QA Mag Survey: 67% saw Rodents in Their Facilities

06/10/2024 By Ed DeMask

Quality Assurance Magazine, the trade publication dedicated to quality assurance and food safety, in its annual State of the Rodent Control Market found that 67 percent of QA professionals saw rodents in their facilities over the last year.

The issue of rodents is difficult enough for homeowners but for food-related facilities, rodents can lead to dirt and disease being spread internally throughout a production plant – and eventually perhaps even cause audits to fail when reviewed by state and local administrators.

Three specific reasons were cited for the continued rise in rodents … food, safe indoor spaces, and moisture, according to the magazine’s annual report.

Without proper prevention protocols in place, food facilities can also have machinery affected by rodents. House mice and Norway rats are known to chew on wiring, typically behind walls undetected until the damage is done.

The rodents can chew through almost anything – including plastic and lead pipes – to get to a water source.

Prevention is the top way to protect against rodents and their damage. Burrtec manufactures door sweeps that can prevent mice and rats from entering a home, office, or warehouse facility.

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.

Prevent Rodents with Better Garage Door Maintenance

06/05/2024 By Ed DeMask

One of the more typical places that rodents enter a home or facility is through openings under doors. These small openings can eventually lead from one rat or mouse to full infestations.

But they can also enter buildings through garage doors! Without proper maintenance, garage doors can have several spaces along the side or bottom that allows for rodents to enter and seek shelter, food, and water.

Rodents like to chew through the standard rubber cushion that comes attached to a door – it is designed to give the door a soft bottom when it touches the ground and seal any openings. These do not stop rodents as rubber is easy for rats and mice to chew through.

This is why Burrtec USA has developed a great new product specifically made for garage doors, and since it cannot be destroyed by a rat or mouse trying to eat through it – it offers long-lasting protection!

Typically rodents can squeeze under door and enter a restaurant through the size of a quarter – and immediately it has access to the three things it needs to survive: food, water, and shelter.

Prevention is the best form of pest control. Burrtec manufactures door sweeps that can prevent mice and rats from entering a home, office, or warehouse facility.

Three Florida Restaurants Closed for Rodent Issues

05/20/2024 By Ed DeMask

While temperatures warm up around the country, Florida has had its typical summer-like weather for quite a while and rodents have been out and about regularly. Recently three South Florida restaurants were closed temporarily due to rodent infestations.

The closures, ordered by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, were ordered in order to allow owners to clean up and then be re-inspected. Some of the issues that were cited include the following:

  • Fifteen rodent droppings in a metal tray on a dry storage rack.
  • Four rodent droppings in a kitchen.
  • Rodent activity found several rodent issues throughout the one restaurant alone.

In addition to the rodent problems, the restaurants had standing water issues and several roach problems, from live roaches on the premises to droppings found around food storage containers that had no lids or protection.

Allowing a rodent – mouse or rat – to gain access to a restaurant is not simply a nuisance but it becomes a costly problem to the establishment. Rodents can gain access through openings in the siding but more typically, they get through the small openings under doorways as metal doors often get propped open against sidewalks or with concrete doorstops that end up damaging the door.

A mouse or rat can squeeze under door and enter a restaurant through the size of a quarter – and immediately it has access to the three things it needs to survive: food, water, and shelter.

Warm Weather Brings Surge of Rodent Infestations!

05/10/2024 By Ed DeMask

The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) announced that it expects a surge in rodent infestations – as well as mosquito and tick activity – due to the warm weather being here to stay throughout the country.

Florida specifically was singled out for being a target for these problematic pest issues. In addition, NPMA issued a list of the top cities at risk for vector-borne diseases in spring and summer.

Chicago topped the list, followed by Cleveland, Dallas, the state of Florida, and Grand Rapids, Michigan. Much of the cities or Florida were focused on a less than colder winter warming sooner and thus creating more rodent growth opportunities.

The biggest issue facing rodent infestations is the lack of prevention. While most customers are contacting PMPs at the time of a pest sighting, at that point there are active issues that are being handled versus preventative.

Rodent Control Segment to Hit $8.6 Billion by 2031

05/10/2024 By Ed DeMask

A new report shows just how intense the rodent infestation problem is globally, as the market is expected to grow more than five percent through the next six years – tremendous growth for one segment of the pest control market.

The rodenticides market itself is specifically projected to reach $8.6 billion by the year 2031, with rats and mice being targeted as threats to global public health and food supplies, according to the SNS Insider report.

Unfortunately for those being hit hard by mice and rats, the report suggests the issues will continue to affect economic capital and food reserves due to the need for rodent control. Also, there will be heightened concerns about the spread of rodent-borne diseases because of the destructive impact of rodents on homes, buildings, infrastructure, and utilities necessitates robust pest control solutions.

The best way to control rodents is to prevent them in the first place. That’s also a big aspect of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Rotating chemicals, using different types of control methods (baits, traps, glue boards, etc.), and educating consumers are all important too.

But the key is to utilize premium door sweep products because most rodent infestations start with mice or rats entering a home or building through an opening the size of a quarter! Burrtec door sweeps are the solution.
