Rats Devouring Supermarkets!

Local foods, high-quality meat, preserved items; elegant flowers, fizzy beverages, and tempting gourmets in your store can both draw consumers and rats!

With plenty of goods and moisture, and perhaps many people that come and depart each day, it can be difficult to ensure that only customers are surging up and down your shops.

But how are they supposed to get into this place?

Well, inadequate construction and maintenance can increase many potential ports of access to a business, especially a supermarket, such as gaps around doors and windows or in walls, vents, pipes, cabling, drains, doorways, windows, and panels. Rats can squeeze through even the tiniest gaps and can nibble away at the edges to expand them. Food in storage and on display, as well as food spills and waste left or kept inappropriately, will attract rats if they can gain entry to a property.

Rodents have 2 pairs of razor-sharp incisors that grow continuously thus, to keep them in check they chew on anything which comes in their way. They not only gnaw on the packaging and eat food, but they also leave a path of contaminated surfaces in their trail, including urine, feces, sticky smear marks from their fur, and dirt from their feet. Accessible food and water attract rats and mice, who will then seek shelter nearby because they do not like to move far in their daily searching for nourishment.

Loading bays and garbage storage facilities, where food may be temporarily stored or spilled, might attract rodents and give access points inside a structure.

These are some recent incidents where rats were found in supermarkets!

A large rat tucking into the deli counter at a supermarket

A large rat that crept into a Rome supermarket and helped itself at the deli counter in front of shocked customers has become a national sensation and the subject of an alleged blackmail plot.

An Instagram video posted by an activist that shows the rat tucking into a plate of fish behind the counter’s glass cover has been watched half a million times and the story has made headlines across the Italian media.

Calgary supermarket shuttered after mouse droppings found in the dairy case, bite marks in chip bags

A supermarket store in southeast Calgary confirms that it is still closed to the public due to a mice infestation. Following a health inspection that revealed “an abundance of mouse droppings and urine,” the Forest Lawn Lucky Supermarket in the 4500 blocks of Eighth Avenue S.E. was ordered to close.

Products that had been contaminated by mice were located on shelves including several bags of chips with chew holes in the packaging.

When it comes to their fundamental needs, rats are similar to humans in that they desire a cozy place to live, food to eat, and water to drink. Rodents are clever. They take advantage of structural flaws, openings, and quick access to acquire what they seek.

A rat infestation at your store, if left untreated, can cause serious consequences. Rodents can carry and spread viruses that are hazardous to humans, providing a threat to human health and food safety in regions where they or their droppings or urine come into contact. They can be very devastating, causing damage to the equipment and assets, which can hurt your profit margins.

Many enterprises that do not offer foods and groceries may believe they are resistant to rat infestations, but that’s not the case. A rat infestation can affect almost every business!

Keep An Eye Out For The Unwanted Passengers!

In horror films, rats are portrayed as illness, decay, and death however rats are prolific, highly social, and remarkably intelligent rodents. People are likely to welcome guests in their cars in the same way they do in their homes. However, not everyone is welcomed in the car. The real nightmare begins when rats find a cozy place to wine and dine under your vehicle’s hood!

Rats have been known to climb up car wheels and crawl into the brakes, and engines of cars. They can make nests, store food, and even have pups in the structures underneath the hood

These creatures can seek shelter under the hood of your car, mainly on chilly winter days. Car engines are generally warm, dry, and undisturbed, making them a perfect place for rodents to eat, rest, or breed. Because of the abundance of polymeric materials, they are attracted to your cars and trucks which were proven to be a delicious feast for them and once inside, the rodents will cause serious damage to the vehicle, damage that may end up costing you a lot of money. So you don’t want these obnoxious creatures in the driver’s seat.

These are some recent shreds of evidence where rats invaded the cars!

A family of rats sets a man’s car on fire by chewing through its wires

The Moss Vale fire station posted photos of the wreckage on Facebook. ‘During the colder months, rodents seek shelter, store food and quite often take up residence under the bonnets of cars, the post read. Unfortunately, rats also find the wiring systems in cars and other vehicles perfect for nibbling and chewing on in to keep their teeth sharp.’ A spokesperson from NSW Fire and Rescue told Daily Mail Australia the Captain of the crew could not be 100 percent sure if it was a rat or mouse nest. They confirmed that no animal remains had been found in the engine, and said the car had been garaged for over six weeks and had not been driven in that time.

The spokesperson said that while the car fire wasn’t directly linked to the mouse plague, checking vehicles for traces of rodents or their nests should be a safety consideration every winter.

Hungry rats costing Brisbane car owners thousands in repairs

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

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

“All the coating of the wiring had been gnawed off a couple of thousand dollars worth of damage,” Ms. Wright told ABC Radio Brisbane.

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

Rodents have fond of gnawing on engine wires. They have two pairs of razor-sharp incisors that grow continuously throughout their life and to keep them in check they chew on things.

Wires and cables, gasoline tanks, ducts, cable carriers, chairs, and other car components are chewed by the rats thus, creating a nuisance. Short circuits can occur if rodents chew away at the insulation covering the wires. The cost of replacing these critical parts in cars is substantial and the insulation on your new wires can simply be chewed away when you fix the wires!

Because of the harm that rats, mice, and other rodents can do, no one wants them in their car and if things get worse, it might be risky. If you’re bothered by unwelcome visitors like rats, mice, and other rodents, then don’t worry!

We have come up with a unique solution!

C Tech Corporation can offer a viable solution that is extremely low toxic, low hazard, safe, and eco-friendly.

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

The masterbatch can be incorporated with the polymer to manufacture cable sheathing, door cladding, carpet, plastic accessories, seat cushions, car covers, polymeric switch panels, components of ignition box, fuel tanks, fuel hoses, foam seats, etc.

The liquid concentrate can be mixed with paints and used to coat cars. The lacquer can be used as a topical application for existing wires, radiator hoses, and inside of the car.

The ready-to-use Rodrepel™ spray is easy to use and protects cars from rodent damage. It can be easily sprayed on any car parts after cleaning the dust on it to keep rodents at bay.

Rodenticide Poisoning

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

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

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

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

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

Understanding the Risks of Rodent Poisons to Birds of Prey

16 September, 2020

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

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

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

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

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

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

14 October, 2020

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1 October, 2020

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Toxic Tradeoff – Nasty Rodenticides Threatens Raptors!

Raptors are utterly incredible birds!

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

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

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

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

These are recent shreds of evidence!

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

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

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

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

“Remains of Captiva eaglet contained traces of rat poison”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The 2021 Australian Mice Plague

Mice plagues have occurred in Australia many times in the past ever since mice were first introduced in the continent by European merchants and travellers.

The ample amount of farms and farmlands there make it very attractive for the mice to find food and shelter there. The recent rains and a bumper harvest have led to a full-blown plague in the rural parts of New South Wales and Queensland which is making daily life miserable for the citizens. Many reports have quoted this to be the worst mice infestation in decades in Australia.

These mice live in the farms during the day and come out at night in thousands to completely lay the lands to waste. They eat everything that is available and many farmers have reported the loss of their harvest because of these mice.

Grocery store owners, farmers, hotel managers and members of the community are facing the adversity of this plague that has gotten way out of hand. The rural parts of northern, western and southern Australia are being completely ravished by these mice that come in great numbers.

Supermarkets and restaurants that have food stocked are experiencing a hard time as well. Pesky little mice have managed to get into every cupboard and larder. Grains, fruits and even the containers that food comes packaged in are all destroyed by the mice. Cars and other vehicles are at the mercy of these rodents too. They cling inside through the bonnets and chew on all the wirings and other parts made up of polymeric materials.

Homes and barns, hospitals and other public places are also facing adverse situations dealing with these mice. The mice reproduce way too fast and any method to curb them has proven to be unsuccessful so far. All the baits and traps have been rendered useless because of the rapid rise in their numbers.

The exponential rise in mice numbers has led to many mouse-related diseases occurring. They carry many germs with them that they spread everywhere they visit and cause diseases. Mice urine and droppings contain bacteria and other pathogens that can cause various ailments in us humans.

Many accounts of the ongoing plague has been reported and written. Some of them are given below:

“An ‘absolute plague’ of mice is ravaging eastern Australia”

“Mice in the cabinets. Mice in the streets. Thousands upon thousands of mice in the barn, pooing so much it takes six hours to clean up their waste.

These are scenes from Queensland and New South Wales, Australia, where an out-of-control mouse infestation is making life miserable for farmers, grocers and other citizens of the eastern Australian states.

Some farmers have already lost entire grain harvests to the rampaging mice, according to local media reports, while hotels have had to close because they can’t keep the critters out of the rooms. Staff at a grocery store in a small town northwest of Sydney reported catching as many as 600 mice a night. So far, at least three people have visited the hospital with rodent bites, The Guardian reported.

Steve Henry, a researcher at CSIRO (Australia’s national science agency) told The Guardian that the infestation is likely the result of an unusually large grain harvest, which drew more hungry mice to the area’s farms earlier in the season than usual.

“They start breeding earlier and because there’s lots of food and shelter in the system, they continue to breed from early spring right through into the autumn,” Henry said.

Despite these efforts, Alan Brown, a farmer from the New South Wales city of Wagga Wagga, said that the plague was likely just beginning, considering the rapid pace of breeding in mice; a single breeding pair can produce a new litter every 20 days or so, birthing more than 500 offspring in a season, according to Reuters.

“A mature female can breed every three weeks, they can pump them out,” Brown said. “And that’s what is going on … it is building up to a massive plague.”

In addition to being a nuisance and business threat, mouse plagues can also be vectors of disease, according to the Queensland Government’s 1998 report on mice in Queensland.”

“Australian Town Hit By Worst Mice Plague ‘in Decades’; Rodents Bite People, Invade Homes”

“Rodents ran haywire in farms in Gilgandra, northwest of Sydney, Australia, destroying harvest, entering hospitals biting patients and electrical wires.

In a statement to Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC), a farmer by the name of Ron Mckay said that at night thousands and thousands of mice covered the floor, moving around rapidly. Local reports cited at least 3 mice-related injuries among the patients at healthcare centers in Tottenham, Walgett and Gulargambone. Mice were found sailing inside water tanks, trapped in sealed food containers, pantries and wardrobes of homes, fouling the previously clean spaces with faeces and stinky smells as the mice plague, worst in decades, spread in NSW.

A farmer in Wagga Wagga and a member of the NSW Farmers Association told The Guardian that mice infestation has incurred him $300,000 (£168,000) loss as the rodents destroyed crops. The only way out is hoping that heavy downpours drown the rodents in their bills, locals told reporters. The mice swarm destroyed acres of hay bales, and not sparing the grocer’s communities, the rodents invaded shops in Coonamble, north-west of Sydney.

A local grocer in Gulargambone told Sky News that the staff was catching nearly 500 mice or sometimes 600 at night. “It’s pretty gross,” he said. He added that the shops stink and many mice die inside the supermarkets the locals relied on for foodstuff. People are “freaked out” and are going elsewhere for groceries, he said. The NSW government’s Department of Primary Industries found that the on-farm rodent control programs that rely on rodenticides alone to control and manage rodent problems aren’t effective or sustainable.”

C Tech Corporation’s 100% eco-friendly product Rodrepel™ can prove to be a real game-changer in the situation. It works on the principle of repellence and does not kill the rodent.

Rodrepel™ triggers a fear response in rodents. 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 the pest tries to gnaw away at the application. After encountering the above-mentioned emotions, the animal instinctively perceives it as 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.

It will cause the rats to develop an aversion to all applications treated with the product. This will lead to the rodents naturally staying away from it. And because of conditioning and association, the progeny will also stay from them, thus giving a long term solution to the problem at hand. If the proper application is carried out, the rodents will find themselves with no readily available food. If this continues for a considerable time, the rats will start to move in search of food, thus vacating the area.

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

The masterbatch can be incorporated into a range of polymeric and coating applications including films, wires and cables, pipes, etc. thereby making the end application rodent resistant. If silage films that are used for wrapping bales, hay and other farm harvest is incorporated with the masterbatch, then all these applications and other farm produce can be protected from rat attacks.

The liquid concentrate can be diluted with paints and other organic solvents and can be applied on walls of the infested area, like the interior and exterior of the houses, barns, grocery store buildings, hospitals, offices, etc. The liquid concentrate can also be diluted with water and used as a spray to spray around the infested area.

The wood polish additive can be blended with wood polish and applied on the wooden articles and furniture used in hospitals and around houses. The fences around farms and farmlands can also be coated with wood polish mixed with the anti-rodent additive, making them more effective barriers and helping to stop the influx of more rats into the farms.

Our newly developed product is in the form of a spray and is an easy-to-use product. It can be sprayed around the pest entry point areas to repel the rodents and prevent them from entering the premises.

Rodrepel™ is cost-effective, eco-friendly and safe for everybody including us humans and the environment as a whole. It is RoHS, RoHS2, RoHS3, REACH, NEA, EU BPR, APVMA compliant and FIFRA exempted.
