With the expansion of the use of wiring that is attractive as a food source to mice and rats – both in cars and homes – the possibility for damage has grown over the years.

 

But the damage is more than likely not covered by a homeowners insurance policy. This means without proper protection from mice, rats and other rodents, any infestation damage can be expensive and out of pocket!

 

This is why so many pest management professionals work to push customers to embrace proactive protection – vs waiting to contact for help after damage is done. Garage professionals are doing the same proactive type of thing with their clients.

 

Last Fall Burrtec introduced the new Ratshut, a stainless-steel spine and is an essential tool for maintenance and facility managers, pest control professionals, and garage door installers, was heavily discussed. The product comes in a version for garages and another for standard doors.

 

Burrtec has also been making one of the most popular door sweeps for years. The Burrat Samurai Armor door sweep prevents rodents and bugs from entering a home or building under the doorway. It has a stainless-steel plate in the frame preventing rodents from chewing through it.

 

All of the company’s door sweeps are made for safety, and can protect from rodent infestations, as well as stop dust, dirt, and pollen.

While rats and mice are seeking shelter in the winter months, the summer months are by far the most active period of the year.

 

One of the reasons that pest control technicians are so busy in the summer fielding calls about rats and mice is because trash cans are full, many times they are not properly closed, and thus food sources are available to rodents.

 

In addition, problems with plumbing usually occur during summer months meaning water sources are available. Also, food is plentiful during summer when many people eat in several places like the patio or deck vs just the kitchen table during winter.

Chicago is already known as one of the top cities when it comes to rat problems, but now these rodents are spreading their damage to more than humans and food sources.

 

Cars throughout the Chicagoland area are being damaged by rats attracted to the wires, especially those with soy wiring!

 

According to WLS-TV ABC Chicago, mechanics say that rats eat the wiring as a food source and then remain under the hood using it as a shelter because of the warmth.

 

One of the main reasons this happens is that many vehicles are parked outside or in garage facilities that do not stop rats, mice and other types of intruders from coming in.

 

Those with garages are able to prevent rat damage with Ratshut, a stainless-steel spine and is an essential tool for maintenance and facility managers, pest control professionals, and garage door installers, was heavily discussed.

Every day in San Francisco there are 2,800 public trash cans throughout the city. The trash cans have been designed and voted down to three designs, with the final to come soon.

 

Recently the public works department upgraded its trash cans to Soft Square, which is made of four curved panels with a stainless-steel design. The steel design allows for both trash and recycling and is a great benefit in other ways.

 

 

Rats and mice, both of whom have incredibly strong incisors, can chew through wood, aluminum, and even poorly cured concrete. But not stainless steel – so the best rodent-prevention products are made of it.

 

Burrtec USA recently has been in the news for its new Ratshut weatherstrip that prevents mice and rats – as well as dust and dirt – from entering into a garage. The company also has a product for typical residential and commercial doors.

While Burrtec USA is already a mainstream part of the pest control industry through its manufacturing of pest control products, the company’s most recent product development has opened new doors – pun intended – into the garage industry.

 

The creation of Burrtec’s Ratshut Weatherstrip has been a boom into the garage door industry with installers, distributors, and even spring manufacturers jumping on board to bring Ratshut on as a product offering.

 

Burrtec recently attended the International Door Association’s (IDA) Spring EduCon and Tradeshow in Atlanta in April. The show is the premiere exhibition for the garage door industry and is held twice a year, with a fall version to come this September in Phoenix.

 

Networking sessions were remarkably positive and Burrtec was able to create instant door installer business at the show itself – launching Ratshut in a bold, effective way!

 

Ratshut rodent-proof weather strip is designed to prevent rodents from entering through openings at the top and sides of garage doors. It was originally launched to the pest control industry at its annual show in Denver in October 2024, to rave reviews there.

 

Ratshut comes with a slick white design with a stainless-steel plate inside the plastic exterior. It is durable yet flexible plastic and installs quickly.

The company has become popular in pest control for its other products – door sweeps. These solutions stop rodents and dust, dirt, and pollen from entering underneath common doorways!
