The New York media have been fascinated with the topic of rodents running around the city for years, but recently it has been as they seek a newer food source – pigeons.
Big Apple rats have been spotted seeking out and jumping on pigeons to take them as a food source. Pigeons are typically overfed by tourists and locals alike making them attractive to rats.
A few years ago, a rat was captured on video dragging a piece of pizza into the subway and was donned the nickname, Pizza Rat. Another tugged a burrito onto the subway tracks and was named Burrito Rat. Even worse, another rat was found at Dunkin Donuts eating away.
They all have one thing in common – they typically enter a location through the doorway… under it! Doorways are the most common area for rats and mice to sneak into a home or business as the opening under a door can be small and still allow a rodent to squeeze through.
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.
