Garages have typically been left alone by the pest control industry, and even by many garage door companies until recently. As the focus of keeping mice and rats away from a home continues to focus more on exclusion – i.e. prevention – protecting the garage became critical.
Typical two-car garages are 16-feet wide and 7-8 feet high, so the Ratshut Weatherproofing Strip from Burrtec USA comes in the ideal length – 16 feet! (Also comes in smaller length) This lightweight, powerful product allows door professionals to protect the sides and top of every garage that needs it for less than $300 at cost – offering a lot of space price-wise for upselling.
In a way, exclusion using Burrtec has become a new service and revenue stream for door professionals, and for pest control professionals that are performing garage work.
As it continues to warm up, energy loss is a protection too. While in winter it’s about keeping the heat inside the garage, during spring and summer the focus is keeping it from getting too hot. Ratshut provides a barrier around all edges of the garage door.
Ratshut by Burrtec is a stainless-steel spine-backed product and an essential tool for maintenance and facility managers, pest control professionals, and garage door installers. Burrtec’s door sweeps can protect from rodent infestations, as well as stop dust, dirt, and pollen.
