Rodent-Spread Disease Can Be Fatal

07/23/2025 By Ed DeMask

Disease is spread regularly by rodents, both rats and mice, through urine, saliva, and feces.

 

 

 

The Hantavirus is a deadly disease that can affect the kidneys as well as can be fatal. Rodents were discovered on the property of late actor Gene Hackman and his wife, who died of Hantavirus.

 

To protect from rodents – and from the diseases they spread – proactive control methods need to be followed.

 

Just like the inspections that technicians make on the exterior of a home in an effort to prevent ants, spiders and other bugs from entering a home, a preventative approach will help stop mice and rats.

 

Door sweeps are the top way to stop them from entering a home or business and Burrtec is the manufacturer of the industry’s top tool – Ratshut. It is 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.

 

The company has also manufactured strong door sweeps prior to the launch of Ratshut, specifically the Burrat Samurai Armor door sweep with a replaceable stainless-steel frame.

 

These products not only are preventing rodent infestations, but also dust, dirt, and pollen.

 

Burrtec USA is a leading manufacturer of door sweep solutions, 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. To learn more about Burrtec, visit our U.S. website.

Rat Damage to Garages Rarely Covered by Homeowners Insurance

07/16/2025 By Ed DeMask

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.

Mice and Rodents are Most Active During Summer

07/09/2025 By Ed DeMask

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.

 

Burrtec is known for being a manufacturer of the top door sweep products in the country. 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.

 

Burrtec’s strongest product is its 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.

Chicago’s Growing Rat Infestation is Causing Damage to Area Vehicles

07/02/2025 By Ed DeMask

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.

 

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.

San Francisco Upgrades Trash Cans to Stainless Steel to Prevent Rodents

06/25/2025 By Ed DeMask

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.
