“Hey brother, have you checked out this new restaurant at St. Martin Street? Let’s check out their pantry today” this could be one of the normal day to day conversations that rodents have.

But how do they communicate? How does an aged rat share his words of wisdom with his grandchildren; how do rats have their intense discussions on the potential spots for harborage and food for their family. Of course, they do not have 6500 types of languages as we do. Then how do they pass on the information that they gather? Let us decode the secret that these “telepathic rats” use to transmit messages.

Rats are blessed with a very strong sense of smell and taste. They have about 500 to 1000 types of olfactory receptors, coded for by between 500 and 1,000 genes, and one out of every 100 genes is involved in the detection of odors. The rat’s sense of smell registers not only average scents but also the presence of chemicals that denote a change in atmosphere or emotion.

The journey of any odorant dispersed in the air begins by first passing through a patch of skin rich with smell receptors and olfactory neurons, which are tipped with hair-like cilia. Smell particles bind to the cilia. From here the odorant makes its way to the olfactory bulbs where they meet about 2000 baskets like structures called ‘glomeruli’. The journey ends with the activation of glomeruli which results in giving a perception of smell to the rat. Different patterns of glomeruli are activated when a rat smells different odors.

Now to communicate information amongst each other rodents make use of their second type of sense organ known as the Vomeronasal organ (VNO), which primarily detects ‘pheromones’, the chemical signals transmitted between members of the same species. Pheromones are mainly found in rat’s excreta, urine and also in any other glandular secretions.

For example, consider a case of automobiles. If a rat finds a car suitable and safe for shelter, hiding or for storing food, mice living hundreds of miles away will gain this knowledge through pheromones. The little critter simply marks the car with a peculiar scent. So even if you get rid of a rat today, there is always a possibility of future infestations due to this internal communication between them.

Another very interesting phenomenon observed in rats is their way of carrying forwarding valuable information to the coming generations for dealing with many difficult situations they need to face.

For example, every rat’s environment is filled with many potential foods and with many non-consumable foods like poisons, rocks, plastics and so forth. Then how does the rat figure out what to eat?

Before birth: In utero, fetal rats detect odor-bearing particles that come from their mother’s diet and cross the placental barrier. Shortly after birth, newborn rats respond positively to these foods. Therefore, they start learning about what to eat from their mother before they’re even born.

During nursing: Nursing rats receive information about their mother’s diet through her milk. They prefer the foods she ate during lactation.

Weaning: When young rats are weaning and eating solid foods for the first time, they use adult rats as guides. They forage where the adults are foraging or where adults have previously scent-marked.

Adolescence and adulthood: When rats forage on their own, their food choices are influenced by social interactions that may take place far away from foraging sites. They smell foods on the fur, whiskers and especially the breath of other rats and strongly prefer the foods that those rats had consumed.

Also, a study conducted by neuroscientists at Emory University found that fear can travel quickly through generations of mice DNA

In the experiment, researchers taught male mice to fear the smell of cherry blossoms by associating the scent with mild foot shocks. Two weeks later, they bred with females. The resulting pups were raised to adulthood having never been exposed to the smell.

Yet when the critters caught a whiff of it for the first time, they suddenly became anxious and fearful. They were even born with more cherry-blossom-detecting neurons in their noses and more brain space devoted to cherry-blossom-smelling.

The memory transmission extended out another generation when these male mice bred, and similar results were found.

Rats cause huge damages in many areas like automobiles, agriculture, electronics, gas sector, hotel industries etc. The loss is even more due to their ability to transmit information amongst each other regarding the vulnerable targets to attack. Thus we need a solution.

At  C Tech Corporation we make use of the mother nature’s gift of senses to these rodents in formulating an extremely low toxicity and extremely low hazard and environmental products which act as repellants and do not kill.

Rodrepel^TM  is an extremely low toxicity and extremely low hazard and eco-friendly rodent aversive. Rodrepel^TM is available in form of masterbatches, liquid concentrate and lacquer and is specially designed for polymeric applications. It can be incorporated into nearly all base polymers like HDPE, MDPE, LDPE, PVC, PE, etc.

The mechanism followed by our product is repellence, it affects their olfactory senses and prevents them from attacking the substrate and also does not aid in killing the target species. The product does not interfere with the working of the end application it is used in. It is stable at high temperatures; does not leach out or produce any toxic fumes and has a long shelf life.

In a relaxation showdown, trains are doubtlessly the most laidback style of travel, allowing us to sit back, relax, and enjoy the picturesque view. Luckily, some of the world’s most beautiful destinations are also home to the most scenic train rides. What a great way to rejuvenate! But what if notorious co-passengers like rats, bedbugs, and cockroaches also wish to accompany us? It would not take long for an ecstatic train ride to transform into a grisly nightmare!

Though Indian Railways are known for taking strict measures against freeloaders, hundreds of rats are traveling across the countryside, without a ticket.

Rats, the little devils in disguise, have a single pair of unremittingly growing incisors in each of the upper and lower jaws. Most of the time rats gnaw to fulfill a portion of their dietary habits. If, however, rats do not have an adequate dietary reason or opportunity to exercise their incisors, there is a danger of the teeth “overgrowing”. In these cases, the incisors can prevent their mouth from closing (severely restricting their ability to eat), or the teeth may actually cause injury to the animal, including puncturing the roof of the mouth. The smooth texture, sweet odor and bright color of cables attract them. The railway sector has to bear huge economic losses, solely due to rats gnawing and damaging cables.

Rail cabling holds vital data within it and is responsible for controlling the signaling infrastructure of its railways. Damage to these cables could cause electrical short circuits, incorrect signals, miscommunications, and fires. July 2014 saw a collision in South Western France between a high-speed TGV and Regional train leaving 40 passengers badly injured, all because of a signal malfunction created by rat activity. 

Rodents are a nuisance for the passengers traveling in trains especially in A.C. coaches. The number of complaints of rats scurrying around pantry cars of long-distance trains is on the rise.

Some latest news rodent menace in Railways coaches

1. Rats on board AC coaches of Kerala trains

Published on: Jul 6, 2015, 04.15 AM IST

With travelers often complaining of the rat menace on trains from the coastal state, a city-based cultural body of Malayalees plans to ask people to carry traps along to combat the rodent problem. The latest person at the receiving end is a Thane couple who traveled in an air-conditioned coach of 16346 Netravati express from Kerala to Thane on Saturday. The rodents, they said, had damaged their luggage and food packets. Complaints to officials on board fell on deaf ears.

2. Rattled Passengers Complain To Railway Ministry about Rat Menace on Trains

Published on: Aug 03, 2015 at 17:57

The Indian Railways acknowledged on August 3, that it has a major rat problem. “Yes, some complaints and references are being received regarding the presence of rats in coaches,” Union Minister of State for Railways Manoj Sinha said in a written reply in Lok Sabha.

3. Rattled in AC first class, couple claims Rs 10 lakh compensation

Published on: Jan 06, 2016 18:21 IST, Hindustan Times, Ranchi

A Ranchi couple has claimed Rs 10 lakh as compensation for alleged rat bites in the AC first class compartment of a Kolkata-bound train.

PC Sinha (72) and his wife Alka Sinha (62) were traveling in Kriya Yoga Express from Ranchi to Howrah on December 30 last year. Around midnight, Sinha, a retired chief engineer in Bokaro Steel Limited, was allegedly bitten by rodents and had to take rabies vaccines after reaching Kolkata.

Rodents not only target our coach interiors, but they can also affect our trains in other ways. Let us see a few articles below;

1. Railway spends Rs 10 crore to get rid of rats at Delhi stations

Published on: India TV News Desk Updated 07 Dec 2015

Irritated over the menace of rats in large railways stations such as New Delhi, Delhi, Hazrat Nizamuddin, and Sarai Rohila, authorities had chalked out a plan of Rs 10 crore, hiking its Rs 6 crore expenditure of previous year.

2. Rattled: Rodents derail trains in Jharkhand’s rebel hotbed
   Published on: Nov 24, 2015, Hindustan Times, India

In Jharkhand’s Maoist hotbed Palamu, railway authorities are fighting a new enemy, literally armed to the teeth – rats. Colonies of rodents which have made a home under the tracks have been cited as the reason for at least three train derailments at the Daltonganj railway station in one year.

There is an urgent need for a sustainable solution to combat these unremitting rodent attacks resulting in inconvenience to the passengers as well as causing high economic losses.

Remember Remy from Ratatouille, a rat who simply adored food and its quality. Blessed with a strong sense of smell, his knowledge of food allowed him to identify different ingredients in a dish and cook many mouth-watering dishes.

However in a real-life scenario, a rat sighted in a restaurant or bar area, or worse in a guest room, could severely damage the hotel’s reputation and result in the loss of customers. Also, severe infestations could even cause the health department to shut down the establishment temporarily or even permanently.

Hotels are vulnerable to rat infestation due to several reasons.

Hotels and restaurants prove to be the best places for rats to explore new delicacies! They find food almost everywhere, in the kitchen area, in the garbage and even on the leftover trays. This causes contamination of food items which results in the transmission of various diseases. Also, these four-legged mammals are commonly encountered near the trashcans and waste containers outside the hotels.

Rats are always in search of warmth. They are unable to regulate their body temperatures, unlike other mammals. Thus rats are very much attracted to the laundry areas in hotels. The constant heat of the dryers provides ample warmth for rats, and the linens supply numerous places for nesting.

All rats need moisture to survive. They need about 15-30 ml of free-standing water each day. Thus they find water sources around perspiring soda and ice machines, leaky pipes, and HVAC units and around water fountains in hotels, which in turn increases their infestation. In garden areas, the burrowing activities, especially of bandicoot rats, can create additional damage and cost

Power outages in hotels are the worst things to happen. And many a time’s rodents are found to be the culprits for these. Rodents are blessed with a single pair of continuously growing incisors. Apart from fulfilling their dietary requirements, these little nibblers continuously need to gnaw on something or the other, to avoid overgrowing of teeth. Electrical wirings, insulations top rodent’s snack list due to their smooth texture, bright colors and also the odor that they exude.

Rats mainly invade through windows and doors in hotels and restaurants. However, holes and cracks around doors, windows, vents and utility penetrations can also be the potential entry points for them. Their flexible body structure allows them to get access through the tiniest of openings.

Let us have a look at some cases where rodent infestation has led to restaurant closure

• Family Dollar closed due to ‘heavy rat infestation’
  By Zoe Zellers, December 30 2015, Fox 45 News, Baltimore

The public is being notified that a family Dollor store has been shut down by city officials after an inspection revealed heavy rat infestation.

Councilman Brandon Scott says that the decision to close the store “shows why it was critically important for us to pass the legislation that now allows the public to be properly notified.”

No complaints were made, but a routine inspection led officials to discover a heavy rat infestation and unsanitary conditions.

• Restaurant Inspections: 100 Rodent Droppings, Roaches, Dirty Floors
  By Sherri Lonon, January 5, 2016, Florida

The state of Florida issued several temporary shutdown orders at Tampa Bay eateries last week.

Roach activity, evidence of rodents was among the biggest reasons behind the temporary closings.

• Bullring Burger King operators fined £12,000 over mice infestation

      By Matt Cannon, January 7 2016, Birmingham Mail, Birmingham

Birmingham fast food restaurant fined after environmental officers discovered mouse droppings discovered in the food preparation and storage areas

The operators of the Burger King in the Bullring have been fined over a mice infestation at the restaurant.

Environmental officers forced the temporary closure of the establishment last year after they discovered evidence of the rodents during a routine inspection on February 2, 2015, and a follow-up visit two days later.

Birmingham City Council said its officers found mouse droppings in the food preparation and storage areas, as well as evidence of inadequate cleaning and food exposed to the risk of contamination. The restaurant was allowed to reopen after officers were satisfied sufficient pest control work had been carried out and the “imminent risk of injury to health” had been removed.

These uninvited guests are undoubtedly posing a severe threat in the hotel industry. In order to avoid this nuisance caused by rodents, there is an urgent requirement of a solution to this problem.

C Tech Corporation  can offer a solution to this problem. Our product  Rodrepel^TM is an extremely low toxicity and extremely low hazard and eco-friendly rodent aversive. This product acts through a series of highly developed intricate mechanisms ensuring that rodents are kept away from the target application.  Rodrepel^TM is available in liquid concentrate which can be diluted in paints as well as in lacquer form. These products can be directly applied in the kitchen, laundry areas etc. to avoid damages due to rodents.

Rodents are ubiquitous. They are encountered in almost every sector of life such as telecommunication, automobile, railways, aviation and so on. Likewise, rodent infestation is, unfortunately, a common problem on planes around the world. Air journeys make it easier for the rodents to travel to countries and continents where there may not have any natural predators. Also, there is a high possibility of disseminating new diseases to the various countries they travel.

Rodents tend to board an aircraft through open doors and access panels, when it is parked for a relatively long period of time either in the hangar or on the apron, especially during the night when human activity is reduced. Also, they have been observed entering the aircraft during loading of catering trolleys and cargos.

Rodents usually cause damage by gnawing on the wirings and cables of airplanes. Rodents are blessed with two pairs of continuously growing incisors. In order to keep these incisors sharp and to avoid their overgrowth, these notorious mammals continuously gnaw on something hard, like wires and cables.

For a safe flight, there are various navigation sensors and aircraft flight control systems fitted in an aircraft. The advent of “fly by wire” and electro-actuated flight surfaces (rodenther than the traditional hydraulics) has massively increased safety. To supplement air traffic control many aircraft use TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System). To help avoid collisions with terrains, the aircraft use systems like GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System) often combined with a Radar altimeter. To assist aircraft flying at night or in instrument meteorological conditions weather radars and lightning detectors are used. One can just imagine the catastrophic situation in case of loss of control due to the failure of one of these systems. Hundreds of lives are at stake. Reason? It is the gnawing of rodents on the communication, navigation cables and wires thus paralyzing the airplane.

• Let us have a look at a few recent incidences where many flights have been diverted due to rodents on board!

• Rats on flight, AI Dreamliner grounded

April 4, 2016, TOI, India

One of Air India’s Dreamliners has an unwelcome tenant. Spotted off and on, the rat has disrupted flights at least thrice this month. The aircraft (VT-ANV) took off from Melbourne as AI309 just before 6 am (India time). After flying for about six hours, the rat was sighted and the aircraft diverted to Singapore where it landed after 1 pm. The plane has been grounded there and AI was making alternate arrangements to fly the passengers to Delhi. “Rodents on board can lead to a catastrophe if they start chewing up electric wires. If that happens, pilots will have no control over any system, leading to a disaster,” a senior commander said. The aircraft, worth Rs 1,500 crore (at current prices), has been fumigated repeatedly and rodent traps have been laid but there is no shooing away the rodent.

• Rats on a plane! Packed passenger jet bound for London forced to make mid-air diversion after rodent spotted in the cabin

December 30, 2015, Mail Online

A plane carrying 240 passengers en route to London from India was forced to return to Mumbai when a rat was spotted in the cabin.

Air India flight 131 was flying over Tehran in Iran, heading to Heathrow, earlier this morning when the passengers raised the alarm. The pilot took the decision to turn the plane around to land back in Mumbai.

Rodents are also responsible for transmitting serious vector diseases to humans, either directly or indirectly via fleas.

So is there any solution for this rodent menace?? Do tedious processes like fumigation and use of rodent traps really help? The reality is that these conventional methods are proving to be ineffective in managing the rodents. So the question is what can be done to discourage these notorious rodents from causing further on-board damages.

We at C Tech Corporation have come up with a solution to this problem. Our product Rodrepel^TM  is an extremely low toxicity and extremely low hazard and eco-friendly rodent aversive. This product acts through a series of highly developed intricate mechanism ensuring that rodents are kept away from the target application. The product is compliant with RoHS, RoHS2, and REACH and is FIFRA exempted. We do not aim at disturbing the ecosystem designed by nature. Our eco-friendly products do not kill the target species but only repel them.

The products are available in the form of solid masterbatches which can be incorporated as a polymer additive in the sheathing of wires and cables used in various sensitive equipment in an airplane to make it rodent resistant. Also, the food lockers and other vulnerable areas to damage can be coated with our lacquer based solutions. Our products have a long shelf life. Thus Rodrepel^TM is definitely an effective solution for controlling and managing the problems and threat posed by rodents in airplanes.

Rodents are one of the most important vertebrate pests which directly and indirectly cause distress to the production of crops and storage of grains. Rodents cause severe damage to various crops by gnawing, spoilage, contamination and hoarding activities. The effects of rodent damage cause a huge amount of crop losses and food shortages in many parts of the world. Rodents cause millions of dollars in damages to field crops, stored grain and farm equipment each year. In addition, they are the major carrier for more than 60 diseases that are transmissible to humans, companion animals, and livestock.

In Asia alone, annual food losses due to rodents would be enough to feed 200 million people each year. Rice pre-harvest losses are estimated to be between 5-10% in most Asian countries, however, in some countries, it is expected to be significantly higher, such as Indonesia where yield loss estimates are around 19% which is the equivalent of enough grain to feed 39 million more Indonesians. However, the destruction caused by rodents on a localized level can be devastating where rodent outbreaks can wipe out entire harvests and lead to famine like conditions.

While there are different causes of rodent outbreaks, all lead to a situation whereby there are higher than normal amounts of available food which rodents has access to. Rodent outbreaks have been categorized as being cyclical or evolutional, climatic, or anthropogenic Rodent outbreaks which occur due to natural cycles include the masting or flowering of plants such as bamboo. In 2007, many poor rural communities in India, Myanmar, Bangladesh and Laos PDR were affected by such events and required food aid.

Unusual climatic events such as heavy rainfall early in the wet season or flash floods and cyclones can cause rodent outbreaks. Heavy rainfall before the beginning of the crop season, for instance, can allow the rodents’ breeding season to begin earlier due to better than usual food supply, therefore, the breeding season is extended which increases rodent numbers in the fields.

The third cause of rodent outbreaks is due to the management of cropping systems whereby there is an anthropogenic response to an extreme climatic event or market forces. The expansion of cropping areas and the intensification of cropping systems increasing the number of crop seasons per year are seen as major inducers of anthropogenic rodent outbreaks.

Let us look at some recent news articles pertaining to rodent damage in the agricultural sector.

Rodents destroy crops in district, paddy worst-hit
May 20, 2015, TOI, India

MADURAI: Rodent infestation is causing severe damage to crops across the district, specifically in paddy fields where the damage is estimated to be the highest.

Entomologists said 4.6 to 54% of paddy crops were lost due to rat infestation. The ‘bandicota bengalensis’ variety of rats is the most common troublemaker, found in crop and residential areas alike. These usually thrive in wetland areas. Another species ‘millardia meltada’ is mostly found in dry land areas.

Assistant professor of entomology at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Usha Rani said, “You know there is a rat problem when the seeds on the planting or the rice tillers, which are grain-bearing branches formed on the base of the plant, are eaten. Rice panicle, which is a kind of flower seen on the top part of the plant, will also be missing.”

“Rodents stock about 0.5kg to 4kg of grain in their burrows in special chambers,” she added.

The rodent problem has been severe in Chellampatti and surrounding areas of the district. Crops are usually damaged when it is about 45 days old. “The maximum damage is caused to rice crops. The rodents cut the seedling in patches,” said farmer from Chellapatti area D Pandiarajan.

Rodents play havoc with paddy ryots
August 4, 2016, TOI, India

Guntur: For J Venkata Rao, a paddy grower from Ponnur mandal in the district, the last couple of years had not been great in terms of returns. While he lost his investment due to lack of adequate rainfall in 2014, rodents ate away a part of his field last year.

This year too, as Kharif season began, he is anxious as he is yet to find an effective method to eradicate the rodents.

“As soon as the transplantation of the crop begins every year, I spend sleepless nights. I grow paddy on 2 acres and I lose about six bags of the crop due to rodents,” he lamented.

Let us now look at some current methods that are used to control the rodent menace in the agricultural sector, particularly in rice fields. Throughout South and Southeast Asia studies have shown that rodents are the number one pest or the pest which causes the most damage to the rice yields. The most common technique used to control the damage caused by rodents is the use of rodenticides. However, studies show that many rodenticides have adverse effects on the health of the farmers. Rodenticides and pesticides also are responsible for the environmental degradation by polluting the soil and ground water reserves. These rodenticides also kill the non-target beneficial species like bees, earthworms etc.

So the question that arises is what should we use? This question has been answered by CTech Corporation’s Rodrepel^TM . Rodrepel^TM  is an extremely low toxicity and extremely low hazard and eco-friendly product of C Tech Corporation  that helps to keep rodents at bay. Rodrepel^TM  does not kill the animal, it only repels them! In fact, it is completely safe for the target as well as non-target species. This innovative product, in masterbatch form, can be incorporated with the drip tapes, tubes, pipes, agricultural films, mulches. The product does not leach out, thus preventing soil pollution. Groundwater reserves are also not polluted. Also, the non-target beneficial species like earthworms, bees etc are not affected.

Our product in lacquer form can be coated over tree guards, fences, various PVC surfaces etc. which would ensure complete protection against these creatures. Our products provide a safe and environmentally friendly solution to avoid rodent infestation in agriculture.

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

As if wild boars and other animals were not enough, now we have to protect ourselves and our young ones from newfound threats like rats!

Rats primarily viewed as annoying little furry animals have fast turned themselves into a force to reckon with to the extent of being life-threatening.

In the recent past, there has been a slew of cases where encounters with rodents have culminated into life-threatening situations.

Below are two such incidents reported in newspapers worldwide which brought to our attention the extent of damage a measly rodent could do.

Giant rats eat two babies in South Africa townships in separate attacks

UPDATED: 10:46 GMT, 3 June 2011

• ‘I can’t forget how ugly my child looked after her eyes were ripped out’ says dead baby’s mother
• The rats can grow up to three-foot long

 

Giant rats as big as cats have killed and eaten two babies in separate attacks in South Africa’s squalid townships this week.

 Lunathi Dwadwa, three, was killed as she slept in her parent’s shack in the Khayelitsha slum outside Cape Town and another girl was killed in Soweto township near Johannesburg the same day.

 Little Lunathi was sleeping on a makeshift bed on the floor of her family’s breeze block and corrugated iron home on Sunday night when she died. Her puzzled parents didn’t even hear her scream.

 When her mother discovered her lifeless body, she saw that her daughter’s eyes had been gouged out.

Bukiswa Dwadwa, 27, said: ‘I can’t forget how ugly my child looked after her eyes were ripped out.

 ‘She was eaten from her eyebrows to her cheeks, her other eye was hanging by a piece of flesh.’

Her father Mncedisi Mokoena said police told him: ‘Nothing could have done that but rats’

 And today police revealed that a baby girl died in the Soweto township when she was attacked by rats while her teenage mother was out with friends.

 ‘We were called to the scene of the death of an infant due to a rat attack on Monday morning at around 9am,’ said police officer Bongani Mhlongo.

 ‘The mother of the child was arrested on charges of culpable homicide and negligence.’

 The deaths appear to be part of a spate of deadly rat attacks in the country.

 Last month, 77-year-old grandmother Nomathemba Joyi died after giant rats chewed off the right side of her face.

 Residents of South Africa’s impoverished townships say the giant rats grow up to three-foot long, including their tails, and have front teeth over an inch long.

 The suspects in the baby attacks are believed to be African Giant Pouched Rats, a species only distantly related to UK rats, but native to sub-Saharan Africa – and the biggest in the world.

 They are nocturnal, omnivorous and can produce up to 50 young a year. Some tribal people breed them for food.

 They thrive in the townships’ filthy conditions and feast on residents’ uncollected rubbish.

These clueless parents have lost their children to a low life like a rodent! To die in such young age and in this manner is a death that one would wish for even for an enemy.

In yet another horrifying incident a young mother recounts how her 16-month old beautiful daughter was savaged by a giant rat as the youngster slept in her cot.

 

Giant rat attack horror: Baby savaged by foot-long rodent as she slept in cot

16 Nov 2012 19:10

Her panic-stricken mum rushed into the 16-month-old’s room after hearing screams and found her covered in blood with deep bite marks

 Ordeal: Mum Lindsey found baby Lolly covered in blood and a rat scurrying around the flat

A horrified mum told today how her toddler daughter was savaged by a giant rat as the youngster slept in her cot.

Panic-stricken Lindsey Molyneux rushed into 16-month-old Lolly’s room after hearing her screams and found her covered in blood with deep bite marks to her hand.

Husband Michael later photographed the foot-long rodent scurrying around the family’s one-bedroom flat.

Mum-of-two Lindsey said the beast, which they nicknamed Ratzilla, had also gnawed through terrified Lolly’s pyjama bottoms.

The 30-year-old said she had just settled down to watch I’m a Celebrity after putting Lolly and her twin sister Lily to bed when she heard her crying on the baby monitor.

Lindsey added: “I went in because I didn’t want her to wake Lily.

“She was shaking and I thought maybe she was just having one of her nightmares.

“She threw up on my shoulder so I walked her out of the bedroom, holding her over my left shoulder, sat her down on the floor on the kitchen and as I started to strip her I saw all the blood because I hadn’t seen it in the bedroom as it was dark.

“I just started screaming, I tried not to swear but every swear word was coming out.

“I screamed, ‘She’s bleeding, she’s bleeding.’ I couldn’t see where she was bleeding from then I suddenly saw her hand, you could just see that the blood was gushing out from there.

“The only way I could describe it is we were just befuddled, we just could not figure out what had happened.

“We’ve got no pets and there’s nothing around her bed that could do that.”

After managing to stop the bleeding, Lindsey called NHS Direct to see if they had any ideas.

Just then the huge rat raced past her, giving her the shock of her life.

She said: “I was on the phone to the nurse. I saw it at the door and it was about a foot long.

 “I went around the patio door, opened up the front door and as soon as I opened it up its legged it. You could clearly see it was a rat, the size of it was massive.”

A&E doctors confirmed it was a rat bite. Lindsey said her GP did not believe her story until she showed him the footage of the rodent.

Little Lolly received treatment for the bite and is recovering well.

The couple has since disinfected and cleaned their entire house in Camden, North London.

Council pest control experts have laid traps and checked nearby sewers.

Lindsey said the front door had been left open for half an hour earlier in the night of the attack to ventilate the house while ­engineer Michael cooked dinner.

But pest controllers were still unsure how the rat got in.

Lindsey added: “It’s not even the thought that it bit her, that’s bad enough, it’s just the thought that it was crawling on her.

“It’s got in once and I’m still afraid it can get in again.”

So why do these rodents enter our homes?

Rats/rodents enter our houses basically in the search for food as well as a warm place to live in. They roam around freely in homes in search for food and something to chew on to keep their incisors trimmed. One would wonder if they are conscious of their dental hygiene!

But the truth is rats have a pair of continuously growing incisors that need to be trimmed regularly. In order to do that rats chew on anything in their vicinity including cables, wires, plastics; literally anything they can lay their filthy paws on.

Rats not only invade your home and your privacy but they can also turn out to be life-threatening. There is no place on the earth that they can’t inhabit. You can’t escape them; you have to deal with them.

The right way of doing that is not by killing them as it offers a short-term solution to the problem. The right and only effective way of combating the rat menace is to find a way to keep them out of our homes and away from our loved ones.

We at C Tech Corporation understand this and after years of research have formulated a product that can address all our rat grievances. Rodrepel^TM can best be described as a  extremely low toxicity and extremely low hazard and eco-friendly anti-rodent additive. It is available in lacquer form that can be applied on wooden articles and household furniture to keep rodents at bay. Rodrepel^TM  works on a mechanism that can effectively repel rodents and keep them out of our houses for good.

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.

Squirrels belong to a large family of small or medium-sized rodents called the Sciuridae. The family includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots(including woodchucks), flying squirrels, and prairie dogs. Squirrels are indigenous to the Americas, Eurasia, and Africa, and have been introduced to Australia. They are generally small animals, ranging in size from the African pygmy squirrel at 7–10 cm (2.8–3.9 in) in length and just 10 g (0.35 oz) in weight, to the Alpine marmot which is 53–73 cm (21–29 in) long and weighs from 5 to 8 kg (11 to 18 lb). Squirrels live in almost every habitat from tropical rainforest to semiarid desert, avoiding only the high Polar Regions and the driest of the deserts. Squirrels cannot digest cellulose and have to rely on foods containing proteins and fats. As their large eyes indicate, squirrels generally have an excellent sense of vision, which is especially important for tree-dwelling species. They also have very versatile and sturdy claws for grasping and climbing. Many also have a good sense of touch, with vibrissae on their heads and limbs. The teeth of squirrels follow the typical rodent pattern, with large gnawing incisors that grow throughout life, and grinding cheek teeth set back behind a wide gap. In one year’s time, a squirrel’s incisors can grow up to six inches. Ground-dwelling species are generally social animals, often living in well-developed colonies. The living squirrels are divided into five subfamilies, with about 58 genera and some 285 species. The Indian palm squirrel is the most common type of squirrel found in India. Squirrels are generally inquisitive and persistent animals.

As mentioned earlier they have the characteristic trait of rodents that is they have ever-growing incisors which compel them to chew on anything. Optical fibers have revolutionized modern day communication including cable T.V and internet. These optical fiber cables can be damaged seriously by gnawing rodents. In August 2011, The Atlantic reported the spokesperson of Level 3 communication, a fiber network company with 84,000 miles of cable to having incurred losses to the level of 17% due to damage done by squirrels. These rodents chew on the fiber optic cables thus damaging them. Another cable company Time Warner Cables recently reported that they suffer heavy damage to fiber optic cables owing to squirrels as they chew through the lines. When this occurs the fiber optic cable’s protection is lost and they become susceptible to rain and other natural elements.”Squirrel chews” had compelled them to replace 87 miles of the cable during 2011 incurring losses in hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Squirrel’s knack of chewing into cables extends to coaxial cables too. There have been reports of sudden long cable outages owing to chewing by squirrels. Carra Higgins of The Inter-Mountain reported that there were sudden outages in the Rich Mountain area owing to squirrel gnawing in certain portions of the cable. The cable company spokesman was quoted as saying that squirrels climbed on telephone wires to access the cable lines. These coaxial cables were typically coated with aluminum which fell prey to the squirrels. These ubiquitous, furry buzz saws are most likely damaging aerial cable plant in worldwide settings, increasing maintenance expenses and reducing the productivity of technical operations groups. Service outages caused by squirrels can also adversely affect the image of service providers, possibly reducing revenue growth.

Various methods are being traditionally used to tackle this problem. One of the methods being used is the use of barriers which partially or completely surround the outside of the cable. Barriers outside the cable are typically designed to prevent a rodent’s jaws from opening wide enough for it to chew the barrier thus effectively protecting the cable inside. These barriers can be used in aerial applications. But they have a lot of constraints. The use of physical barriers increases the material cost as well as the cost of deploying the cables. The greater the size and weight of the cable the greater is the wind and ice loading. It is thus uneconomical to use them.

Another method being used to protect cables from squirrels is the use of Rodenticides which are by all means toxins. The use of these rodenticides is strongly discouraged due to their ramifications on the environment and the food chain. These rodenticides essentially contain toxic substances which have a high vapor pressure and they, therefore, enter the environment easily. Also as these rodenticides are designed to kill the toxins enter the food chain via any animal who feeds on the dead squirrel.

Better alternatives need to be found out to protect the cables from squirrels and other rodents alike. The salient features being not to kill but to generate a repellant response in the target species. Rodrepel fits the profile perfectly as it is non-toxic, non-hazardous, environmentally friendly rodent repellant.

We, at C Tech Corporation, have come up with the right solution for this. It is known as Rodrepel^TM. Rodrepel^TM is a niche product which is a rodent aversive. The difference between this product and other rodenticides is that it is an extremely low toxicity and extremely low hazard and eco-friendly. It works on the mechanism of repellence and does not kill the target species but only repels them.

Using this eco-friendly product will definitely help reduce the rodent menace.

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

The Issue:

No rosy introductions, no sneak previews, let’s do straight talk!

Rodents adversely affect humans in three main ways:

1. They eat agricultural crops in the field;
2. They eat, spoil and contaminate stored food; and
3. They carry diseases of humans and their livestock.

In the Asia–Pacific region, rodents are one of the most peril constraints to agricultural production. This region contains two-thirds of the World’s poor—approximately­­ 800 million people in 2001 and the majority of these people live in rural areas. Management of rodent pests in agricultural regions is, therefore, a high priority for reducing poverty.

More than 90% of the world’s rice is produced and consumed in Asia, with rice producing 35–60% of the total food energy for the three billion people living in the region (Khush 1993). The pre-harvest impact of rodent pests on rice-based agricultural systems in 11 Asian countries: Bangladesh, Cambodia, People’s Republic of China, India, Indonesia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam causes chronic losses to production in the order of 5–10% per annum. Today, it is not unusual for small-holder rice farmers to report chronic yield losses of 20–30% per annum, rising to 50% or even total crop loss in certain seasons. In Asia, a loss of 5% of rice production amounts to approximately 30 million tonnes; enough rice to feed 180 million people for 12 months! Postharvest losses are probably of a similar magnitude to pre-harvest losses. (Gary Singleton)

In India, losses of grain to rodents are estimated to be 25-30% postharvest at a cost of at least US$5 billion annually in stored food and seed grain (FAO 1999). Another author claims that this could be a conservative figure, based on estimates that there are in excess of 2.5 billion rats in India and each one potentially could cause US$10–15 billion in damages each year (Hart 2001). Postharvest damage by rodents includes direct consumption of stored grain and contamination by rodent excrements, parasites, and corpses and damage to containers (e.g., jute bags in India particularly). Also, in Indonesia, Suharno (1987) reported that rodent gnawing was the cause of treatment failures for insect pests, and increased treatment costs in bag stacks sealed under plastic enclosures after disinfestations with carbon dioxide.

There are 60+ rodent-borne diseases reported to affect humans (Gratz 1996). The foremost diseases for concern within the rice-growing agricultural zones

• Leptospirosis (6,000 cases in Thailand in the year 2000 with 320 deaths; A. Payakaphanta, pers. commun.);
• The arena- and hantaviruses that cause hemorrhagic diseases (Mills 1999);
• The plague (Yersinia pestis); rat typhus (Rickettsia ); and
• Neuro-angiostrongyliasis (Prociv et al 2000).

The proposed solution:

The bad

Human ingenuity has come up with different ways of catching rodents. Many groups of people have developed specific traps and snares that either kill or capture any rodent that ventures too close. Four main kinds of traps are single-capture live-traps, single-capture kill-traps, and snares, multiple-capture live-traps & pitfall traps. With rodent population being as high as 10 per sqm. in some areas, this does not seem to be a feasible option. Additionally, the disposal of a trapped rat in a timely manner would be a humongous task.

The ugly

Poisoned baits and spray pesticides are used extensively in many parts of the world. It has been estimated that approximately 95% of all rodenticides used are anticoagulant baits. Not only are these baits easy to use and readily accessible over the counter, but they are also extremely effective in killing rodents and other pests. However, they also are lethal to non-target species, including human besides domestic dogs and cats of course! These are mainly based on inorganic compounds which are not metabolized but are directly absorbed, distributed and excreted. Most of them have adverse effects on mutagenicity, teratogenicity, and reproduction of humans. The table following this article, compiled by Dr. Gary Singleton based on personal visits to rice fields will demonstrate the gravity of the situation in various Asian countries. Currently, only toxic rodenticides are used which should be curbed as early as possible.

Conclusion:
Rodents cause tremendous economic hardship to Asian smallholder farmers, yet solutions for management can be simple and effective. Innovative non- toxic and eco- friendly options need to be encouraged to enter the fascinating secret world of rats and work closely with farmers to assist them in their struggle against the hardships caused by rodents.

Forty percent of mammalian species are rodents. There are about 2,277 species of rodents. They are one of the most abundant creatures on this planet. Rodents are found in vast numbers on all continents except Antarctica, mhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specieost islands, and in all habitats except oceans.  Nearly all rodents share the characteristic of dentition highly specialized for gnawing. This specialization gives rodents their name from the Latin, rodere, to gnaw. During gnawing, the incisors grind against each other, wearing away the softer dentine, leaving the enamel edge as the blade of a chisel. This ‘self-sharpening’ system is very effective and is one of the keys to the enormous success of rodents. They can survive in the worst possible conditions too. Their success is probably due to their small size, short breeding cycle, and ability to gnaw and eat a wide variety of foods. Rodents are important in many ecosystems because they reproduce rapidly, and can function as food sources for predators, mechanisms for seed dispersal, and disease vectors. Humans use rodents as a source of fur, as pets, as model organisms in animal testing, for food, and even for detecting land mines as they have an acute sense of smell. Also, their success rates in such operations are nearly 100%. Due to the wide diversity of their characteristics, some of which are considered uncommon or unique amongst mammals, rodents are used widely in research.

But these creatures spread havoc in all areas of life owing to their continuous gnawing. Recently the damage incurred due to this has increased manifold. The most horrifying incident that has come to light recently is that of a little girl attacked by rats in her very home the place where children think they are the safest. Becky Evans of Daily News U.K reported on 7^th March 2013 the hair rising tale of seven-year-old Francesca Williams who was bitten by a foot long rat while in her merry sleep. The rat bit the girl on her face and arms before she could even realize what had happened. The unprecedented incident left the girl traumatized to the point where she couldn’t sleep in her own bed for almost a week.

These rodents know no discrimination while selecting their targets. They can attack the common man as well as highly placed Govt. officials and politicians as was aptly proved in a recent attack. On 22^nd April, 2013 a news channel Soweton Live reported that at 100 Plein Street, one of the buildings in the parliamentary precinct, rats wreaked havoc as they chewed telephone wires and left even left droppings on an official’s desk. Neglecting up gradation of the building was believed to be the cause of the infection. Poison traps were promptly set up to counter the infestation. But the damage was already done.

Having said that rats are not the only rodents which are capable of causing damage. David Maccar on 12^th April, 2013   reported that an angler was killed by a Beaver a kind of rodent while on a fishing trip to Belarus. Beavers are the 2^nd largest rodents in the world. Beaver is basically a nocturnal semi-aquatic rodent having very powerful front teeth. Beavers have two distinct species the North American beaver (Castor Canadensis) (native to North America) and Eurasian beaver. The victim was bitten by the rodent while trying to click its picture. The rodent bit him on the thigh severing an artery in the process which led to heavy blood loss and consequent death.

A new problem is emerging which needs our immediate attention. It is that of mutant rats. This has come to light as we see Iran struggling to treat its rat problem. The problem has reached epic proportions owing to mutant rats to the levels that snipers are being deployed at night to kill the rats. Giant rats that have been flushed out of their nests by melting snow are the focus of a renewed extermination effort in the Iranian capital, according to several reports. Some of the rodents reportedly weigh as much as 11 pounds. The Iranian scientists postulate that a genetic mutation seems to have occurred in the rats owing to the chemicals and radiation that they have been exposed to earlier. Attempts to kill the earlier generations of these rats with toxic chemicals is believed to have triggered this mutation which would have normally taken millions of years to evolve and develop. The result has been catastrophic as these rats now weigh 5-6 kilos instead of the earlier 60gm thus making it more difficult to capture them by the conventional means. Although some scientists express disbelief regarding the existence of these mutated rats they all seem to agree on the fact that some rats species have become resistant to traditional poisons. In 2012, a researcher in Britain published findings that estimated 75 percent of rats in West England was resistant to rodenticide.

Thus we have seen those rodents true to the title are perpetrators of misery and suffering worldwide. Also increasing number of species are becoming resistant to the traditional poisons. Thus the time has come to develop an out of the box approach and find new innovative ways of handling the rodent menace.

To eradicate this problem we at C Tech Corporation have come up with a viable solution. We have come up with a product named Rodrepel®™.

Rodrepel®™ is an extremely low toxicity and extremely low hazard, and environmentally safe anti-rodent additive for masterbatches specially developed for a range of polymeric and coating applications including films, wires, and cables.
