation had caused multiple holes in the roof,” he added.
