Sometimes to attract rodents it’s simply an increase in food sources or water availability or even better shelter options. Recently in San Francisco, it was all three in what the media called a “Perfect Storm” of rodent attractions.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, a mix of urbanization, building practices, and mild winters have created a rodent problem – rats specifically – that have increased the work of pest management professionals.
The issue puts the spotlight on what has become the most important aspect of pest control when it comes to controlling mice and rats – exclusion. Prevention before is much more important than control after.
Burrtec’s Ratshut is a premium stainless-steel spine-backed product and an essential tool for maintenance and facility managers, pest control professionals, and garage door installers. Both rats and mice cannot chew through it!
