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.

Mothballs have been used as a traditional way to ward off any rodents but are they really effective? They are largely ineffective and they definitely are not good for health. In fact, they are carcinogenic. Manufacturer’s instructions regularly warn against using mothballs for any purpose other than those specified by the packaging, as such uses are not only harmful and noxious, they are also frequently considered illegal. They are a nuisance to mainly humans as they can lead to anemia, cataracts in not only humans but also rats, rabbits, and mice. They can even lead to retinal hemorrhage. Don’t believe us? Given below is evidence which has been taken from a new article published by The Lewiston Tribune.

The use of mothballs to ward off rodents from cars parked at Corn Creek Boat Launch may be effective, but it’s still illegal.

Sun., May 19, 2019, By Eric Barker

LEWISTON – A clever hack being used by river runners to protect their cars at the Corn Creek Boat Launch on the upper Salmon River has drawn the ire of officials on the Salmon-Challis National Forest.

According to a news release from the agency, some rafters and kayakers who leave their vehicles parked at the boat ramp while floating the river place mothballs under their rigs. The idea is to deter mice and other rodents from climbing into the engine compartment and causing havoc.

The mothballs deployed by river runners at Corn Creek are meant to deter the messy and destructive mice, marmots, rats and other rodents. But the balls Grandma used to keep moths from chowing on wool garments are also considered a pesticide. It’s illegal for people to apply such chemicals, even in the form of mothballs, on federal land.

Salmon-Challis National Forest spokeswoman Amy Baumer said some agency workers have even become sick from constantly breathing mothball fumes at Corn Creek.

Rodents sometimes enter the dark nooks and crannies of parked car and truck engine compartments to build nests. The rodents generally make a mess when they do this, but they can also do costly damage with their teeth. Rodents sometimes like to chew on rubber, damaging fan and engine belts or the sheathing that covers electrical wires.

Even worse, some late-model cars have wires with sheathes that are soy-based and apparently irresistible to vermin. When they chew on the apparently delicious and environmentally friendly wires, they can destroy the wire harnesses, short electrical systems and causes tens of thousands of dollars of damage.

The mothball deployment tactic seems to be limited to just Corn Creek.

The U.S. Forest Service news release said the use of mothballs is a violation of 36CFR, which bans the use of any pesticide aside from insect repellent. It quotes the National Pesticide Information Center as saying, “Mothballs are nearly 100 percent active ingredient, and the active ingredient may be either naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene. Each active ingredient can cause different health effects if the exposure is high enough. Mothballs slowly turn from solids to toxic vapor. When you smell mothballs, you are inhaling the insecticide. Mothballs can also be dangerous if they are chewed or swallowed. Children, pets and wildlife may mistake them for food or candy and eat them. One mothball can cause serious harm if eaten by a small child.”

Baumer said, for now, Forest Service law enforcement agents aren’t writing tickets to mothball rodent warriors and instead are choosing to inform them of the dangers.

“We are just trying to get the word out and get people educated,” she said.

So what can we do to take care of this? If the traditional methods have stopped working then what can we use?

Voles may be small, but they are a force to be reckoned with. If these underground, fast-breeding varmints have ever invaded your lawn or garden, you may know what we’re talking about. Voles may not be life-threatening and maybe no one has ever died from having them in their yard, but we’re betting the problem is front and center for those of you have had their lawns destroyed by these covert invaders.

Vole runways are formed by a combination of voles eating the grass blades and the steady traffic from their shallow underground burrow to seek food along the runways. Runways are often hidden by ground cover, so you may have to pull back overhanging cover to find them.

The opening to a vole burrow can be identified by neat, round holes that measure an inch or two in diameter. Vole holes can be found in open turf or hidden underground cover, plantings or mulch. Voles mostly thrive on small plants, yet like shrews, they will eat dead animals, and like mice or rats, they can live on almost any nut or fruit. Additionally, voles target plants more than most other small animals, making their presence evident. Voles readily girdle small trees and ground cover much like a porcupine. This girdling can easily kill young plants and is not healthy for trees or other shrubs.

Let’s have a look at following pieces of evidence revealing damage caused to lawns by voles:

Beware a coming invasion of voles

Prolific breeding voles can wreak havoc on a lawn or garden

By JOAN MORRIS 

I could not figure out what was causing furrows in my lawn until one morning at first light, I saw a mouse running in the trail and grabbing a quick bite of grass before retreating back under the plants for cover.

Mice are not, as a rule, big grass eaters; however, you don’t have mice, you have voles. The paths you see in your grass are called runways, and they connect the holes in the vole network. The opening to the tunnels are usually concealed beneath vegetation.

Voles ripping up yards across Winnipeg

One exterminator said voles are hitting some parts of the city hard this spring.

By Michelle Bailey For Metro

“The newer areas of the city have definitely been hit hard,” said Taz Stuart, Director of Technical Operations with Poulin’s Exterminators. “But really, they are causing problems all over because the heavier the snow, the better they can survive the winter.”

Stuart explained “predators can’t hear them scurrying under all of that snow,” and Winnipeg became a vole haven following heavy snowfall in late December.

Typically, voles welcome spring by creating visible tunnels, or “runways” at or near the surface that are about two inches wide by eating grass blades and zipping back and forth on consistent paths.

Hence from the evidences, we can conclude that though the voles are small they cause huge damage to grass, weeds, roots of plants, etc. in lawns.

Voles grow to 3–9 in (7.6–22.9 cm), depending on the species. They can have 5 to 10 litters per year. Gestation lasts for three weeks and the young voles reach sexual maturity in a month. As a result of this biological exponential growth, vole populations can grow very large within a very short time.

So, they can’t be neglected, and we need to use some protective measures against them. There are many control measures to be used to control voles like exclusion, habitat modification, trapping, etc. but they are ineffective.

We, at C Tech Corporation, can provide you with an effective solution. Our product Rodrepel^TM is developed by using green technology. It is extremely low toxic, low hazard, low concern, and non-mutagenic animal aversive. It is durable at extreme climatic conditions.

Why do we visit RESTAURANTS?

Restaurants are visited for trying out different variety of food and having a bit of relaxation time.

The quality of the food offered is all that matters when one visits a restaurant, isn’t it?

Restaurants are rated on the scale of quality as well as hygienic of food maintained. The best the service provided by the restaurants the best it is rated. The primary factors of the differentiation of restaurants are the food offered, the cuisine or the style of offering. Beyond this they may differentiate themselves on factors like speed, formality, location, cost, service or novelty themes.

A restaurant is inspected by the FDA twice in a year and examined on the basis of hygiene, safety, and cleanliness. The inspections often take an hour to complete. Inspectors look for anything that could present a health concern to the public. If any of the violations are noted then the restaurants are banned until the violation reason is completely eradicated. Following are the pieces of evidence of some of the restaurants being closed and infestation reported.

Woman shares video of BABY RAT she found in her takeaway

By Michael Moran │10^th May 2019

A woman has posted a video to her Facebook page which appears to show a baby rat that has been cooked in a takeaway noodle dish.

Deyanira Cortes who lives in Columbus, Ohio, uploaded the video which shows her picking up the tiny ‘rodent corpse’ with a fork to give viewers a good view of the creature’s “little hand and face.”

She says that she bought the sickening dish from Yihi Japan in the Polaris Fashion Place shopping mall in Columbus and has shared the video as a warning to others.

The video emerges in the same week that a Scottish woman complained of finding an entire chicken head in her takeaway.

Deyanira wrote: “Please don’t buy from Yihi Japan that’s inside the Polaris Mall.

“I bought a chicken teriyaki and got a rat foetus cooked in the food… it’s disgusting.

“Please share so no one buys from there, and we can avoid someone getting sick.”

Takeaway shut down over mice infestation

By Daniel Binns │ April 18^th 2019

A PIZZA HUT restaurant was closed and fined £8,000 after its kitchen was found covered in mouse droppings.

The takeaway was visited by council inspectors who discovered evidence of an ‘extensive and active’ infestation of the rodents, a court heard.

There was a dead mouse in the cellar and droppings in food preparation areas and in a dough-proving machine.

The Swansea restaurant — which also had mold on the walls and damps in the cellar — was shut down as it posed an ‘immediate risk of injury to health’.

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

Rodents such as mice and rats are of more concern because they are the main culprits of the restaurant closures. Rats and mice are attracted to the restaurants due to the availability of the food and warm habitat.

There are many access areas through which this pest enters your restaurants like sewage lines, air ducts, basin outlets, etc. Such areas cannot be totally separated from the surroundings and hence the infestation cannot be removed very easily.

You can easily find out the infestation in your restaurant by the signs of rodent infestations as rodent droppings all over the area, polymer-based application bitten up, the peculiar smell of rodent urine, etc. The rid of rodent infestation is important as the rodents are the carriers of many diseases and they can be easily transferred to people via the food they eat in your restaurants.

For maintaining the hygiene and safety at your restaurant against the pesky restaurants we can help you by providing you with an eco-friendly solution which is Rodrepel^TM.

Rodrepel^TM is manufactured by CTech Corporation using green technology. The restaurants can be well protected by using our product Rodrepel^TM. It works on the mechanism like fear, discomfort, aversion, training and association & conditioning. As stated earlier the product is a green technology product which does not kill the rodent but only repels thus maintaining the ecological balance of the earth.

Our product is available in four forms viz. Masterbatch, Liquid Concentrate, lacquer, and wood polish additive.

Rodrepel^TM Masterbatch can be incorporated in the polymer-based applications while processing them. The polymer applications like wires, cables, pipes, polymer made kitchen equipment, etc. can be manufactured by using our masterbatch.

Rodrepel^TM liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints in proper proportion and cover the entire area of infestation by paints. Rodrepel^TM in lacquer form can be directly used as a top coating over the application. The wood polish additive is also a topical application which can be mixed in the wood polish and applied on wooden surfaces.

Our newly developed product is in the form of a spray, called Rodrepel^TM rodent repellent spray which is an easy to use product. The spray can be sprayed on infested areas and equipment that need protection from rodents.

Our product solutions do not interfere with the properties of the application and in plus point provides complete protection against the harmful pest like rats and mice.

You bought a new car assuming it would be worth and found the components of the cars gnawed by a rodent.

Rodents are not bothered if it is new or old. Irrespective of the car model, new or old, branded or not, the rodents will enter your car!

The small gaps from air vents, cable holes, pedal shaft, steering column are the favorite entry points for the rodents.

Rodents, with their flexible bodies, can enter the cars and destruct the interior of the cars within no time. They are always in search of a safe place to nest. In this situation, if they come across a car, bingo!

They can easily gnaw on the car wiring and other components under the hood. Polymers and metals are like candy floss for the rodents. Their sharp incisors easily chew through the hardest of engineering plastic like Nylon 12.

Do you know why do they gnaw the components from the cars?

The rodents first in search of nesting enter the cars. Then they get attracted to the different polymers from the car hood.  Since they need to keep a check on their incisors which are ever growing and can even pierce through their skulls, they need to continuously gnaw on some or other thing. When in a car, they are left with no other option than the car wirings and other components to gnaw on.

Was that your brake cable? All thanks to god that you did not drive it!

Again, with no knowledge of what they are biting on, the rodents can destroy the brake cables, power cables, signaling cables, fuel reservoir, seats, etc. from the cars.

Damage to any of the vital car components can prove fatal!

Imagine one driving a car with the brake cables chewed by these pesky creatures?! There have been several accidents and fire hazards due to the menace caused by these pests in cars.

Even though many preliminary measures are taken to prevent these pests from entering the cars, they somehow get into the cars. Traditionally peppermint oil, powdered fox urine, used cat litter, cat hair, dog hair, Pine-Sol, Irish Spring soap, red pepper, etc. is used to keep the rodents out of cars. But these methods have proved ineffective since their effects are temporary. Metal meshes are used, and those are left in pieces by the incisors. Hot sauces would go better with your bread than your car components. There are chances that you attract more animals to your cars who come in search of these sauces.

CAR NOT STARTING THIS WINTER? RATS! (NO, REALLY!)

Jen Ursillo │February 3, 2019

If your car is not starting this winter, be careful before you check under the hood. Rats, mice, chipmunks, and squirrels could be hiding in there.

A Midatlantic spokeswoman Tracy Noble said rodents can cause a lot of damage to wiring harnesses looking for food.

In order to be more environmentally friendly, auto manufacturers have started using soy-based wire coverings. The downside is that small creatures like to feast on these wirings, causing expensive engine damage.

Noble said while this happens more frequently in the winter because animals are looking for shelter, it also happens in cars that are not used regularly.

While some people advocate using moth balls or pepper spray under the hood, the fumes from are not healthy and safe for both animals and humans.

So rats chewed up your car’s wiring: Making car manufacturers honour your warranty

February 05, 2019 by Ellen Roseman Toronto Star

Readers often write me about car problems. Since I’m not an expert, I consult with the Automobile Protection Association, a well-known consumer group founded almost 50 years ago by Phil Edmonston (later elected as the first NDP MP in Quebec).

George Iny, current APA head, keeps advocating for customers and publishing the popular Lemon-Aid car guides. So, I figured he would know about Alicia Ditchburn’s problem with her 2018 Honda Civic hatchback.

She bought the $20,000 vehicle last August. Early this year, she brought it back to the dealer to find out why it didn’t start properly.

“I got a call the next day, saying mice or rodents had chewed through my vehicle, and I owed over $1,000 to fix the car,” she said.

“I was told this most likely happened at the factory before I even had the car. I was made aware that the manufacturers used soy oil to wrap the copper wires.”

Ditchburn contacted Honda Canada CEO Dave Gardner, asking for the repair to be covered under the warranty. The case is currently under review.

Rodents have got immune to these conventional methods. Their bodies have developed immunity towards commonly used pesticides. A new breed of rats has developed which are resistant to deadly toxins designed to kill them. Use of mechanical traps is limited only till they do not undergo mechanical errors. Your pet and even your child can get stuck to those glue boards.

So what can be done in order to protect your cars from these hungry rodents?

We at C Tech Corporation can provide with an extremely low toxic, extremely low hazard, effective and efficient solution. Rodrepel^TM is an anti-rodent, anti-animal polymer additive. It is specially designed for the polymeric application. The masterbatch can be incorporated in insulation, wires, door cladding, carpet, plastic accessories, seat cushions, car covers, polymeric switch panels, components of ignition box, fuel tanks, fuel hoses, foam seats, etc. Rodrepel^TM lacquer can be coated on already installed wires, polymeric hoses, fuel tanks, battery box, ducts, door cladding, etc.

Our newly developed product in the form of a spray is a must-have product for every car owner! The Rodrepel™ Rodent Repellent Spray is specially designed for cars. The product can be sprayed on the car components after clearing the dust and waste from the components. The product when applied properly repels the rodents and protects the cars from rodent damage.

Rodrepel^TM works on the mechanism of repellence. It does not kill target species but only repels them.

Our product is FIFRA (Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act) exempted and is also REACH, RoHS, and RoHS 2, ISO, APVMA, NEA, EU-BPR complaint.

Rodrepel^TM  will be the best solution to keep rodents away from your cars.
