As the northern states experience the coldest temperatures of the new year, it’s business as usual in the South.

 

 

All year long, rodents continue to be active in Georgia and Florida, where temperatures dip occasionally but nothing like the snowstorms and icy temps up north.

 

Each year various groups including the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) predict bigger numbers of rodents in the southeast as they move indoors even if the temps are below freezing.

 

The biggest entry for rodents is sneaking under doorways. Doorway openings can be permanently protected with the use of Burrtec’s Ratshut.

Exclusion is a simple tactic that when done correctly, can actually prevent rodent infestations before they start. That’s why Lee Tubbs of Enviroguard Pest Solutions relies heavily on Burrtec USA’s line of door sweeps to prevent mice and rats from entering under doorways.

 

 

But while reacting to mice and rat problems is part of the job, preventing them is the other part. Lee Tubbs uses Burrtec USA’s door sweep products for one reason – they work.

 

“Finding a proper solution for exclusion needs is important to every pest control professional,” said Tubbs. “What’s important is being able to install a door sweep easily, know that the product is dependable and strong, and have peace of mind that it will provide premium performance against rodents trying to eat through it.”

 

Because Burrtec’s door sweep products are made with stainless steel – not plastic or aluminum like other manufacturers – it can prevent rodents from biting through it to enter a home or business. That’s why PMPs around the country use it as a daily exclusion tool.

 

“It’s really important to use the right products so our customers can know that we’re doing everything in our power to protect them from pest control issues – especially when we’re trying to prevent them from happening in the first place,” said Tubbs. “That’s why I can feel good about using Burrtec door sweeps whenever I’m in the need of an exclusion solution.”

Health inspections are a bad time for rodents or insects to come out from their hiding places, but in South Florida that’s what has happened lately. Several restaurants were hit with fines and shutdown notices after such issues.

 

Without naming the restaurants, one was in trouble for having a dead cockroach in plain sight. Then when the manager went to pick it up and walk outside, a few lives ones were spotted moving around.

 

A few pizza places used dough to make orders, and they had rodent bites in them. There were other locations that had rodent droppings mixed up in the dough.

 

For most commercial locations, rodents enter through openings under doorways. And since they can enter through the size of a quarter, having protection is more important than anything.

 

Rodents can eat through wood, plastic and even poorly cured concrete. To prevent them, using Ratshut is essential. Ratshut is a stainless-steel spine-backed product and an essential tool for maintenance and facility managers, pest control professionals, and garage door installers.

The top reason many people want to stay away from rodents is the “ewww” factor. Rats are creepy rodents with big teeth that look scary to most people. Mice can elicit a similar feeling.

 

But the biggest motivation for keeping them from entering a home or structure is for health purposes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), rodents can spread a number of diseases including Hantavirus and Rat-Bite Fever through touch bites or scratches, among other ways.

 

The ways to prevent these diseases is to avoid exposure by not disturbing rodents in their habitats, through safe cleanup, and not eating or drinking anything that rodents may have contaminated.

 

Burrtec USA has developed a product that prevents mice and rats from entering both homes, structures and garages. It is called Ratshut.

 

Ratshut is a stainless-steel spine-backed product and an essential tool for maintenance and facility managers, pest control professionals, and garage door installers.

While rats and mice will not hibernate for the winter, they will seek shelter food sources and water.

 

One of the biggest issues with rodents especially in the cold weather temperatures of January is that they will find a commercial structure or residence to settle in for the winter. Once inside they can do a lot of damage if they are able to expand to a full infestation.

 

Unfortunately for homeowners there are a number of ways that rats and mice can enter a home. Through openings in the roof, squeezing in holes along plumbing and utility penetrations, and under doorways.

 

Doorway openings can be permanently protected with the use of Burrtec’s Ratshut.
