The top reason many people want to stay away from rodents is the “ewww” factor. Rats are creepy rodents with big teeth that look scary to most people. Mice can elicit a similar feeling.
But the biggest motivation for keeping them from entering a home or structure is for health purposes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), rodents can spread a number of diseases including Hantavirus and Rat-Bite Fever through touch bites or scratches, among other ways.
The ways to prevent these diseases is to avoid exposure by not disturbing rodents in their habitats, through safe cleanup, and not eating or drinking anything that rodents may have contaminated.
Burrtec USA has developed a product that prevents mice and rats from entering both homes, structures and garages. It is called 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.
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.
