Gophers are among the most devastating rodents one can find. These destructive animals are medium-sized with small ears and mostly-hairless tails. They feed on grass, roots and bulbs.  They like to burrow in open spaces such as grounds, fields and backyards of houses. Gophers prefer living underground and rarely surface during daytime. They have large incisors and strong front legs with sharp claws that they use for burrowing. Once they are on your property, they start making tunnels all around. They have also been known to damage the foundations of structures by making multiple burrows underground and loosening the soil. They have the unique ability to crawl backwards. Their tails help them navigate tiny, dingy holes in reverse making it easy for them to move around and find their way.

They have fur-lined pockets inside of their cheeks, earning them the name pocket gophers. These pockets can hold a surprisingly large amount of food, enabling them to fill it and go back to their underground spot to enjoy their meal in peace.

Because of their diet, gophers are found on all grassy areas. Their presence in backyards, lawns and golf courses, though very common, are very difficult to detect. This is because they spend most of their time underground and hardly ever surface. On top of that, while burrowing, they make tiny mounds out of the dirt they have pushed out, which people often confuse to be mole-hills and take measures against mole-infestation. This fails to solve the gopher-problem and all the money and efforts employed are wasted!

Gophers are very detrimental to farmers and people who like to do backyard-gardening. Gophers eat away the roots and bulbs, and even flowers causing plants to die-off or produce subpar yields, causing major losses financially. Apart from this, gophers also gnaw the underground cables and wires laid and the pipes that run below surface.

The menace they cause is huge and many programs have been setup to eradicate them. However, they always find a way to come back. Some of the incidences of Gopher menace and actions taken against it are reported below:

Gophers have moved up on most wanted list

Tim Krohn | Jan 9, 2021

“The “bounty” was an annual ritual of the County Board setting the bounty price for pocket gophers and striped gophers, which are officially called thirteen-lined ground squirrels. For the uninitiated, gopher bounties have been paid by rural townships across the state for more than a century.

Meyer asked the board to set a $1 per gopher reimbursement to townships in the coming year. Paap offered robust and nostalgic support for the program. As a farm kid, he and other boys spent a lot of time trapping gophers and said it’s a tradition a lot of farm dads and grandpas hand down.

The board was being asked to set this year’s bounty reimbursement to townships at $1 per gopher. When asked if he recalled how much the bounty was decades ago when he was trapping gophers, Paap said he remembered it well. “It was $1.”Commissioner Mark Piepho, noting the unchanged bounty fee, said, “We’re getting our money’s worth.”

Meyer noted the annual budget for gopher bounty reimbursements is $100 a year — out of a county budget of $114 million. Bounties for gophers, as well as ground hogs, crows and in the past rattlesnakes, have been enshrined in state law. Since at least 1904, state statutes on bounties were set and they’ve been updated ever since.

While the striped gophers are cute little things, the pocket gopher — with its hairless tail, large beaver-like teeth and gray coat — lacks any cuteness factor. Many people have never seen a pocket gopher because they spend virtually their entire life digging underground. Those little mounds of dirt you might see in road ditches, or even in your yard, are courtesy of pocket gophers.In recent years there also has been bonus money added to Minnesota townships’ bounties, courtesy of telecommunications companies. Some telecommunications firms offer to double the bonus in an effort to limit damage done by pocket gophers. Like beaver, pocket gophers’ long teeth continually grow and they need to chew on hard things to keep them worn down and sharp. Turns out the pocket gophers have developed a taste for bundled fiber-optic wires. The underground cables are wrapped in an outer jacket, but pocket gophers still gnaw through the armored coating, costing telecommunications companies a lot of money in repairs.”

City Commission Receives Update on Squirrel and Gopher Abatement

STAFF REPORT | Published on Thursday, October 8, 2020 | 11:48 am

“The overpopulation of ground squirrels and gophers in areas like Brookside Golf Course and Hahamongna Watershed Park can become problematic if left unchecked, according to a city staff report to the Parks and Recreation Commission.

Community Services heard an update on squirrel and gopher abatement at its meeting on Tuesday.

“The overpopulation of these pests can pose a public health concern due to the diseases they may carry,” city staff wrote in a report included in the agenda. “Some of the diseases that could be transmitted to humans include typhus and bubonic plague. Additionally the overpopulation of these pests can damage infrastructure, habitat and maintenance equipment.”

According to documents included in the agenda, the city’s parks division has partnered with the Los Angeles County Department of Agriculture to manage the overpopulation of squirrels and gophers.

The city used a variety of methods to catch the rodents, including bait traps and diphacinone. Diphacinone is an anticoagulant bait that comes in a pellet, liquid and powder forms.

Park staff do not engage in any chemical pest control [such as fumigants or bait stations]; however, efforts have been made to explore alternative methods to control overpopulation,” according to a staff report. “The Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have determined that carbon monoxide delivery devices will be regulated as pest control devices, not as pesticides. Park staff has contacted vendors to demonstrate this method to evaluate the applicability to park operations. No determinations have been made at this time.”

Pocket gophers and ground squirrels are classified as nongame mammals by the California Department of Fish and Game. The populations may be controlled at any time by legal means.Pocket gophers can inflict damage by invading gardens and lawns as well as agricultural crops. They can damage trees and also gnaw on and damage plastic water lines and lawn irrigation systems. Their mounds can interfere and damage lawn mowing equipment. The mounds also provide a starting place for invasive weeds in landscape and agricultural areas. Pocket gopher burrows can weaken ditch banks and canals. Irrigation water diverted through their tunnels can be carried away and can lead to soil erosion.”

Though gophers cause all these destructions, they play a very important role in nature. Their burrowing aerates the soil, making it healthy for plants to grow. They effectively mix soil with the fecal matters present making it more fertile.  Their actions also lead to more minerals coming to the surface of the soil, thus speeding up the process of formation of new soil.

Thus, it makes it very important to make gophers stay away from our business, while taking care that they are not destroyed by us.

We, at C-Tech Corporation, understand the plight and have developed green, environment- friendly, non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-mutagenic and non-carcinogenic solutions to combat the problem.

Our product, Rodrepel™, 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 not only against gophers but also other such rodents including mice, rats, squirrels and beavers.

The smell of the product triggers a fear response in the rodents approaching it. Aggressive rodents that still tries to gnaw experiences severe temporary distress in their mucous membrane. After this unpleasant encounter, the animal instinctively perceives it as something it should stay away from and stores this information for future reference. Rodents are extremely social animals and the fact that certain rodents are repelled is mimicked by others as well. Thus, the other rodents too stay away from the applications treated with Rodrepel™. This experience is imprinted within the animal’s memory and passed on to its progeny, creating natural aversion towards the product, thus protecting treated applications.

Employing this technique is not only sustainable for the environment, it is also cost-effective because of the long term protection it provides.  

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

The masterbatch can be incorporated in cable sheathings and pipes while being manufactured to keep the gophers from chewing on them. The product in the form of liquid concentrate can be diluted in paints and organic solvents and applied to applications as well. The lacquer which is a topical applicant can be directly applied to the already installed wires and cables and area around the house. The wood polish additives can be mixed with the wood polish and applied on wooden surfaces, like the fence around your gardens and lawns and on areas where the agricultural produce are stored. The spray can be directly used on various surfaces and can be sprayed wherever the possible entry points are. It is an easy-to-use method.  

This will effectively prevent the gophers from entering and destroying your manicured lawns and gardens in full bloom.   

Rodrepel^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 rodents pose a humungous problem for hotel owners and authorities today. Their numbers are overwhelming and their presence is revolting! In spite of their tiny stature, the problems they carry are huge and many. At places like hotels and restaurants, their presence is especially horrifying because of the implications they pose. No one ever likes to see a rat running or a cockroach scurrying out of the kitchen where the food just they ate was prepared.

Rats, however, find restaurant kitchens very tempting. For them, it is an easy, unlimited food source. They like to live in the ceilings, in the food storage units, and also utensil cabinets. The leftover food, which is usually thrown in dumpsters nearby also attract rodents in huge numbers. As soon as they find a convenient place, not only do they spread filth but they also start breeding. This brings about an endless circle of rats and mice thriving in the place.

Although the management tries their best to keep rodents away, it is a recurring problem and it happens more than one would like for it to happen. Customers find themselves in the horrible situation of seeing rats and cockroaches in the restaurants they are dining in. Food safety and hygiene become a very important issue that is compromised when the kitchens and storage units are rodent-ridden. These rodents bring with them a plethora of pathogenic germs. They can gnaw on wires, cables and other structurally important things causing large-scale losses for the hotels. Such situations are most unfortunate for hotel management authorities. If reported to and caught by the food safety authority, it can lead to permanent shutting down of the outlet. Food safety practices have become stricter over the years. Restaurants that do not maintain their hygiene standards and do not comply with the food legislation have either paid hefty fines or have been served discontinuation notices.

Some evidence of the same are given below:

COCKROACHES, RAT DROPPINGS AMONG REASONS FOR 42 FOOD BUSINESS CLOSURES IN 2020

IRELAND

08/01/2021 | 11:40 AM

JAMES COX

Evidence of rodent infestations and the presence of cockroaches were among the reason for the closure of 42 food businesses in 2020.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) today stated that 42 Enforcement Orders were served on food businesses for breaches in food safety legislation in 2020, a decrease of 67 per cent in comparison to 125 Enforcement Orders served in 2019.

The drop in numbers largely reflects the impact of Covid-19, where large numbers of food service businesses were temporarily closed for long periods throughout the year, and is not necessarily due to improved food safety practices.

The FSAI reiterated the importance of robust food safety management systems and stressed that the legal responsibility lies with food businesses to ensure that the food they sell is compliant with food safety legislation and is safe to eat.

Between January 1st and December 31st, 2020, 31 Closure Orders, two Improvement Orders and nine Prohibition Orders were issued by environmental health officers in the Health Service Executive (HSE), veterinary inspectors in the local authorities and officers of the FSAI on food businesses throughout the country.

Filthy conditions

The types of recurring food safety issues that led to Enforcement Orders in 2020 were: unregistered and unsupervised food businesses; filthy conditions; evidence of rodent infestations and rodent droppings; the presence of cockroaches; failure to maintain temperatures of foodstuffs; unsuitable food storage facilities; and improper or lack of water facilities.

Dr Pamela Byrne, chief executive, FSAI stressed the serious nature of a food business being served an Enforcement Order.

She said: “While in a normal year it would be very encouraging to see such a substantial drop in the need for Enforcement Orders, in 2020, however it is likely that most of the reduction reflects the temporary closure of food businesses for many months due to COVID-19 restrictions. Notwithstanding this, 42 Enforcement Orders are still too many, as it shows that, unfortunately, there continues to be a minority of food businesses not complying with their legal requirements.”

“All food businesses must recognise that they are legally bound to ensure that the food they produce is safe to eat. Consumers have a right to safe food. Food businesses must comply with food law and all breaches of food safety legislation will be dealt with to the full extent of the law,” Ms. Byrne added.    

NEW YORK CHIPOTLE FORCED TO CLOSE DUE TO AVOCADO-EATING RATS

New Delhi Published: Dec 10, 2020

A rat helping a chef churn out lip-smacking food can only happen in movies like Ratatouille. In reality, rats are a menace to hotels and restaurants. The rodent may be an important part of ecosystem, food chains and whatnot, nobody wants anything to do with rats around their food.

A sustained onslaught from rats has brought a branch of fast-food giant Chipotle to its knees. These rats not only took liking to Avocado, the favourite snack staple of New Yorkers, but also attacked staff of the restaurant, as per news reports.

This branch of Chipotle is located in Upper Manhattan.

“It’s pure chaos every time a rat appears,” an employee named Melvin Paulino was quoted by New York Post as saying.

The rat infestation is so much that even though the restaurant is shut, employees have to come to clean-up so that the problem doesn’t get worse.

The issue began in summer this year when the staff found half-eaten Avocados. The rats took particular liking to the expensive fruit so much that the staff was forced to keep Avocados inside freezers just to save them from rats.

But then, more issues started. Bags of rice were found to have been chewed open, the rice eaten. And the mice also took to chewing electric wires that resulted in problems for computer systems in the store.

Efforts were made to contain the damage. But the problem became so big that the store could no longer handle orders as computer systems and wires were too badly damaged by the rats. Such situations are extremely scary. To think that, all our defence systems have constantly failed when faced by these nettlesome little rodents, is worrisome. The high-tech security networks developed for keeping rats at bay have all proven to be only temporary. All solutions for their control and management are short-term and the rodents always seem to come back.

However, C-Tech Corporation has the perfect solution to keep them away and forever! We manufacture a range of extremely low toxicity, extremely low hazard, and environment-friendly rodent repellent products. Our product, Rodrepel™, is a blend of green chemistry and smart technology. It acts through a series of highly developed intricate mechanisms ensuring that rodents are kept away from the target application. Moreover, our eco-friendly product does not kill the target species but only repels them.

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.

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

The wood polish additive can be blended with wood polish and applied on the wooden articles, storage units and furniture. The product available in liquid concentrate can be diluted in paints and can be applied to already installed cables and wires, the coating of walls and other entry points. The liquid concentrate is compatible with all kinds of paints and solvents. This will keep the rodents away.

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

The LD50 value of Rodrepel™ is 50,000 mg/kg making it non-poisonous, which is an important parameter to be considered in the food industry. By using our products, you can get an effective and long-lasting solution against rodent nuisance.

Rats can make a home almost anywhere on the planet and survive in any circumstances. They infest homes, agriculture, food and they easily adjust to the environment. They are found near the grain storage field or near to poultry or other farms, buildings, industrial sites where the food is available. You can always find them in your cupboards, kitchen, storage room, back yard, kitchen gardens and almost everywhere around human beings.

Rat infestation in the house causes great damage to our living place mainly to food storage in the kitchen, cables, wires, books and clothes, and pipes as well! Rats try to gnaw or bite almost everything they wish to feed, which causes great loss of money.

Many of us tried to trap or have used products to keep rodents away from the house. Many of them succeeded to trap them or get rid of them temporarily. But the rats are now familiar with all these tricks and they have developed themselves to encounter such situations. Many rats live in sewage pipes and underground waste pipes and they can carry bacteria when they enter kitchens and food storage as they leave their stamp everywhere and anywhere which is highly dangerous to health especially kids in the house.

Killing rats is not the solution as it will affect the Eco-cycle or say food chain of environment because many creatures feed on them to survive on earth and so on.

Hundreds of rat infestation reports made in Solihull

By David IrwinLocal Democracy Reporter

Hundreds of reports of rat infestations were made by residents in Solihull last year.

A breakdown of the appointments that the borough’s pest control team attended in 2018/19 revealed that the lion’s share were in relation to the rodents.

Over the course of the 12 months, the exterminators were contacted about rats on 858 occasions – accounting for almost half of their 1,800 plus appointments.

Second on the list, in terms of the number of call-outs, was wasps and hornets; there were 558 appointments linked to the insects.

Mice were placed third (222 appointments) and there was also a surprising number of cases involving squirrels (88).

The remainder of the cases mostly related to various species of insect.

Rats are usually the type of vermin that causes people the most concern, not least because the animals spread a number of diseases.

On its website, the British Pest Control Association outlines some of the other potential problems.

“Rats can inflict an enormous amount of structural damage,” they said.

“They can cause severe fires by gnawing away the insulation around electrical cables, floods by puncturing pipes and even death by chewing through gas pipes.

“The insurance sector has estimated that rodent damage to wiring is responsible for 25 per cent of all electrical fires in buildings.”

There are various reasons why the rodents may present a problem, including food waste not being properly disposed of, nests being disturbed or defective drains inside people’s homes.

It tends to be more common to spot brown rats inside properties during the autumn and winter months, when the animals typically take shelter.

You can use products that repel these rodents instead of killing them thus balancing the eco-system.

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

Our product works on the mechanism of repellency. The product triggers a fear response in rodents thus protecting the application. It causes severe temporary distress to the mucous membrane of the rodents due to which the pest stays away from the application. The product triggers an unpleasant reaction in case if the pest tries to gnaw away the application. After encountering the above-mentioned emotions, the animal instinctively perceives it with something it should stay away from and stores this information for future reference. The fact that certain rodents are repelled is mimicked by other rodents as well. Thus, the other rodents too stay away from the applications. The unpleasant experience is imprinted within the animal’s memory and passed on to its progeny.

Our product is RoHS, RoHS2, RoHS3, REACH, EU BPR, APVMA, NEA compliant and FIFRA exempted. Our product does not cause harm to target as well as non-targeted species. It just repels them from the applied product. It works on the mechanism of repellency.

Rodrepel^TM is available in the forms of masterbatch, liquid concentrate, and lacquer.

Masterbatch can be incorporated into polymeric applications like fencing, water pipes, agricultural films, polymeric tree guards, wires, cables, etc. This would result in the final application being rodent repellent.

The liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints in a pre-determined ratio and be applied to the interior and exterior of houses, ceilings, gardens, farms, outhouses, etc. to repel roof rats from the area required.

Lacquer form can be directly applied to the already installed application such as attics, wooden fences, guards, pipes, wires, cables, etc. The lacquer is compatible with most of the surfaces like metal, wood, concrete, polymer, ceramic, etc.

We have developed our product in the form of a spray, the Rodrepel^TM rodent repellent spray which is an easy to use product. The product can be sprayed on components from warehouses, storage areas, attics, homes, etc. after clearing the dust and waste from components.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

Rats are the major agricultural pest across Asia. Rats are found in the irrigated rice crops, all seasons are favorable for rat’s reproduction as well as crop damage. Easy availability of food, water, shelter, and safety are the factors which provide them with optimum breeding conditions.

The rice field rats feed at night with the highest activity and at day time they are found among vegetation, maturing fields etc. The rice field rats pull the transplanted plants and they also chop down the young seedlings. At the heading stage when the panicles are visible, the rats feed on them and during ripening stage; they feed on developing rice grains.

Rat damage in the crops can be observed by the following sypmtoms:

• Missing germinating seeds
• Damaged young seedlings
• Missing of plants
• Irregular cuttings of stem
• Chewed ripening grains
•  Grain maturity delay
• Missing of  grains
• Missing of  panicles

In the traditional farming system, the rats generally cause chronic losses to production in the order of 5-10% per annum. Today it is not unusual for the farmers with smallholder rice farm to report chronic yield losses of 25-30% per annum. In many areas, farmers refuse from planting the second rice crop because of the damage done by rats.

In Asia, there is 5% of rice production loss which amounts to approximately 30 million; enough to feed about 200 million people each year. Post-harvest and pre-harvest losses are probably similar; from this it is clear that rats play an important role in influencing food security and poverty alleviation programs for the poor.  Rodent also causes some dangerous diseases which can affect human health badly.

Let’s have a look at some of the evidence,

 ‘Di lang leptospirosis! Rat damages Negos rice farms

Farmers in Negros Occidental lost some P8.4 million to rats that infested some 703 hectares of rice farms there from July to August, the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist said.

Provincial Agriculturist Japhet Masculino said crop damage was monitored in four barangays in San Enrique, 11 in Valladolid, and three in Bago City in southern Negros Occidental; and four barangays of Cadiz City in the north.

This affected 507 farmers with a combined rice field area of 703.66 hectares, the OPA said.

Bago City, considered the rice bowl of Negros Occidental, sustained the highest losses at P6.06 million, with 344 farmers and 467.24 hectares affected.

In Valladolid, 89 farmers with 113 hectares of rice farms sustained P1.6 million in losses while in San Enrique, 61 farmers with 112.45 hectares lost P473, 514.

Meanwhile, in Cadiz, 13 farmers with 10.97 hectares sustained P226, 830 in losses.

 Oh rats! They’re eating away at our rice

 KEPALA BATAS: Penang’s padi fields are facing a growing and gnawing rat menace that began after the disastrous flooding of the mainland last November.

The ricefield rat (Rattus argentiventer), which can produce five to 10 offspring each month, has been ravaging padi fields in Kepala Batas.

To date, these rats have decimated crops in nearly 29ha in Paya Keladi belonging to 50 farmers, said Integrated Agriculture Development Area (IADA) Penang director Mohd Nazri Abu Seman.

Traditional approaches to rodent population and damage management have relied on direct reduction of populations using fumigation, rodenticide baits, rodent traps which is of no use.

We need to come up with the solution to increase agricultural need.

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

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

Our product Rodrepel™ is an extremely low toxic, low hazard rodent aversive. This product acts through a series of highly developed intricate mechanism ensuring that rodents are kept away from the target application. Our eco-friendly products do not kill the target species but only repel them.

The product triggers a fear response in rodents thus protecting the application. It causes severe temporary distress to the mucous membrane of the rodents due to which the pest stays away from the application. The product triggers an unpleasant reaction in case if the pest tries to gnaw away the application. After encountering the above-mentioned emotions, the animal instinctively perceives it with something it should stay away from and stores this information for future reference. The fact that certain rodents are repelled is mimicked by other rodents as well. Thus, the other rodents too stay away from the applications. The unpleasant experience is imprinted within the animal’s memory and passed on to its progeny.

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

Our   Rodrepel™ masterbatch can be incorporated in the agricultural films, polymer mulches, greenhouse films, polymer sprinklers, irrigation pipes, plastic parts from pumps and tractors used in the fields.

The product available in liquid concentrate can be diluted in paints and can be applied to already installed cables and wires, fence and tree guards, the coating of walls and other entry points. The liquid concentrate is compatible with all kinds of paints and solvents.

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

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

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

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

Rodents are known as the scourge of many gardens. Mice, rats, and many other rodents not only cause damage from tunneling through the lawn and garden, but they can also eventually enter your home after colonizing the garden.

Rodents are the unwelcome visitors in the garden. Like any other living creature, rodents are in search of food, water and shelter, garden simply appears to be the best place for rodents to multiply and thrive.

Do Rodents eat plants?

Yes, rodents eat garden plants and they are especially fond of seeds, therefore a newly planted garden seeds are a favorite target for them.

Rodents not only destroy the hard work by eating the plant in the garden but they can also infect the garden with many serious diseases and pathogens. Disease like the salmonellosis can be spread by rat’s droppings including Leptospirosis disease. Once the garden is infected by the rat’s droppings, watering the plant can spread the bacteria from the ground and can further spread onto leaves and fruit

The specific areas of the garden to check for rodent infestations are:

• Sheds: Rats and gophers tunnel under sheds and set up home for them.
• Garbage bins: Garbage bins are the most attractive place for the rodents as it provides them waste food.
•  Wood Piles: Wood piles are the most attractive places for rodents to build their nests.
• Bird feeders: Birds drop seeds in the garden, which can attract the rodents. The seeds which are stored can be attractive to many rodents.

Let us have a look at some of the evidence for rodent’s nuisance in garden,

Hundreds of rats swarm Cork woman’s garden leaving her family in fear

Amanda Feeney from Killala Gardens in Knocknaheeny, Cork, said that she can’t even hang her laundry out as the rodents have taken over.

The mum of three children under eight, claims that illegal dumping in the area is causing the problem with cars pulling up and chucking black bags full of rubbish into the estate.

The problem is so bad that she had to get rid of her two dogs as the rats would fight to get their food and frighten them off.

They have eaten through her wheelie bin, her garden shed, climbed her back wall and roam freely around her front and back gardens, leaving her terrified.

Rat problem forces community garden in Harlem to be shut down

HARLEM, Manhattan (WABC) —

Too many rats have forced community leaders to shut down a garden in Harlem.

People in the neighborhood say it all started when a building was being torn down, and that sent the rats over.

The rats are bold and unafraid because they definitely outnumber the farmers. The rats came over when an old abandoned church was demolished across the street.

“And at some point they start crossing the street and jumping into the garden,” said neighbor Alejandro Ibanez. “And I could see them digging and trying to find their way in.”

The rats have taken up residence and so the rare green space where children played, neighbors met and families barbecued, is closed.

Traditional approaches to rodent population and damage management have relied on direct reduction of populations using rodenticide baits or rodent traps which is of no use.

Flying squirrel is the type of rodent which can be more appropriately called as gliding squirrels, although their name is flying squirrel in real they don’t fly but glide. They glide using a thin skin between their front leg and back leg that allows them to glide through the air from one tree to another tree. In a single glide, a flying squirrel can cover more than 150 feet. They have originated around 19 to 20 million years ago. The life expectancy of the flying squirrel is about 6 years.

Flying squirrels are nocturnal and are known to make huge noise especially during the night between the sunsets and have a high sense of smell. They can enter the attics through small cracks and crevices by chewing up the area for wide and large entry point as they are smaller than the gray squirrel. The typical habitat of the flying squirrel is inside hardwoods.

 Let’s have look at some of the evidence,

Students report flying squirrel infestation in Terraces

The Office of Facilities is working to address student reports that flying squirrels have been scurrying around in the Terraces Residence Halls at Ithaca College.

 The reports of flying squirrels were in Terraces 6 and 9. Facilities addressed the problem by sealing off where the squirrels had entered, said Ernie McClatchie, executive director in the Department of Facilities, Grounds and Transportation. Facilities first received reports of flying squirrels in Terrace 9 in mid-November and from Terrace 6 in early December. McClatchie said this is the first time he is aware that squirrels have accessed the dorms and were reported to Facilities.

 One of the students who filed a report to Facilities, sophomore Zachary Ashcraft, said the issue first arose Nov. 26 when he heard a rustling noise coming from under his bed. Two weeks later, he heard the same sound again, and Ashcraft and a friend used a granola bar to lure out and catch a glimpse of what he thought was a mouse.

 Ashcraft’s friend called the Office of Public Safety and Emergency Management, who told Ashcraft that there had been issues of flying squirrels in Terrace 6. Ashcraft was told by Public Safety to put in a work order with Facilities. Facilities put a trap in Ashcraft’s room three days later, and the trap failed to catch the squirrel, Ashcraft said. Facilities came back a day later to fill in the hole the squirrels were entering in from, and Ashcraft has not had issues with flying squirrels since.

Sophomore Julia Driscoll also said she experienced issues with flying squirrels; though, for her, the response from Facilities was not as fast. Driscoll said that the Sunday after Thanksgiving break, Nov.

Atkins’ roommate saw four squirrels in his room at one time Dec. 3, and Atkins said he was told by maintenance that the squirrels got in through the area surrounding the pipes in the walls. 25, she heard what sounded like a mouse, which was caught the day after. That same day, however, while she was at her desk, a flying squirrel jumped onto it and ran off.

Hungry flying squirrels strip, eat bark from pecan trees
Lenny Wells

Many growers have recently called about the bark being stripped from their trees. This normally occurs on smooth-barked limbs or central leaders 3 inches or less in diameter. The culprits here are flying squirrels.
When food sources become scarce, flying squirrels will strip the bark off smooth barked branches to feed on the tree’s cambium. If they completely girdle the limb or central leader at any point on the tree, the limb or leader will die from that point upward. If the damage does not completely girdle the limb or tree, the wound normally heals over with time. Flying squirrels are nocturnal. Their home range is usually no more than an acre so damage tends to be isolated to certain spots in the orchard.

We at C Tech Corporation make use of Mother Nature’s  gift of senses given to these pests.

Presence of Gophers is a serious problem, as it destroys the underground utility cables and wires, water lines, irrigation pipes etc. Damage done by Gopher is severe in the fall and spring when they are active near the soil surface. Pocket gophers are the rodents whose size is from 5 to 14 inches long.

Pocket gophers have pouches outside their mouth, on each side of the face there is on pouches. As these pockets can be turned inside and outside and they are used to carry food.  They have fur with black, brown and white colors. Pocket gophers heads are small flattened and have small ears and eyes.

Gophers are one the one which are extremely well adapted and built for an underground existence. The gopher lives most of its life below the surface where they dig a burrow system. A gopher can create large mounds. Gopher can dig extensively which can be very deep up to several hundred feet. As they dig burrows, they push the soil to the surface due to which a mound is created, usually in the shape of a fan. Gopher tunnels are sometimes not visible on the ground surface due to their deeper location.

Let’s have a look at the evidence,

Gopher chews through fiber optic line

Frontier Communications technicians were called out early on Nov. 14 after a fiber optic cable line was cut in the McCornick area, effectively downing services across the county.

According to Paul Clark, data and phone services were lost countywide around 3 a.m., after gophers chewed through a 48-strand fiber.

“Everything on the east side of the county was down,” Clark said. “Anyone on a circuit would have been affected.”

The outage knocked out emergency services, causing 911 calls to be rerouted to a backup in Richfield.

“This happens about once or twice a year,” said Clark about pest damage to fiber optic lines. “And of course it had to happen in the middle of the night.”

Approximately 900 feet of fiber was replaced, covered in conduit, and buried underground. The conduit should deter or slow rodent damage, Clark said.

The Millard County Sheriff’s Office reported 911 was rerouted back to local offices around 4:30 p.m. Circuits were repaired by 9:30 p.m., with services operational by midnight, Clark said.

As of Nov. 19, all services “should be up and running,” Clark said. If customers are still experiencing difficulties connecting or have no service, contact Frontier.

Delta customers now have the chance to experience wireless Internet across the city. Newly installed, the new routers have signal that broadcasts up to five miles outside of city limits, Clark said.

Gopher Bounties Still an Incentive for Trappers in Sherburne County, Elsewhere

Jerry Ehlenfelt would likely continue trapping pocket gophers regardless.

The burrowing rodents and the mounds they create pose a nuisance on the 30 acres of land the retired Vietnam veteran owns between Big Lake and Elk River in Sherburne County.

But, the $2 per gopher bounty he’s able to collect from Big Lake Township each year makes the time he spends doing so even more worthwhile.

“It definitely provides you with a little more incentive to go out and get them,” said Ehlenfelt, who turned in around 55 gophers last year. “I’d probably have to do it anyway. Those mounds can become a real issue

For many numerous years, many attempts were made to keep away rats, mice away from homes storage bins & other areas. Most commonly traps & poison are used to kill this vermin. In addition, to create dead animal disposal problems, traps & poison also pose dangers to children & pets.

Rather than to try to kill the rats, better is to deter them in entering the area. It’s a belief that if a rat slayer neglects to sufficiently cover up his or her violent act with soil, members of the dead rat’s coven will seek revenge.

For over a year now, this small ragtag army of ravenous rodents possessing extra-strong teeth, crouch surreptitiously in the dark secret space between the ceiling and the roof during the daytime, as humans scurry beneath them, ignorant of the insidious plans fermenting in those small, yet sharp and focused animal brains.

Despite the animals’ obvious taunting of our human authority, however, none of us had even tried to eradicate these nasty nocturnal attackers.

Rodents cause damage to seating in rail coaches, air conditioners, food served in railways are mostly infected by rodent urine & feces, as rodents are always their prime visitors in the pantry section. They are a carrier of numerous dangerous diseases.

Armies of rodents have made railway stations across the state their home, posing a serious threat to the safe passage of trains and commuters, the problem is getting serious with rats digging deep burrows under the railway tracks, due to which tracks had become loose. This had disturbed the train services

Platforms had become a breeding ground for rats due to food items thrown on platforms. Besides, the grains from goods trains provide more food to them. Lakhs of huge rats infest trains and breed along platforms.

In railways, Rodrepel®™ can be used to paint the undercarriage, walls of the railway coaches and the galvanized surfaces of the pantry. It remains active as long as the paint last which is about 18 months. The window sides, bed linen storage area, seat corners, electric board, dustbin, lavatory were coated with the lacquer. The pantry and AC coaches were painted as well. Entire body panel was painted to make it completely rodent proof.

They can damage our home & furniture by gnawing on the wood. They can chew through the plaster walls & enlarge existing holes in the wood so they can easily have access to their food resources.  They can easily enter into our cars & can chew away the wirings, tore away seats covering, which can lead to costly repairs afterward. Lacquer based solution incorporated with Rodrepel®™ can be used to paint this cars & furnitures which will repel these rodents from entering & damaging the property.

Rodrepel®™ which is an innovative product of C Tech Corporation is useful to repel rodents in a non-hazardous way, not by killing them but by repelling & making use of the sensory mechanism. The product is made up from natural oils & and is free from toxic chemical and heavy metals.

Rodrepel®™ is available in form of masterbatch based on LDPE as well as EVA polymeric granules. Recommended addition level of these masterbatches is 1%-5%. It is effective over a very long span of time. (15-40 years)It does not interfere with the physical & mechanical properties of the polymer.

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.
