Rodent Repellent

A range of non-lethal/humane rodent repellent masterbatches

A range of non-lethal/humane rodent repellent masterbatches

A compelling blend of efficacy, safety and sustainability

 

Rodents can cause dangerous and costly damage to plastic products such as cable insulation, piping and building infrastructure, warehouse pallets, non-food packaging and boxes etc.

Symphony has developed masterbatch technologies to fight back with products that repel these pests. The masterbatch can be incorporated into  polymeric matrices like LDPE, HDPE and PVC without compromising the integrity or performance. This makes it ideal for cables, pipes,  films and packaging vulnerable to rodent attack.

Rodent repellent masterbatch technologies offer the following advantages:

 

Behavioural change:  Rodents are deterred from gnawing the plastic by  intense dermal irritation,  extremely bitter taste, or a burning sensation Rodents exposed to plastic containing our masterbatch technologies have shown avoidance behaviours.  Even at low concentrations the  a potent rodents will stop gnawing, reduce contact and seek alternative food sources.

Non-lethal and humane: Repels rather than kills. Avoids ecological disruption and secondary poisoning risks associated with rodenticides.

Broad Spectrum Repellent: Effective against multiple species of pests.  Can be used in diverse environments including agriculture, industrial storage, commercial and residential buildings and automotive and aircraft wiring.

Safe for humans: Approved for use in controlled concentrations in pharmaceuticals and food-grade applications. the active ingredients do not leach out of the polymer matrix, and are effective in low doses.

Cost-effective: The active is a synthetic, making it cheaper and more stable than the natural / similar active substances. It offers similar efficacy  with reduced production costs and has a long active life of 15-30 years. .
