Rodent Hantavirus Outbreaks Detected in Several Locations through the United States & Globally

06/03/2026 By Ed DeMask

While the need for better protection from all insects kicks into high gear as the summer months approach, rodents are spreading disease and filth creating a need for increased prevention.

 

The University of Nebraska reported that models detect that virus-carrying rodents can spread with the change of weather patterns in some countries. The report stated that this could expose populations to diseases not previously encountered.

 

In Vermont, where there is a discussion of curbing the use of rodenticides, according to WCAX-TV, a recent Hantavirus outbreak has residents worried about infestation possibilities.

 

North of San Diego, Hantavirus was discovered near the Orange County line near Mission Viejo, the first rodent to be tested positive for the virus this year in California.

 

Prevention is the best way to stop Hantavirus from spreading by rodents, and Burrtec’s Ratshut is the industry’s toughest product against rats and mice.

 

Ratshut is a stainless-steel spine-backed product and an essential tool for maintenance and facility managers, pest control professionals, and garage door installers. This product protects both of the sides, top and bottom of garage doors, and also comes in a version for residential and commercial doors.

 

All of Burrtec’s door sweeps including Ratshut can protect from rodent infestations, as well as stop dust, dirt, and pollen.

 

These products are available for consumers for residential use, as well. As the leading manufacturer of door sweep solutions, Burrtec is providing quality exclusion products to PMPs and building material suppliers. It is the North American division of Burrtec Co., Ltd., one of Japan’s largest pest control producers.

What Can and Can’t Rodents Chew Through?

05/26/2026 By Ed DeMask

Most of the common products that homes and businesses are made of can be chewed through by a common rodent.

 

Their incisors grow consistently and that’s why even when they chip, they are replaced naturally but they are forced to gnaw on items to keep them from growing too large.

 

Their teeth, very strong, can chew through wood, aluminum, copper, and even poorly cured concrete. This means chewing through the bottom of an unprotected door is simple stuff to a rat or mouse.

 

Stainless steel is the one thing that rats cannot chew through, and it’s the core spine inside Burrtec’s top product, 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.

Check for Signs that Rodents are Entering Under Doorways and Garage Doors

05/19/2026 By Ed DeMask

To know if you have any mice or rat problems, you need to notice the signs of one of the rodents entering your home or business.

 

 

The top destination for rodents to enter a home is under a door or through the garage by entering the side or bottom of a garage door. This is where you seek out signs of entry.

 

Looks for gaps in the weather stripping or bite marks – gnawing – on the door itself to see if there are rodent issues. Rodents also leave behind piles of their droppings, another sign to spot when checking for rats or mice.

 

To prevent them from entering, Burrtec’s Ratshut product can stop them from entering in the first place.

 

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

Burrtec’s Door Sweeps Working for Georgia PMP

04/29/2026 By Ed DeMask

In the warmer weather areas of the South, rodent activity can be steady 12 months a year so prevention and control are tremendously important.

 

Atlanta’s Enviroguard Pest Solutions uses Burrtec products to stop rats and mice from entering under doorways. 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.”

 

Burrtec’s newest and best-selling product is Ratshut. It’s a stainless-steel spine-backed product and an essential tool for maintenance and facility managers, pest control professionals, and garage door installers.

 

All of Burrtec’s door sweeps including Ratshut can protect from rodent infestations, as well as stop dust, dirt, and pollen.
