Combirepel Non Toxic Non hazardous animal, rodent and insect repellant

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.

Termites at Veterans Memorial High School cost CCISD $200,000

Beatriz Alvarado, Corpus Christi Caller Times November 26, 2018

Veterans Memorial High School has a termite problem that has cost the district $199,500. 

The Corpus Christi ISD board of trustees approved the expenditure in April for termite remediation at the 3-year-old campus, according to the board’s April 23 consent agenda. 

Elite Exterminating, a Corpus Christi company, was hired to do the work. 

Termites were found in a workroom, an agricultural science room, in an office and in several areas along the building’s perimeter. The entire campus was treated over a period of two weeks at the beginning of the summer break, spokeswoman Leanne Libby said.

The species which decorate the skies have gradually but surely become a nuisance for humans.

Sparrows, pigeons, and starlings are very messy when they are making their nests.  They can spread out over several feet interfering with the chimney pipes and vents that are on the roof.  It can be easy to spot if the pest birds have gotten a start on their nest building; protruding sticks and other debris, along with bird droppings.  Sparrows are known to enter hidden away areas like broken roof tiles and can fit into an area the size of an egg.  

Fleas, mites, and ticks are also commonly found in bird droppings.  Inhaling the spores that are released when the bird dropping and nests are disturbed can cause very dangerous conditions such as histoplasmosis.  Histoplasmosis is an infection that can vary in symptoms and seriousness.  It usually affects the lungs.  The lung infection can be short-term to chronic.  Eliminating pest bird droppings is serious business and is an issue that should not be dismissed.

‘We’re getting concerned’: Bird waste causing damage to major bridge on Oregon coast

July 11, 2019

ASTORIA, OR (KPTV) – Thousands of birds have taken over a major bridge on the Oregon coast, causing a major headache for the Department of Transportation.

According to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, as many as 10,000 double crested cormorants have set up shop under the Astoria-Megler bridge, building nests, and leaving behind a major mess.

“There’s so much now, excrement covering the bridge, we’re getting concerned about that,” Lou Torres, a spokesperson for ODOT said.

Cormorant guano, it turns out, is highly acidic, so the droppings they leave behind on the bridge eat away at the bridge’s paint.

The most recent paint job on the bridge, which was just finished in 2018, cost close to $75 million.

In London, damage caused by pigeon droppings to monuments in Trafalgar Square is well documented.

The Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission in 1986 calculated that the annual cost for cleaning statuary was £14,000 and the annual cost for cleaning paving was £91,000.

Anti-perching wires, spikes, trapping have all been implemented but have failed in keeping the birds away from the structures. An effective solution is required to save the big bucks spent on the maintenance of these structures.

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

Combirepel^TM Bird repellent gel lacquer is the 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 gel 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 which the birds associated with a sensory cue and then learn to avoid it.

The product is anti-corrosive and water resistant and has no effect of UV light on it. The product is transparent and is compatible with most of the surfaces which are easy to apply.

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

If your power has ever gone out on a beautiful day, you may have been the victim of a squirrelly attack. 

That’s because squirrels are responsible for an impressive number of electrical issues each year. 

The theory is that that endless growing of teeth of the rodents makes chewing an innate need, which is a must because if they don’t have that innate need, teeth will grow through the roof of their mouth.

The usage of soy or plant-based insulation around wires is another reason why the squirrels and other rodents are attracted towards the wires and cables.

In St. Augustine, Florida, a power outage caused by a squirrel damaging key components at a utility station led to a sewage backup, ultimately resulting in 60,000 gallons of untreated sewage flowing into the San Sebastian River.

In Richmond, Virginia, a squirrel short-circuited a substation, causing a massive power outage which threw sections of Richmond into darkness, disabling traffic signals at several major intersections, closing businesses and schools – including Virginia Commonwealth University – for most of the day.

 Few other power outage stories are as below:

Delayed Kentucky internet project faces new squirrel setback

By Associated Press │June 19 2019

FRANKFORT, Ky. — A project that would bring high-speed internet across Kentucky will be delayed because company representatives say an “abundance” of squirrels have chewed through wiring.

The Courier-Journal reports lawmakers in the state’s capitol questioned reports of ravenous squirrels Tuesday, blocking officials in charge of the KentuckyWired project from borrowing an additional $110 million.

KentuckyWired was started in 2015 under former Gov. Steve Beshear to boost Kentucky’s internet infrastructure. Officials are now saying squirrels damaged cable that was supposed to be up and running in April.

Squirrel causes power outage in Athens

by WTVC

June 16^th 2019

ATHENS, Tenn. — Power has been restored after a squirrel causes an outage in Athens. 

Athens Utility Board (AUB) posted on Facebook this morning, that customers in the area near North Athens Substation on Hwy. 305 (Ingleside Avenue) heard a loud bang, and then power dipped and went out completely.

They say the first responding technician found that a squirrel had got into a pole-top insulator on Old Niota Road near the substation.

That when he met his split-second fate, it burned and destroyed the wire that ties the insulator to the phase of conductor wire.

When this happened, the phase of conductor fell across the cross arms on the top of the pole and went to ground.

AUB says this caused high amperage faults and opened the substation breaker

The phase of conductor was destroyed, frayed and crews had to make a new splice before tying the wire back into service.

The power producing industry has long felt the impact of outages caused by animals entering – and disrupting – substations.

Outages cost the U.S. economy an estimated $80-188 billion every year in lost commercial activity, lowered productivity, consumer dissatisfaction and more.

Utilities are recognizing that while the costs to do actual substation repairs are significant, the cost to repair a reputation is much higher – and they have taken steps over the years to install measures to keep climbing animals at bay.

Engineers and technicians have attempted to prevent or discourage incursions by using an array of methods: squirrel guards, heat shrink tapes and tubing, spinning line guards, screening, greases, pole covers, lights, insulator coatings, decoys, and even live trapping.

These measures have had some temporary success, but they haven’t provided permanent solutions. And hence, an effective and durable solution is the need of the hour.

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

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

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

Our newly developed product, Rodrepel™ Rodent Repellent Spray and Combirepel™ pest repellent spray is an easy to use product which can be sprayed on wires and cables, electronic appliances, cabinets, to avoid the rodents from entering them.

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

Rats and mice cause 8% of all house and building fires in the U.S. In U.S. average 1.6 million home and building catch fires each year. In the last 10 years, more than 194,000 people have been injured in home and building fires, and almost 37,000 people have died. Rodents started 8% of all these fires by chewing through electrical wiring and causing a short circuit. Plastic insulation surrounding electrical wiring exists because electricity is quite hot when it goes through wires. The insulation protects nearby objects from getting overheated. However, when a rat or other rodent has been going after your wires, they leave nothing left but the hot, exposed metal. From there, it’s only a matter of time before the wire either short circuits, causing a spark, or heats up and causes something nearby to ignite. Usually, household insulation or other debris that are stirred up by the rodents are what sets fire.

In the U.S., 30% of all homes contain unwanted rodents. In fact, these rats and mice are known as ‘commensal’ rodents. The term means ‘eating at the same table with’ humans, and they’re called that because they thrive in close proximity to people.

All rodents have prominent, continually growing incisor teeth. Because these teeth never stop growing, rats and mice find pleasure gnawing every day to wear down their teeth. If they don’t, the incisors grow too big to gnaw food, and they can´t feed properly. That’s why they like to make their home where there’s plenty to chew on: between walls, in drop ceilings and subfloors, in attics and garages, behind appliances, and in pantries. 

One pair of mice can make 15,000 more mice in just one year. In addition to starting fires, rats and mice carry 35 known diseases, some of them are fatal, so it’s important to get them out of your home pronto. The solutions such as poison and traps are dangerous to children and pets, leave a mess for you to clean up, and don’t work all that well. 

Let us look at the below article

Monster rats the size of CATS are roaming the streets – and they aren’t afraid of humans

• Giant rats have been running wild through a suburb of Auckland in New Zealand
• One man saw six to 10 rats running up a bank, 30 metres from the shops
• The infestation is said to be a result of locals feeding the wild chickens 

By Charlotte Karp For Daily Mail Australia | 13 June 2019

Giant rats that are as big as cats are terrorizing people in Auckland – and they aren’t afraid of humans, locals say.   

The monster rodents are running wild through Auckland, New Zealand, and authorities are struggling to get the situation under control, Stuff reported.

A local woman said she had to get rats removed from her roof and that she’d seen rats running up the road for the first time in 11 years, while local man Rob Wadmore managed to record the animals running around near a car park.

‘I saw an estimate of about six to 10 rats running up the bank, they didn’t seem scared of human beings .. they were 30 metres from the shops,’ Mr Wadmore said.

• Cat-sized rats have been allegedly terrorising a small village, feasting on food scraps and spreading disease

RATTED OUT 

Family-of-five driven out of their home by plague of ‘2ft long’ U-bend swimming monster rats

The 36-year-old dad says he saw one of the enormous rats swimming back up the toilet

By Annabel Murphy │16th April 2019

A FAMILY have been driven out of their home by a plague of U-bend swimming monster rats.

John Rising, 36, said he and partner Joanne had no option but to quit the rented home in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, with their three sons.

He said they were terrified that the rodents, some nearly 2ft long, would bite them and spread a killer disease with their germs and urine.

John has killed several rats but says more infest the mid-terrace property rented from Cheltenham Borough Homes.

He said: “It started about two months ago and it’s got so bad that we have moved out because the rats were in the kitchen.

“About a month ago my 14-year-old son was in the bathroom and saw one actually in the toilet.

“He called me and I rushed to have a look. I could see the rat’s tail and bum swimming back out of toilet, back up the U-bend.”

C Tech Corporation has come up with a solution called Combirepel™ which will put people at ease by protecting their house from rats and mice. Combirepel™ is a product resulting from smart technology and green chemistry. Rodrepel™ is an extremely low-toxic, extremely low hazardous and environment-friendly aversive and repels all rodents/animals. It is an anti-rodent aversive specially developed for a range of polymeric applications including films, wires, cables, etc. It is also available in the liquid Concentrate form which can be mixed with the paints and lacquer which can be coated on the surface to keep the rodents at bay. Rodents are further restricted from biting the applications treated with our products due to advanced mechanisms.

The newly developed product is in the form of a spray which can be sprayed on any surface to protect it from pest damage. The spray is compatible with most of the surfaces.

What could be the biggest threat to the restaurants?

Could it be the terrorist attack or could it be the flood from the river alongside!? 

To make you wonder, it would be none of the above but an attack by pests!

The presence of pests in restaurants is intolerable. It is just not an unpleasant sight, but is an unhygienic condition as well!

Restaurants are the best source for the rodents to have a great meal for themselves. No restaurant, not even the best in the world, can escape from reports of a mouse infestation and once the mouse is out of the bag, the damage seems to be as news spreads through the press and through word of mouth. These days, eatery owners need to be more vigilant than ever. Every restaurant has the potential to attract mice. The mice enter the kitchen and searching for food in the garbage and a place where they can find food. Once this mouse enters they create a great mess. Rodents are not the only nuisance but can cause property damage and transmit diseases.

Rodents are associated with a number of health risks; these diseases can be spread to humans directly or indirectly through contact with rodents feces, urine, saliva, rodent bites or fleas. Mice and rats also are a potential source of allergens. Their droppings, dander and shed hair can cause people to sneeze and experience other allergic reactions. Mice will chew on the insulation around wires, this has been known to cause a real threat of fire. Mice will even build their nests in large electrical appliances, again chewing on or through insulation and wiring, which can cause the appliance to short circuit, or lead to the risk of fire.

In the past century more than 10 million died from rodent-borne diseases, the major diseases caused by mice are:

Hantavirus: This virus can be transmitted when rodent waste is stirred up

Salmonella: Small rodents known to frequently carry the salmonella bacteria in their digestive tract, it spread through contact with rodent waste

Rat-bite fever: Rat-bite fever can occur in people who have been bitten or infected by the rat or another animal that has been contaminated by a rodent carrying disease

Removing rodents from the trap or poison like pest control will not keep them out of our house or restaurants as there should be a permanent solution to it.

Evidence for the mice in restaurants,

Chinese restaurant so infested with mice that rodent droppings found on food

The restaurant in Manchester ended up forking out £15,000 in fines after droppings were also found on work surfaces and food packages

By Sophie Halle-Richards │1^st June 2019

A Chinatown restaurant that claimed to be of “high quality” was forced to temporarily shut after it was found to be infested with rodents.

Hunan Restaurant in Manchester’s Chinese district was so badly infested that mouse droppings were spotted on its work surfaces and food.

The extent to which the restaurant was infested was only laid bare when Manchester Council’s Environmental Health Officer carried out an inspection.

During the inspection, food packaging was found to have been gnawed on by mice, and mouse droppings were also found on food stock and near food containers.

The inspection also highlighted poor hygiene, with food building up around kitchen equipment, dirty air filters and unclean surfaces.

Access holes for rodents were found in the floor, around pipework and under doors – allowing mice to roam free about the restaurant.

Local country club restaurant shut down after the inspector finds evidence of rodents

A state health inspector temporarily closed the restaurant at an (Orange Country) country club after finding evidence of rodents.

The Rio Pinar Country Club restaurant, called Champions Grill on its website, was closed Dec. 6 after the inspector found dozens of rodent droppings in the kitchen and in storage areas.

The club is located at 8600 El Prado Drive in eastern Orange County.

“More than 20 dark fresh moist rodent droppings on shelves in the storage room in the kitchen area,” one of the violations read, according to the report from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.

The report noted rodent droppings under a dish machine, behind a cooler and in various other areas on the floor and in a plastic bucket.

There were also scratch marks along walls.

The evidence of rodents was among 31 violations the restaurant at the Rio Pinar Country Club totaled during the inspection, including five high-priority violations.

The restaurant was closed for two days until being allowed to reopen Dec. 8 after a follow-up inspection.

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 pests in developing an extremely low-toxic & low-hazardous formulation!

Combirepel™  is an extremely low-toxic, extremely low-hazardous rodent and insect aversive.

  Combirepel™  is a perfect blend of smart technology and green chemistry.

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, RoHS3, APVMA, NEA, and REACH and is FIFRA exempted. Our eco-friendly products do not kill the target species but only repel them.

The products are available in the form of a masterbatch which can be incorporated in pipes, films, cables, etc. while manufacturing. This would result in the final cable or wire being rodent repellent. This would be an efficient way of deterring the rodents from chewing the cables and wires and thus negate the possibility of a short circuit.

While the Combirepel™ liquid concentrate, when diluted in paints, can be used to paint the interior and exterior of the restaurants. It can be applied in the kitchen and food storage areas in restaurants.

Combirepel™  lacquer can be coated topically over the applications which need protection. It can be applied to a variety of surfaces like wood, concrete, metal, polymer, ceramic, etc.

Our Combirepel^TM pest repellent spray is an easy to use product. The spray can be sprayed on infested areas and equipment that need protection from rodents.

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

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

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

A general plot of all scary movies is that there are creatures that live with us and we cannot see them, but we can feel them. What if we told you that this happens in real life too? Before you think that we are going to tell you something far-fetched let us assure you that we are not. We are talking about bedbugs! These tiny bloodsucking creatures are more dangerous than you think. You might know them as the irritating pests that are hard to get rid of but they are capable of much more.

If a bed bug bites then usually the bites can result in a number of health effects including skin rashes, psychological effects, and allergic symptoms. Besides this, in some cases, there can be an occurrence of prominent blisters and fever. And while bed bugs inherently cannot give you diseases the itching can lead to excessive scratching that can sometimes increase the chance of a secondary skin infection.

Given below are pieces of evidence from news articles which on reading you will realize that bedbugs can occur anywhere, even in your city.

Philadelphia ranks No. 1 on list of cities most infested by bed bugs

BY VIRGINIA STREVA

PhillyVoice Staff

JUNE 05, 2019

Philadelphia hadn’t been the No. 1 most bed-bug-ridden city since 2014, but it has reclaimed the top spot for 2019. The City of Brotherly Love had dropped as low as No. 10 in 2017 before climbing back to No. 2 spot in 2018. Cleveland, Ohio, held the top spot in 2018 and 2017.

Terminix reports 22% of Americans have experienced bed bug problems, and for those with children, the percentage rises to 35%.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency classifies bed bugs as “public health pests,” and a 2014 study by Penn Medicine found they can transmit the parasite that causes Chagas disease through their bites. In 2002 they were added to the EPA’s “Lists of Pests of Significant Public Health Importance,” joining other pests and vermin, like lice, cockroaches, mice, and mosquitoes.

A gas sector, from the production of gas to its transportation, gives utmost priority to the safety aspects concerning it. Gas is commonly used in the workplace for heating the work environment and water supplies, cooking and processing products. The gas itself can come from a number of sources including natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and methane. These fuel gases are inflammable and toxic, and so safety measures are taken to prevent explosion or poisoning.

Gas can be supplied either piped into the premises from the mains supply or a storage tank, or in small cylinders used close to the appliance with a flexible hose connection. Gas gathering application involves transportation of gas via pipelines, and so does our home cooking system- be it LPG cylinder or PNG pipeline. Traditionally steel pipelines were used to carry the gas but pipelines composed of the polymer have certainly outweighed them in all aspects of the selection of pipe material.  Polymers are corrosion resistant, electrical and thermal insulators, fatigue resistant, chemically inert, lightweight, eco-friendly and cost-efficient. Durability and flexibility are the two most important factors supporting the use of polymer pipelines. Polymers like PP, HDPE, LDPE, and PVC are the most widely used polymer materials for the distribution of natural gas.

Are we still safe?

Several incidences have been noted in the past where rodents have damaged these polymer pipelines causing unfortunate fatalities.  On March 4^th, 2016 there was an explosion due to a rat-eaten LPG pipe. The accident was reported at Tonca in Panaji. According to the report, In Panaji 10 flats, located in the Kamat Complex – Phase II, Tonca, were damaged, at 5.30 a.m. on Thursday, after an explosion occurred due to LPG leakage from a stove connecting the pipe. The LPG company officials found that the connecting pipe was eaten up by rats. Another fatal accident that took place was in Bengaluru city on November 14. Family of three succumbed to injuries they had suffered in a gas cylinder explosion at their house in Belathur Colony in Kadugodi on November 7. According to the officials, the hosepipe connecting the cylinder and stove was damaged as a rat had bitten it off. Shibin had cut that particular part and fixed it.

According to TNN, In 2013, Rat-nibbled a gas pipe which leads to an explosion, causing injury to 5 members of a family. This horrifying accident took place in Kondawa district of Pune. According to the officials, the gas had leaked through a 2mm hole on the rubber tube that a mouse had nibbled. The poorly ventilated kitchen added to the explosion’s intensity.

Yet another accident that took place was in the year 2007, August 8 where the Gas blast killed a pensioner which was caused after rats that gnawed through a lead pipe in her house. 

There are more than 2000 different rodent species. The classification of rodents include rats, mouse, beaver, gopher, paca, hamster, squirrel, etc. Rodents are flexible enough to go through even the slimmest of gaps. Rodents being ubiquitous creatures are present in large numbers at various locations and sometimes also find their way to gas pipelines causing a lot of loss and damage. They have incisors which grow continuously throughout their life. To keep them in check, rodents chew anything they find or smell attractive including our gas pipes. Curbing them is not an option as it is hard to execute, time taking and also bad for the food chain.

Prevent them? But how?  There is an efficient solution that C Tech Corporation, India has come up with. They have a unique product known as Combirepel™ which solves our biggest grievances. So let us look at some of the salient features of Combirepel™ and how it drives these mischievous rodents away from our homes, offices, and industries.

Combirepel™ , an eco-friendly, extremely low toxic and extremely low hazard rodent and insect aversive can be incorporated in the gas tubing and pipelines, hindering the rodents from attacking them. It is an anti-rodent, anti-insect additive available in the form of masterbatches specially developed for a range of polymeric and coating applications including films, pipes, wires, and cables. It can be incorporated into nearly all base polymers like HDPE, LDPE, PVC, PE, etc. 

It is also available in the form of liquid concentrate, lacquer, and sprays.

The mechanism followed by our product is repellence by attacking their olfactory senses and it does not aid to kill the target species. The products do not interfere with the working of the end application it is used in. They are stable at high temperatures; they do not leach out or produce any toxic fumes and have a long shelf life of up to 50 years as per the application.

The liquid concentrate can be blended with paints and organic solvents and be applied to the pipes. The lacquer can be directly applied to the pipes as a protective coating to protect it from a rodent attack.

The sprays are an easy to use product which can be sprayed near the gas pipelines and affected areas to repel the rats.

The product is compliant with ROHS, ROHS2, ROHS3, REACH, APVMA, NEA, EU-BPR, and FIFRA exempted.

The products do not interfere with the working of the end application it is used in. They are stable at high temperatures; they do not leach out or produce any toxic fumes.

It looks as if this green chemistry-based product is tailor-made for this application. Don’t you feel?

When you noticed a sprinkling of something that looked like sawdust on the floor by the door or in your wooden cupboards and cabinets and its drawers and discovered a few tiny round holes in the wood frame, your mind went to the obvious place: termites. Or maybe it could be carpenter ants?

Right?

While termites and carpenter ants are the wood pests that homeowners typically hear the most about, they’re not the only ones out there. One of the biggest dangers to the wood in the home comes from a bug you’d probably never guess: the wood-boring beetle.

A beetle?

That’s right.

These beetles are known for boring small holes in wood both in inside and outside environments. They can be difficult to detect as they bore through the inside of a wooden window and door frames, hardwood floors, and even wooden furniture.

They are also referred to as ‘Powderpost beetles’ since they reduce wood to a flour-like powder.

Demolition of Church Street historic home raises concerns

By Sean Flynn │April 1, 2019

NEWPORT — The demolition of the historic home at 46 Church St., built in 1779, is receiving a lot of public comment on a local website, much of it negative, but the project went through a public process involving the city’s Historic District Commission, the historic preservation planner and building officials for more than two years.

Sean Napolitano, the owner of A-1 Roofing and Construction on Bliss Road, bought the property in June 2016 with the intent of restoring it under the city’s historic preservation standards and received partial demolition permits.

As work was done on the building since then, major problems kept coming up. For example, the workers discovered the beams under the first floor, as well as the sheathing of the home, was severely damaged by powderpost beetles and water infiltration.

Domestic Sea Trade Aids Wood-Boring Beetles’ Range Expansion

 ENTOMOLOGY TODAY;  January 11, 2018  

By Andrew Porterfield

Bark- and wood-boring insects rank among the top destroyers of trees and shrubs. One tactic that pest control officials have used to fend off these insects is to halt their entrance to a country at international ports. Recently, however, native species of wood-boring beetles have expanded their range within their normal biogeographic regions, leaving questions about how they got there and how to deal with the damage in their wake.

A group of Italian researchers led by entomologist Davide Rassati at the University of Padua found that two types of beetles, in the families Cerambycidae and Scolytinae, could travel within a single country thanks to stowing away on ships between ports, and they can easily travel from local forests to a port and be exported to anywhere outbound ships are traveling. Their research was published in December in the Journal of Economic Entomology.

Wood-boring beetles are difficult to control once an infestation has begun. Therefore, prevention is the best management method. Post infestation, fumigation is carried out but for fumigation to be effective, your whole house would need to be tented and infused with sulfuryl fluoride, or you would need to take the shelves to a company that has a fumigation vault.

Why opt for tedious and harmful methods when you can have some easy solution available?

The unique product Combirepel™ manufactured by C Tech Corporation is an anti-insect aversive which repels insects as well as other pests. This product can be an ideal solution against the damages caused by the woodborer insect.

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

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

Combirepel™ is an extremely low concern, low toxic, 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.

Combirepel^TM wood polish additive can be mixed with the wood polish and applied on the wooden surfaces, furniture, bookshelves, wardrobes, etc.

The product available in the form of liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints in a predetermined ratio and be applied on the interior and exterior of the buildings and structures to keep the wood borers away from these places.

Our product in the lacquer form can be applied topically to the applications. The lacquer is compatible with the surfaces wood, concrete, metal, polymer, ceramic, cables, wires which are already installed, etc. The lacquer can be applied on the cupboards, shelves, wardrobes, installed wires, and cables, etc. thus protecting it from damage. The product is also effective against other pests thus protecting the trees from other pest attacks.

Combirepel^TM is available in the form of the masterbatch, which can be incorporated into polymeric applications like polymeric wires and cables, pipes, etc.

Combirepel^TM pest repellent spray can be sprayed on the infested area to repel the pests.

Combirepel™ is thermally stable and does not degrade on exposure to heat and sunlight. It does not kill or harm the insect but repels them. It is RoHS, RoHS2, RoHS3, REACH, APVMA, NEA, EU BPR compliant and FIFRA exempted.

Rats have been a problem for a while now. Have you ever thought though that these pests might be inside your home and you may be completely unaware of it? If you think that the chances of it happening are slim then you should reconsider. We have some really disturbing news for you about the same.

Glasgow rat problem ‘alarmingly high’ as city sees six times more callouts than Edinburgh

Wednesday 22 May 2019

Glasgow City Council were asked to deal with rats both inside houses and at street level more than 14,000 times since the start of 2016, a freedom of information request has revealed.

The numbers are staggering when compared to similar statistics in Edinburgh with the council receiving 17 complaints in connection with rats on average every day.

The capital only dealt with 1,800 callouts connected to street-level rats in the same time period, compared to Glasgow’s near 11,000 requests.

Govanhill in the south of the city is by far the worst affected area of Glasgow by rats and is home to a third of the worst thirty rat-infested streets.

Allison Street in the area had 68 complaints about rats in living areas, almost double the next highest, Cathcart Street, also in Govanhill.

‘More rats than residents’ at one NYCHA development in East Harlem, tenants say

POSTED 6:20 PM, MAY 21, 2019, BY MONICA MORALES

EAST HARLEM, Manhattan — Rats are running under parked cars at the Washington Houses in a city parking lot in East Harlem. Some in the area say rats take over at night and even during the day.

“Every night there are dozens under my car,” said Theodore Barikdar, who has a minivan.

Barikdar was assigned a parking space right next to a pile of trash, he said. The area become a feeding ground for dozens of sewer rats.

He is not alone. Luis Jimenez and Manuel Medina say they park their cars in the same NYCHA parking lot.

“I’ve had rats walking on top of my car,” said Jimenez.

The rat problem is a health hazard, Washington Houses Tenant Association President Claudia Perez said.

“It’s not just this building, it’s 14 buildings,” Perez said. “I can show you huge rat holes in every single one of these buildings.”

And now you might be thinking, “What if I find one in my own home?”  You probably think that you can easily catch rats using mouse traps or poison them but you should take into consideration that killing them is not an option because that can spread diseases like salmonella and rat bite fever. Even if you do trap them, which is really hard to do, you can catch only one at a time or maybe none at all because of how smart they have become. Don’t even think of using glue boards with kids in the house because they might get stuck to it. If you want to use rodenticide you will most likely be inhaling the toxic fumes and damaging your body as well. In some cases, the rodents are immune to the rodenticides.  

So is there a solution to all of this? Can you get rid of rodents for good without killing them?

The answer is YES. If you want to know how then keep reading.
