Rat Damage Costs More Than £370m Per Year - How Do You Stop Rats From Chewing Wires?
Rats are notoriously destructive. They gnaw through wiring in cars, build nests in seats, and generally wreck everything in their path. We carried out a ground-breaking study to discover precisely how much harm they do to vehicles. As a result of this study, it was determined how frequently rats were destroying vehicles and how much the repairs cost. In the UK, there are an estimated 10.5 million rats, according to recent studies. Although this is a large amount, it is much less than previously imagined. So how do you stop rats from chewing wires?
According to our data, 9 percent of UK automobile owners have experienced damage to their vehicles as a result of rats. Damage to engine parts, tubes, wiring, and the plastic cowling are all examples of this. They require hard substances to wear away the rats' teeth since their teeth develop regularly. Wiring is a common target because of this. Additionally, warm engines draw in rats in need of a location to raise their young. Additionally, the scent of breadcrumbs and empty crisp packs in the footwells draw their attention.
Using a totally new technology, Hammer Technologies RatMat Rat Repellent Flooring is able to keep rats at bay. We have filed a patent for it; the system uses special hardware to safeguard your vehicle engine and wiring from rodents. Working like an electric fence built into a flooring tile, it is incredibly efficient at keeping rodents under control. When other rat repellents have failed, this is a valuable alternative.
Repairs to a vehicle averaged over £300 in our study, with the most costly repairs costing more than £7500. For a high-end sports vehicle, such as a Porsche, this is the price of a rewiring. According to our findings, rat-caused automotive damage costs the United Kingdom $377,410,909 annually. We describe how this was done below if you're interested in data.
Humans ingenuity has developed many trapping methods, repellents and toxins. Despite this, the statistic still stands. As a result of these on-going issues, we came up with our brand-new RatMat technology to stop rats from chewing wires. Your automobile will be protected against rodents and mice thanks to our innovative patent-pending innovation. To check on availability, click on the "Buy Now" button.
How We Calculated It
Approximately 31 million vehicles were registered in the United Kingdom in 2013, as per the Department of Transportation. The study calculated the mean of 1.86 instances of rat damage per respondent. 8 of the 33 recorded rat damage incidents occurred in the last year. In a poll of 117 automobile owners, 11 said they had suffered damage. 9 percent of 11/117 x 100 equals 9%.
Per year, the cost of car damage is calculated as follows: 9 percent damage costs 31 million vehicles £300 * 1.86 episodes * 8/33 = 377,410,909 per year.
