Pest Management University will be headlined by Dr. Bobby Corrigan’s Rodent Academy later this month!
Rodent Academy is a specialized training event that provides attendees with in-depth knowledge of commensal rodent biology, behavior, and best management practices. Rodent Academy started 20 years ago in New York City.
The course, in Apopka, Florida from March 31 to April 2, is limited to 35 students to provide a hands-on setting. To register for the course, visit:
In an interview for Burrtec’s blog, Corrigan years ago expressed how important protecting doors are in preventing rodents.
“Any penetration like a line that enters a home – a utility line, a plumbing line, a cable line, anything that goes through a wall, and you do not seal properly the rodents will follow that line where the penetration comes out.
“For gaps or holes, if it’s more than a 6 mm gap it allows a mouse in, if it’s more than a 12 mm gap, it allows a rat in. As you drive down the street you look at people’s garage doors and if you see light leaking from the garage door, that gap – a little gap makes it easy for them to enter.”
An industry leader at preventing rodents, Burrtec and its newest product – Ratshut – have gained momentum in the industry. 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.
