While rodents were scurrying for warmer shelter in the northern states, Burrtec’s sales and marketing team was attending pest control’s largest trade show in America – PestWorld!

Held every October by the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), PestWorld celebrates the industry by offering both informative speakers and the trade show exhibits each day. Burrtec held meetings with key customers and distributors.

 

At the forefront of all discussions regarding Burrtec is the company’s newest and most popular product – Ratshut.

 

Launched at PestWorld 2024 in Denver, it’s 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.

Exclusion is a simple tactic that when done correctly, can actually prevent rodent infestations before they start. That’s why Ryan Roy of Connecticut’s Marksman LLC relies heavily on Burrtec USA’s line of door sweeps to prevent mice and rats from entering under doorways.

 

 

Rodent problems have not lessened much during COVID-19 and in most areas, PMPs are still getting one of every six calls for a rodent issue. But while reacting to mice and rat problems is part of the job, preventing them is the other part. Ryan Roy uses Burrtec USA’s door sweep products for one reason – they work.

 

“Finding a proper solution for exclusion needs is important to every pest control professional,” said Roy. “What’s important is being able to install a door sweep easily, know that the product is dependable and strong, and have peace of mind that it will provide premium performance against rodents trying to eat through it.”

 

Because Burrtec’s door sweep products are made with stainless steel – not plastic or aluminum like other manufacturers – it can prevent rodents from biting through it to enter a home or business. That’s why PMPs around the country use it as a daily exclusion tool.

 

“It’s really important to use the right products so our customers can know that we’re doing everything in our power to protect them from pest control issues – especially when we’re trying to prevent them from happening in the first place,” said Roy. “That’s why I can feel good about using Burrtec door sweeps whenever I’m in the need of an exclusion solution.”

 

Burrtec has been providing door sweeps to the pest control industry and has grown to become an industry leader thanks to its product performance.

 

“We’re very proud of the company we’ve built but it’s entirely based on door sweep solutions that meet the toughest needs that are put before pest control professional throughout the U.S.,” says Burrtec USA international sales manager Ken Arai. “Having owners like Ryan Roy support us is the reason we’re in this business.”

One year after launching at PestWorld in Denver, Burrtec USA’s Ratshut product is being used from coast to coast by both consumer and pest industry professionals.

 

 

Burrtec USA unveiled the product at the industry’s largest trade show, with immediate interest both in the U.S. and globally. Preventing rats and mice from entering homes and businesses is a concern that affects residents of all areas.

 

Ratshut is a rodent-proof weather strip designed to prevent rodents from entering through openings at the top and sides of garage doors. It comes with a slick white design with a stainless-steel plate inside the plastic exterior. It is durable yet flexible plastic and installs quickly.

 

In addition, the product comes available for regular doors, both residential and commercial, and does not prevent the door from staying open or closing.

October is the month when temperatures start to fall, typically for good, to a lower level where evenings are in the 40s/50s and some days start to feel chilly.

 

As a result, most mice and rats will start their annual trek to seek a comfortable shelter for the colder fall and eventually winter months. According to Action Termite & Pest Control, rodents move indoors for three reasons:

 

• Temperature
• Food sources
• Shelter

 

In addition, water is a main source for rodents to seek indoor shelter. Many homes and commercial buildings have water available to disease-spreading mice and rats, and that attracts them.

 

Commercial buildings can prevent rats and mice by using Burrtec’s Ratshut, it’s 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.

Rodents are the “Pest of the Seek” on Mosquito’s Squad’s popular social media, which profiles pests and gives tip on how to prevent them!

 

 

Rats and mice are commonly known for entering homes through openings under doorways, around plumbing penetrations, under siding shingles, and through roof gaps. So, prevention is the key and knowing whether or not you have rodents.

Of all types of prevention for rodents, door protection is at the top of the list. Rodents sneak under doorways in spaces as small as a quarter or less. Any type of opening can be the start of a long-term infestation.

 

Stopping mice and rats from entering under doorways is where most pest professionals use Burrtec products. The company’s stainless steel-powered weatherstrip and door sweep products prevent rodents. These prevent mice and rats – as well as dust and dirt – from entering into a garage. Burrtec also has a product for typical residential and commercial doors.
