Rodenticide Poisoning

The use of rodenticides is extremely widespread globally. At the first glance, they seem like the perfect solution to get rid of the rats and mice that makes life a living hell for many people. Their rampant availability and the marketing strategy labelling them essentially safe for use around households make their presence all the scarier.

In the recent past, a lot of incidences have come to light showing the harmful nature of these rodenticides. Not only are they toxic and harmful to the environment, but also to your pets and children. Anybody who comes in contact with the substance are bound to be affected by it because of its high toxicity levels. Most of the rodenticides are super toxic as they contain substances called anticoagulants. These anticoagulants, once ingested, enters the system and stops the production of the vitamin that is essential for normal blood clotting. This leads to constant bleeding and the consumer dies out because of it.

While it is marketed as a rodenticide that is meant for rats, mice and other pesky rodents, the chemical has the same effect on all organisms that consume it. Birds, pets and children have been reported to have accidently consume the rodenticide causing immense pain and also death in cases of many birds.

Another very prevalent disadvantage of these super toxic rodenticides include their long-half lives. This means that they are present in the environment for a very long time. Rodents that consume the rodenticide, even after dying, harbours the toxic chemicals inside their carcasses. This puts all other animals that feed on them at high risk.

A lot of cases have been seen of how rodenticides can cause excessive harm in the environment. Some of them are given below:

Understanding the Risks of Rodent Poisons to Birds of Prey

16 September, 2020

“A new study finds 100% of tested red-tailed hawks at Tufts Wildlife Clinic to be exposed to anticoagulant rodenticides.

Maureen Murray, V03, director of Tufts Wildlife Clinic and clinical associate professor at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, has been studying rodenticide exposure in birds of prey for over a decade. Exposure to rodenticides occurs when people use these chemicals to kill unwanted pests. Mice and rats, or possibly other animals, eat the poison, and then the birds eat the poisoned prey.

Murray has witnessed a steady increase in the number of birds of prey that come into Tufts Wildlife Clinic with rodenticides in their systems—some with fatal levels. But even Murray was taken aback by the results of her most recent study.

“One hundred percent of the red-tailed hawks in the present study tested positive for exposure to anticoagulant rodenticides,” said Murray. “In my 2017 paper, 97 percent of the hawks tested were positive, which is very high. But still, 100 feels like a much more dramatic number.”

The study, published in Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, also found that 91 percent of the birds tested positive for two or more different types of anticoagulant rodenticide (AR), with the second-generation ARs (SGARs) brodifacoum, bromadiolone, and difethialone found most frequently. SGARs are more potent than their first-generation predecessors, to which some rats—particularly in Europe—developed an immunity.”

RSPCA rat poison warning after fox was found shaking and had to be put down

14 October, 2020

“The RSPCA is warning people about the dangers of using rat poison after a fox was found collapsed in a garden in Manchester after ingesting it – she later died.

The fox was discovered collapsed and shaking in School Grove, Withington, by a resident who alerted the RSPCA on October 9.

The vixen was rushed to a nearby vets for treatment but sadly had to be put down as she was suffering so much, the RSPCA said.

It is suspected the fox may have ingested rat poison – possibly from eating a rodent which had been poisoned.

Miss Pierce said: “The symptoms indicate the fox probably died from poison which was left out for rats but obviously can be ingested by other wild animals as well as dogs and cats and often causes a slow and painful death.

“It is such a shame as she was beautiful and in such great condition.

“People use rat poison but forget about the dangers it poses to other animals such as owls which feed on rats – and we often get reports from dog owners about their pets getting severely ill or dying after ingesting such poison.

“Signs of poisoning, such as vomiting and dizziness can be seen anything from 30 minutes after an animal has ingested the chemical, though it can be two or three days before signs of kidney failure are seen.”

CA tightens rules on rat poisons that kill mountain lions, birds, endangered wildlife

1 October, 2020

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – “Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday signed a bill widely restricting the use of certain highly potent rat poisons that are blamed for killing mountain lions, birds and endangered wildlife.

Assembly Bill 1788 bars the general use of so-called second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides, or SGARs, until the director of the state Department of Pesticide Regulation certifies that the chemicals have been reevaluated and any additional restrictions needed to limit the impact on wildlife are adopted.

The deaths can be slow, and the chemicals linger in the bodies of the rodents and can be passed on up the food chain to predators and scavengers from the dead or dying rodents.

They include mountain lions, bobcats, badgers, golden eagles, great-horned owls, black bears, Pacific fishers, coyotes and endangered San Joaquin kit foxes, according to state regulators.

Last month, wildlife officials announced that an adult bobcat and a young mountain lion that were part of a study of big cats in the wilderness west of Los Angeles both died after ingesting rat poisons.

Consumer sales of SGARs were banned in 2014 and their use restricted to licensed exterminators. However, the chemicals are still widely used commercially and in agriculture.

Supporters of the bill said stronger measures were needed because the 2014 restrictions haven’t reduced the impact on wildlife that play important roles as natural rodent predators.”

Moreover, recent reports have shown that because of over-exposure to the poisons many rat species have developed resistant towards them, thus defying the entire concept of using them. These rats, named as super-rats, are bigger in size and have shown immunity towards many types of rodenticides.

It is clear that something has to be done to stop the rodents and toxic rodenticides and pesticides are not the option.

We, at C Tech Corporation, have a unique, effective, and efficient way to tackle these pesticides and replace them with the pest repellent products that we manufacture.

The product RodrepelTM manufactured by C Tech Corporation is an anti-rodent and animal aversive.  It works on the mechanism of repellence and is an extremely low concern, low toxic, low hazard, non-carcinogenic and non-mutagenic pest aversive. It does not kill or cause harm to the pests or to the environment, thus, indirectly helping to maintain the ecological balance.

RodrepelTM is available in the form of masterbatch, which can be incorporated into the polymeric applications like pipes, agriculture mulch films, floating row covers, greenhouse films etc. used for crop cultivation purpose etc.

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

Our product in the lacquer form can be applied topically on the applications. The lacquer is compatible with most of the surfaces like wood, concrete, metal, polymer, ceramic, etc. The lacquer can be applied on the already installed pipes in the fields or garden, fences around farms and garden, walls of the warehouses where the agricultural products are stored, thus protecting it from damage.

Our newly developed product in the form of a spray can be sprayed anywhere to repel the pests. The product is compatible with all types of surfaces and can be used by anyone. The RodrepelTM rodent repellent spray is completely safe to use.

RodrepelTM does not kill or harm the rodents but repels them. It does not volatilize and does not degrade the soil. It is RoHS, RoHS2, RoHS3, EU – BPR, ISO, REACH, APVMA, NEA compliant and FIFRA exempted.

Fear The Sneaky Critters!

Have you ever thought about what triggers power outages? When the power goes out, it can affect from a few houses to whole suburbs. No one prefers to live in the dark, especially when electricity disappears. Pests like rodents and birds inflict hundreds of outages annually, costing millions of dollars for repairing. Although these sneaky creatures appear to be innocent, they can create holes in your pockets and can quickly become a headache. They even cause harm to someone’s assets or belongings.

Rodents have two pairs of razor-sharp incisor which grows throughout their life and to keep them in check they gnaw on objects whichever comes in their way. They chew on cable sheathing to acquire insulation as nesting material and to keep their choppers in check otherwise the unmanageable length can be led to starvation and death. Short circuits can occur if rodents chew on the insulation covering of wires, resulting in costly damage. And the insulation on your new wires can simply be chewed away when you fix the wires!

The utility lines provide a bird’s eye view of the birds of prey. When birds are about to migrate, wires provide a staging area. Insectivorous birds catch their food while flying, so they still keep an eye out for tasty treats when they drive by power lines. Such wires can be more appealing perches than trees because there is no foliage to obscure the view or conceal prey.

Who would have thought that these cute creatures could cause so much damage?

Well, these are some recent incidents where these pesky critters are blamed for messing with utility lines.

Beavers chew through 4.5-inch thick tube, disrupting internet service for 900 B.C. customers

Beavers have chewed through fiber cable at multiple points, causing extensive damage. Internet service for about 900 homes and businesses, as well as cable service for 60 customers, was first disrupted on Saturday, April 24 for about 36 hours. The beavers first chewed through the 4.5-inch thick conduit before chewing through the cable in multiple locations

It was then noted that the beavers now seem to have been continually scouting for new materials to build their home. They currently use fiber marking tape that is usually buried about several feet underground as part of their growing dam.

Squirrel causes power outage in Eau Claire

A squirrel making contact with electrical equipment caused a brief power outage that affected nearly 5,500 customers in Eau Claire and the Town of Washington on April 05, 2021. Xcel Energy confirmed the social media post, stating that a squirrel had come into contact with electrical equipment at their substation near London Road, causing a power outage lasting approximately 30 minutes.

Bird causes thousands to be without power in Murfreesboro

A bird caused thousands to be without power in Murfreesboro on February 27, 2021 morning.

Middle Tennessee Electric says about 8,800 meters were out near Murfreesboro. Crews worked to restore the power at one of the substations and were able to successfully do so about an hour after reporting the outage.

MTE officials told News 2 a bird flew into the substation, causing the outage.

Despite incredible progress and technological advancement, the critters continue to trigger power outages, which is a very basic yet troublesome question.

Though beavers, squirrels, and birds cause damage to power grids they play a very important role in the ecosystem. Beaver dams prevent soil erosion and keep sediment in place, which absorbs and filters contaminants including heavy metals, pesticides, and chemicals. They’re nature’s architects!

Birds carry the seeds they consume and spread them by their excrement. They restore ecosystems that have been ruined. They also shaped plant life. Squirrels play an important role in forest regeneration. They contribute to shaping the ecosystem due to their food storing habits. They gather seeds and bury them in forests for the future, but their vagueness aids the ecosystem’s survival.

Thus, it is important to keep these pests away from utility lines ensuring that they will not be harmed in any way!

There is a solution with C Tech Corporation to keep the pests away from power grids.

We have developed an environment-friendly, non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-mutagenic, and non-carcinogenic product range to fight the problem without killing the pests.

Rodrepel™ can be used to combat rodent nuisance in power sectors. It is a rodent and animal repellent that works on the principle of aversion. Its mechanism is tried and tested and is proven to be effective against rodents.

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

The masterbatch can be incorporated with the polymer to manufacture cable sheathing and polymeric equipments. The liquid concentrate can be mixed with paints and used to coat interiors and exteriors of server rooms, surfaces of signal towers, electrical boxes, etc. The lacquer can be used as a topical application for existing wires, transformer boxes, flooring of server rooms. The wood polish additive can be blended with wood polish and can be applied to wooden articles surrounding power grids.

The ready-to-use Rodrepel™ spray is easy to use and protects wires and cables from rodent damage. It can be easily sprayed on any infested area.

Combirepel™ Bird repellent gel lacquer 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. This repellent evokes a physiological effect that the birds associated with a sensory cue and then learn to avoid.

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.

Our Bye-Bye Birdie spray is a ready-to-use spray and can be sprayed directly on wires and cables or transformer boxes where birds roost to prevent a power outage.

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

The products are compliant with RoHS, RoHS2, RoHS3, REACH, APVMA, NEA, EU-BPR, and FIFRA exempted.

An Outbreak of Giant Rats in the UK!

We’ve been getting a lot nowadays about people who have found giant rats in their households and workplaces, as well as articles about these super rats. This week, the UK’s victorious battle against COVID-19 proceeds, as more than 40 million vaccines are distributed but, a new battle is erupting on the streets of the United Kingdom. Rat populations have risen in suburban areas as workplaces and businesses have been closed all year round.

Despite recent myths and articles, the large proportion of rats found in the UK would be around 25 cm tall and weighs about 250g. These rodents are characterized by their pairs of sharp incisors which are rapidly growing. They chew on anything in front of them to keep them in control. Rats are extremely social animals they have adapted themselves to live with humans. Their population is huge in urban areas because we have created the perfect nesting place for them such as cozy homes, abandoned buildings, and drainage systems that offer water, safe shelter, and availability of food.

These are some shreds of evidence where giant rats invaded workplaces and residential areas in the UK!

The UK faces an invasion of 150 million giant rats.

The big rodents are “killing each other” in a turf war over the scraps left around by Britons under the coronavirus restrictions, and this outbreak appears to be out of control in the UK.

The UK’s rat population has reportedly surged by a quarter to an estimated 150 million. And with many working from home, far more waste than usual is piling up outside front doors – and the rats are now fighting for the scraps. Basildon Council in Essex has announced that it will spend £70,000 on a “specialist” to exterminate an estimated 400,000 rodents.

They will remove the pests from parks and streets following a 300 percent rise in rodent population since the pandemic began just a year ago.

The British Pest Control said its members reported a 51 percent hike in rodent activity during the first lockdown in spring 2020 and a 78 percent increase when the shutdown returned in November. With pubs, bars and restaurants now able to serve food outside, experts fear the issue could explode.

Giant rats swarm houses as brazen rodents turn street into ‘cesspit’

Brazen rats have taken over abandoned flats and are starting to spread around Scottish neighborhood residents blame council management as the rats are having a party.

Daily Record reports that the rats are ‘playing havoc with residents’ lives’ as a group of ten-strong vermin thronged at a back garden hut.

Concerned residents also claim that one leaped out of a grey wheelie bin into a woman’s face, another flew out of a cupboard inside a house and a brazen rat took over a bird table to feast.

Renfrewshire Council stands accused of abandoning Maple Drive and has failed to pick up mounting rubbish for months. Blocks in neighboring Cedar Avenue and Elm Drive have previously been demolished and new homes built.

When it came to getting rid of rats, setting traps and throwing rat poison worked for decades. However, several rats have managed to genetically mutate as a result they gained resistance to poison and the ability to conquer traps.

There are an estimated 10.5 million rats in Britain that continue to breed rapidly, and 70% of the species are now resistant to the routinely used poisons in everyday pest controlling methods.

They are growing stronger and smarter every day. They not only increase in numbers but they grow in size too thus, proving over-the-counter rat poisons ineffective by eating them as snacks!

These super rats also carry viruses that may lead to jaundice or kidney failure. If their population will increase then there could be a significant risk to human health if the population is left unchecked.

So how can we keep those monsters away from dominating our residence or workplace?

Let us take good care of your rat dilemma before they wreak havoc!

We at C Tech Corporation developed environment-friendly, non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-mutagenic, and non-carcinogenic product range to fight the problem without killing the pests.

Our product, Rodrepel™ is anti-rodent and animal aversive that works on 6 prolonged repellence strategies which are not only effective against rats but will keep away other rodents as well.

This product works by using a series of highly evolved complex mechanisms to keep rodents away from the target application.

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

Fencing, water pipes, cable sheathing, tree guards, and other applications can be manufactured by incorporating our masterbatch. This will result in the end application being rodent repellent.

The liquid concentrate can be mixed with paint in a predetermined ratio and can be painted on the interior and exterior of houses or workplaces to keep rodents at bay!

Lacquer is a topical application and compatible with most surfaces like polymer, wood, ceramic, metal, concrete, etc. It can be applied directly on pipes, existing wires, and cables, flooring, household equipments, etc.

Wood polish additive can be blended with wood polish and applied directly on wooden furniture or objects.

The ready-to-use Rodrepel™ spray can be sprayed on the infested area or the surface to be protected.

The product is compliant with RoHS, RoHS2, RoHS3, REACH, APVMA, NEA, EU-BPR, and FIFRA exempted.

The story of rats and cars!

Family cars and automobiles have a very special place in the hearts of the members of the family. More often than not, they will have discussed at length, thought about it and saved up for years before buying that vehicle. So much thought and efforts go into planning the finances and situations around the event of the purchase. After all that hassle, to know that the precious vehicle is being attacked would be no less than horrifying!

To find the culprit and stop the attack would be the most prioritized task. What if the attackers turn out to be relentless? What if there seems no plausible way to stop the culprits? What if days after days they attack the vehicle and damage it? The situation would turn so hopeless and bleak. One would stop to think who these assailants are. They are none other than the pesky rodents that we see everywhere. Rats can be found on the busy sidewalk of roads and bigger rodents like raccoons can be found around your backyard and in bushy areas. Moles and gophers like to ruin your gardens and lawns. These rodents are present everywhere. They chew on everything available making life miserable for everyone around.

The rodents chew the wires and cables, fuel reservoirs, ducts, cable carriers, seats, etc. from the cars causing a nuisance. Replacement of these vital parts from the cars is expensive.

Your cars and vehicles prove to be nice feasts for them because of the ample amounts of polymeric materials present in them that they are attracted to. Yes, this is the truth of what is happening around the world. Parked cars not only tempt them with the availability of abundant food but also the comfort of warm resting space. It is relatively easy for them to make their way inside the vehicle. The electrical wirings and systems directly lead them to the bonnet of the car, where they can build nests and damage the wirings. The damage they cause can sometimes be very difficult to locate, resulting in large repair bills!

Recent news article clippings that have reported such incidences are presented below:

Raccoon breaks into Spokane family’s car while the family was out of town

Apr 22, 2021 

“I found raccoon prints all on the inside of the car and the outside of the car and some big teeth marks on the front seat,” Liz Cole said.

While away, a local Raccoon had broken into their car and rummaged around, causing damage to the inside and outside of the vehicle.

Raccoons are known for getting into trash cans, crawling into chimneys and making homes in attics and crawl spaces. One Raccoon, named Rebecca, even lived at the White House during the Coolidge presidency. But wild raccoons, though seemingly cute, are dangerous and can be a carrier of rabies.

“We got a little bit used to being in the city where there is not as much activity with animals so we have realized we have to be a little more careful,” Cole said.

Hungry rats costing Brisbane car owners thousands in repairs

April 24, 2021

Brisbane’s cooler months have prompted warnings that rats may be looking for a cosy place to wine and dine — such as your car engine.

One Holland Park resident, Tanya Wright, was recently hit with a costly bill after her car wouldn’t start.

Her mechanic discovered the engine’s wiring had been almost entirely stripped by hungry rats.

“All the coating off the wiring had been gnawed off — a couple of thousand dollars’ worth of damage,” Ms Wright told

“They go in there looking for warmth from the motor and they discover things they like to chew.”

Ms. Wright said she contacted Brisbane City Council, which sent forth rat dogs to sniff out the problem.

But her car remains at the mechanic’s and her insurance policy does not cover rat damage.

Ms. Wright urged people to double-check their insurance policy to avoid a steep bill.

“We had rats in our car, they ate through all the wiring, our kids’ car seats and even chewed the seatbelts,” she said.

One listener urged that caution when using rat baits around children and pets, while another warned about confusing rats with native mammals such as antechinus.

We, at C Tech Corporation, can provide with an extremely low toxic, low hazard, effective and efficient solution. RodrepelTM is an anti-rodent, anti-animal polymer additive. It is specially designed for polymeric applications. 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. RodrepelTM 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! 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.

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

Our product is FIFRA exempted and is also REACH, RoHS, RoHS2, APVMA, NEA and EU-BPR complaint.

RodrepelTM will be the best solution to keep rodents away from your cars.

Unwelcomed Invaders in Your Backyard!

Voles are vulnerable! These creatures appear to be adorable, fluffy, and innocent, but they’re also a nightmare to deal with. Homeowners with yards face the threat of these critters massacring their lawn. You may have vole infestation if you find holes, clumps of turf and gravel, or scattered leaf litter around the lawn.

Voles aka Meadow Mice are small mammals. They closely resemble mice but have a more stout body and a blunt nose. They spend most of the time underneath, burrowing and creating a series of tunnels. These tunnels are mainly used for the storage of food but also, they give birth and raise their pups in these tunnels.

Voles seek to create their tunnels in dense, leaf litter. They chew on roots and sashes which lead to significant damage to plants like parsley. These herbivorous critters are more engaged in eating in your property’s vegetation and the worst part is they are prolific i.e. they multiply quickly!

These are some incidents where voles were blamed for the destruction of plants.

 “Vole infestation causes damages of over half a billion crowns”

Damages to the grain harvest caused by the widespread infestation of voles have reached half a billion crowns so far, the Czech Republic’s Agricultural Association announced at a press conference.

The damage to grains and other crops was assessed on an area of 87,000 hectares of land, which represents around one-fifth of the country’s arable land.

The voles have decimated mainly the grain harvest but according to the country’s Agricultural Association, they are also threatening rapeseed crops, corn, sugar beet, and sunflower production. The area most hard-hit by the overpopulated rodents is South and Central Moravia.

“Voles populating Chino Hills”

Numerous calls to the city and the West Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District have been made in response to an increase in the vole population in Chino Hills and the surrounding area.

According to Janet Hartin of the UC Cooperative Extension, a vole is a rodent known as a “meadow mouse” that likes to inhabit urban landscapes with grass and other covers to feed on. They prefer loose, deep garden soil that allows them to burrow more easily.

Rural and natural areas have had a boom of vegetation that creates shelter and food for the rodents. As food sources dwindle and vegetation dries out, the critters are pushed into urban areas that are watered and still lush.

Trapping and baiting are the most common methods used for controlling the population of voles. But each method comes with drawbacks such as traps can injure the voles or they can try to escape if it is open by mistake. Improper placement or wrong dosage makes bait ineffective.

So, what can be done to control those critters?

Imagine the scenario, if you’ve worked so hard and invested heavily to create your lawn magnificently, and now you’re annoyed as those tiny yard invaders are forming dead patches and tunnels in your lawn then, you’re not alone! Let us take good care of your vole dilemma before they wreak havoc in your yard.

We at C Tech Corporation developed environment-friendly, non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-mutagenic, and non-carcinogenic product range to fight the problem without killing the pests.

Our product, Rodrepel™, is anti-rodent and animal aversive that works on 6 prolonged repellence strategies which not only effective against voles but will keep away other rodents like squirrels, rats, beavers, and gophers.

This product works by using a series of highly evolved subtle mechanisms to keep rodents away from the target application.

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

Fencing, water pipes, agricultural films, tree guards, wires, cables, and other applications can be manufactured by incorporating our masterbatch. This will result in the end application being rodent repellent.

The liquid concentrate can be mixed with paint in a predetermined ratio and can be painted on the interior and exterior of houses, gardens, etc. to protect it from voles attack.

Lacquer is a topical application and compatible with most surfaces like polymer, wood, ceramic, metal, concrete, etc. It can be applied directly on pipes, tree guards, dripping systems.

Wood polish additive can be blended with wood polish and applied directly on wooden ornamentals and fences.

The ready-to-use Rodrepel™ spray can be sprayed on the infested area or the surface to be protected.

The product is compliant with RoHS, RoHS2, RoHS3, REACH, APVMA, NEA, EU-BPR, and FIFRA exempted.

By using Rodrepel™ you will get an effective and efficient solution against menace caused by voles and other rodents.

Toxic Tradeoff – Nasty Rodenticides Threatens Raptors!

Raptors are utterly incredible birds!

They have abducted and took flight with the human versatility over ages.  Hawks, owls, falcons, and other birds of prey appear in myths everywhere across the globe. Raptors that forage throughout the day have searing eyes which enhances an aggressive and dapper appearance.

They fly with strong wings and have crooked claws and sharp snout. Rodents on the ground surrender or flee as a raptor takes to the skies. They have a unique sense of smell and powerful vision. Although raptors are praised for their fierceness and fortitude, these omnivores are dying from second-generation blood-thinning rodenticide poisoning. They bleed miserably and become too helpless to prey or fly and this is pitiful!

These poisons do not kill rodents immediately. Rodents that have been poisoned can still live for few days and continue to consuming toxic bait which is enough to kill any raptor. After consuming the toxin, rodents emerge from their burrows in search of water. They are vulnerable, making them ideal prey for predators. When an animal consumes a poisonous rodent, the toxin is passed on to the animal.

Poisoning by rodenticides is highly prevalent. According to a study, 86% of all raptors at a Massachusetts wildlife hospital tested positive for exposure to rat poison.

These are recent shreds of evidence!

“Rodenticides in the environment pose threats to birds of prey”

A new scientific investigation from scientists of the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (Leibniz-IZW), the Julius Kühn Institute (JKI), and the German Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt — UBA) demonstrate that these substances are widely found in liver tissues of birds of prey from Germany.

Anticoagulant rodenticides, commonly used to kill rodents in agriculture and forestry, were frequently detected, particularly in birds of prey close to or in urban environments.

Especially northern goshawks in the urban conurbation of Berlin and red kites in all habitats were frequently exposed to rodenticides. Evidence of rodenticides in white-tailed sea eagles demonstrated that scavengers occupying habitats more distant from human-modified landscapes are subjected to exposure as well.

“Remains of Captiva eaglet contained traces of rat poison”

On March 16, CROW reported that the liver tissue of the female eaglet, named Hope, was found to contain markedly increased levels of brodifacoum, as well as traces of difenacoum. Both are second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides or rat poison. Anticoagulant rodenticides prevent the blood from clotting normally and cause an animal that has ingested a toxic amount to bleed to death.

Rodents that ingest the poison often become disoriented or lethargic as they are dying and become easy prey for eagles, hawks, owls, and other predators, passing the poison through the food chain.

These incidents proved that second-generation rodenticide kills more than rodents!

It takes a few days for the bird to die from these rodenticides; since they lose so much blood that they are unable to fly away. Along with raptors many other predators and scavengers like red foxes, grey foxes, coyotes, wolves, raccoons, black bears, skunks, badgers, mountain lions, and bobcats are on the brink of extinction because of exposure to this poison.

A young mountain lion found dead in Valencia. Subsequent testing indicated that he had been exposed to five anti-coagulant rodenticide compounds and bromethalin.

Also, rodenticides accounted for 0.3% of 2.3 million human exposures.

The appearance of raptors in the wild is indeed a good indicator of environmental health. Predators at the top of the food chain are birds of prey. These scavengers also hold a crucial ecological role by eliminating rodent and other small mammal populations. They’re known as indicator species. The analysis of raptor population trends is a cost-effective and reliable way to detect the environmental change, empowering us to take conservation action based on the most up-to-date empirical proof.

Rodent infestations have ravaged residential areas for thousands of years, but our measures to curb rodents have harmful effects on wildlife that we see today. The most common method to control rodents is the use of second-generation rodenticides, which function analogously to a heavily guarded warfarin. Even after the EPA’s new controls, predators will continue to suffer from grisly death because of these blood-thinning toxins, which are still sold in bulk at agricultural supply stores.

So, what are some non-poisonous methods for mitigating rodent problems without disturbing the food chain?

Well, we at C Tech Corporation have come up with a blend of smart technology and green chemistry that does not kill, only repels these pesky creatures while ensuring commitment towards the environment.

Rodrepel™ is an extremely low-toxic, extremely low-hazardous, non-carcinogenic, non-mutagenic anti-rodent, and animal aversive.

This one-of-a-kind product is effective not only on rodents but also works well on a wide range of other animals, including grizzly bears.

Rodrepel™ is available in various variants such as masterbatch, liquid concentrate, lacquer, wood polish additive, and spray.

The masterbatch can be incorporated into polymeric applications like cable sheathing, pipes, trolleys, agricultural films, silo bags, etc. which makes them rodent resistant.

The liquid concentrate can be mixed with paint in a pre-determined ratio and can be applied on interior or exterior walls of building and coating mechanical equipments also it can be diluted and sprayed using hand sprayer on the affected area to keep rodents at bay!

Lacquer is a topical application and compatible with most surfaces including ceramic, polymer, wood, concrete, metal, etc. It can be directly applied to existing wires and cables, pipes, fences, floorings, and equipments.

Wood polish additive can be blended with wood polish and can be used directly onto wooden articles to prevent them from gnawing rodents.

The spray is easy-to-use and comes in 2 variants i.e. Rodrepel™ Sticky Spray and Rodrepel™ Non-Sticky Spray. The sticky spray is especially for wires and cables. And non-sticky spray can be directly used anywhere where rodent infestation has occurred.

Rodrepel™ is inert and thermally stable and does not degrade on exposure to heat and sunlight. Our product is ROHS, EU-BPR, REACH, APVMA, NEA compliant and FIFRA exempted.

Using this tactic is indeed eco-sustainable, but it is also cost-effective because of its prolonged protection.
