Rodent Can Chew Through Many Items!

06/10/2026 By Ed DeMask

Rats and mice are known for infesting homes and businesses, spreading diseases, and generally being dirty nasty visitors, you never want to show up!

 

 

But their ability to chew through various products makes them the ones who are able to enter many structures without proper protection.

For example, they can chew through drywall, particle board, aluminum, softly cured concrete, PVC pipes, car wires, and even soft metals like copper and lead.

 

They are NOT able to chew through hardened concrete and steel, which means that protection protects that are used to try to prevent them from entering a structure need to be this strong.

 

Made with steel, Burrtec’s Ratshut provides tremendous protection that rodents cannot chew through.

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.

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.
