November 2020 – Rodrepel Non hazardous non toxic rodent and animals repellant

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.

Few power outage stories are as below:

Squirrel causes power outages in South Carolina

Squirrel killed while damaging the equipment

Nov 16, 2020

COLUMBIA, S.C. —

A section of South Carolina’s capital city was without power Monday after a squirrel caused equipment damage that led to the blackout.

Dominion Energy said in a Twitter post that the animal caused the outages in downtown Columbia. Company spokesman Matt Long told The State the squirrel was killed while damaging the equipment.

Another power outage was reported Monday after a dump truck hit some wires in the city, Long said.

By 11:45 a.m., nearly 1,800 customers had reported being without power, according to an outage map on the energy company’s website.

Nixa Power Outage Attributed to Furry Source

April 24, 2020

Things were a little nutty around the Nixa area Thursday morning.

Over 4,500 Nixa residents lost power around 9:15 a.m. Thursday morning when a safety mechanism at the Nixa Utilities Espy substation triggered and shut down the site.

Upon arriving at the site, Utility workers discovered the remains of a squirrel that had somehow gotten into the top of the large transformer at the station, which caused the safety systems to shut down.

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. Rodrepel^TM is an anti-rodent 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.

Rodrepel^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 is an easy to use product which can be sprayed on wires and cables, electronic appliances, cabinets, to avoid the rodents from entering them.

Rodents are ubiquitous creatures notorious for the menace they create. Perhaps one of the most affected and largely ignored victims of rodent menace is the automobile industry. Under the hood components of cars are largely susceptible to rodent damage and when it is not serving as a safe haven for rodents from the cold weather it serves as a nutritious supply of electrical wiring, cabling, tubings, and injection molded parts. Rodent species are likely to enter into cars and other vehicles through openings beneath the bonnet and damaging wires and other parts of the engine.

There have been numerous cases where rodents have managed to destroy car wiring and wires under the hood, behind the dash panel, etc. Ever tried to rev up your engine in the morning and it simply won’t start? That is when you know that a rodent has been there, done that!!! The whole backside of the dash panel is a mouse paradise. Headliners, seats, carpeting, are all good rat material.

An interesting report cited the damage done to a brand new sports car by rodents. Clearly rodents are not class-conscious! The car was being transported by an FCL container from India to the UK. Upon arrival, when the logistics company opened the container door, they found two dead decomposed rats on the container floor and the wires in the car engines, etc are all damaged. Rodents biting threw wires and cables are also responsible for car fires. The damages range from hundreds to thousands of dollars not to mention that sometimes these damages are not covered by insurance.

Lockdown effect: Rodents nibble away at wiring of parked vehicles

Automobile service stations across city are coming across dozens of cases where rodents – rats, mice – have chewed wires and caused damaged

The Covid-19 lockdown had everyone house-bound, that means parked cars were left for a long period of time in the company of rodents causing massive damage to cables of vehicles.

Automobile service stations across city are coming across dozens of cases where rodents – rats, mice – have chewed wires and caused damaged worth lakhs of rupees to the owners.

Neeraj Bhide, a resident of Prabhat road, had to spend Rs 1,40,000 to replace wiring and radiator fan of his luxury four-wheeler.

“My car was parked at Prabhat road for the three months. In May, when the restrictions were eased while driving, I came to know that the engine temperature of my vehicle is very high as the radiator fan was not working,” said Bhide, a working professional. It was the first time Bhide has come across to such damage to his cars.

“If your car is standing for a long period then such damage happens,” explained Bhide.

Ashwin Apte, who runs Apte Shri Auto Service, near MIT College Kothrud, said, “Such a problem arises only when the car is standing at one place for many days. Generally, rats are found in parking areas and after lockdown, many of our clients are facing similar problems.”

The rats have either eaten wires in the engine compartment or have chewed cable of air condition and seat covers were also damaged.

“Out of seven cars which we get to repair in a day, four-five cars have a problem of wire damages. Price of every wire varies, but on an average minimum one has to spend Rs10,000 to fix the wire connection,” added Apte.

Rat caused fire in car showroom, CCTV footage revealed

People lay traps to catch mice so that they do not get harmed. But 1 rat has done such a thing that it has become part of the headlines. This matter is of February. A sudden fire in a car showroom in Musheerabad, Hyderabad caused a loss of Rs 1 crore. However, now during the investigation, it is found that a mouse was responsible for this accident.

According to media reports, on February 8, the Maruti Nexa car showroom and service center in Musheerabad had caught fire. In this, goods worth about 1 crore including 3 cars were burnt. The police closed the case, assuming the fire was caused by the shot circuit. However, later on, a private company investigating CCTV of that night, it has been found that the fire was caused by rats.

According to reports, there was a pooja in the showroom at around ten in the morning on the day of the accident. Earthern Lamps were also burnt for this. It kept burning till night. At about 11:51 pm, a rat appears on the table of the customer service room. After this, in the footage of 11:55 pm, the rat is seen dragging the burning lamp. After this, it leaves the light under the chair. Then there was a fire under the chair. However, even during that, the rat remains on the table. After this, at around 12:06 pm, the chair is surrounded by flames.

Against this background, there is a need to address rodent damage in vehicles in an effective and sustainable manner. Conventional methods involve the use of traditional remedies like moth balls or natural repellent baits. But these are ineffective in their scope to address the problems as the rodents can easily make their way around these contraptions and gnaw away to glory. What is required is an intrinsic solution that can be used to address the problems by direct incorporation in the electrical wiring and injection molded parts.

Rodrepel™ is an innovative product designed and developed for the automobile industry and individual car users. The products are available in the form of a masterbatch which can be incorporated within wires and cables and polymeric materials right at the outset via extrusion thus making them inherently rodent proof.

Ancillary precautions can be taken by also using topical coating based formulations of Rodrepel™ for existing cars with wires and cables. These have a lifespan of as high as up to a year depending on the adhesive lifespan used however it renders the same level of protection that the masterbatch approach gives for a reduced lifespan. The plastic seats can also be extruded with Rodrepel™ or laminated with thin films comprising of Rodrepel™.

It is also available in lacquer and liquid form and can be easily coated onto an application to repel the rodents. The best part about this product is that it works on the mechanism of repellence and does not kill the target species. i.e. rodents, thus being in accordance with the need of the century, Sustainability, and green chemistry.

The Rodrepel^TMrodent repellent spray is an easy to use product and can be used on engine components.
