Man turns rodent problem into successful business [Video]

A Clemmons man has turned a costly rodent problem into a successful business by inventing a high-tech cover to protect cars and patio furniture.”Three years ago, I had a rodent problem in my car. Cost me $25,000 to get it fixed in three months of downtime,” said Ken Huening, CEO of CoverSeal.Huening says that experience led him to invent a new kind of high-tech cover to better protect his own car.He calls it CoverSeal, which is made of polyester with a patented peripheral weight that creates even pressure around it.”It does several positive things. One of them is it keeps it from blowing off,” he said.”You’re not chasing your cover all over the neighborhood in a windstorm, and we’ve tested it up to 45 miles an hour,” he added.You can find CoverSeal on Amazon, where it sells for more than $300.Road and Track magazine listed it among the best car covers for 2024.Huening says his invention is not just for cars, noting the benefits for patio furniture and grills.”The main issue was to prevent rodents from getting into your barbecue grill. They love the barbecue after you’re done with it,” he said.”Is it waterproof? That’s an interesting question, because people have asked that, and what I’ve found with covers is that if they’re waterproof, they trap moisture underneath them,” he said.Huening says that creates mold.”Did you ever expect to become an inventor? You know, I hope everybody expects to become an inventor, because you hear about a lot of good ideas. What happens is people let them die. They don’t pursue their idea to see it into something that can be tangible, and it’s not an easy road,” he said.Road and Track lists rodent protection, quality materials, and availability in five sizes as CoverSeal’s pros.For cons, the magazine says its pricey.

‘We can get things done’: Sen. Angus King is running for re-election [Video]

TURNING NOW TO COMMITMENT 2024 – WE’RE HELPING YOU HEAR DIRECTLY FROM THE CANDIDATES FOR FEDERAL OFFICE. TONIGHT YOU’LL HEAR FROM SENATOR ANGUS KING. THE INDEPENDENT SENATOR SAYS HE IS RUNNING FOR RE- ELECTION BECAUSE HE BELIEVES THE MIDDLE IS SHRINKING IN CONGRESS. CATE MCCUSKER REPORTS. FORMER MAINE GOVERNOR AND CURRENT SENATOR ANGUS KING IS RUNNING FOR RE- ELECTION. 00;00;42;13 – 00;01;07;29 “I RAN IN 2012, WAS REELECTED IN 18 AND REALLY DIDN’T INTEND TO RUN AGAIN THIS YEAR. BUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES, REALLY MADE ME THINK IT WAS IMPORTANT TO DO SO.” AS AN INDEPENDENT – HE HOPES TO CONTINUE TO STRIVE FOR THE MIDDLE GROUND IN CONGRESS. 00;23;11;03 – 00;23;30;06 I DON’T WANT TO SEE THE SENATE BECOME SO POLARIZED. NOBODY’S TALKING TO EACH OTHER, AND NOBODY’S GETTING ANYTHING DONE. MY WHOLE REASON FOR DOING THIS IS TO MAKE IT WORK FOR THE COUNTRY AND FOR MAINE. KING SAYS HE’S PURSUING SEVERAL WAYS TO HELP WITH THE ECONOMY 00;03;19;17 – 00;03;45;16 HOUSING IS A HIGH PRIORITY BECAUSE THAT CONTRIBUTES SO CRITICALLY TO THE COST OF LIVING. AND THEN WE’VE GOT THINGS LIKE THE HIGH COST OF OF GROCERIES. BUTTED 00;03;45;19 – 00;04;12;02 AND ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I’M FOCUSED ON IS WHAT I CALL CONCENTRATION IN THE ECONOMY. BUTTED 00;04;30;05 – 00;04;56;06 MY FIGHT IS ON KEEPING COMPETITION ALIVE IN THE MARKETPLACE TO BRING COSTS DOWN. IN RESPONSE TO THE LEWISTON MASS SHOOTING – KING IS WORKING TO REGULATE HIGH CAPACITY MAGAZINES AND TO ADDRESS MENTAL HEALTH. 00;08;30;24 – 00;08;55;14 THE GO SAFE ACT BASICALLY SAYS NO MORE THAN TEN BULLETS IN A MAGAZINE, PERIOD. CAN’T BE MODIFIED, CAN’T BE ENLARGED. AND WE BELIEVE, LOOKING AT THE HISTORY OF THESE MASS SHOOTINGS, THAT WOULD MAKE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE. BUTTED 00;08;55;16 – 00;09;28;12 BUT THE OTHER PIECE IS, MENTAL HEALTH AND BRAIN DAMAGE. LEWISTON INVOLVED AN INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS IN THE MILITARY WHOSE BRAIN HAD BEEN DAMAGED BY REPEATED EXPOSURE TO EXPLOSIONS. WOMEN’S REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR THE TWO TERM SENATOR – AND HE PLEDGED TO SUPPORT EFFORTS TO CODIFY ROE V WADE. 00;12;56;29 – 00;13;27;14 THAT’S ONE OF MY HIGHEST PRIORITIES. AND THIS IDEA THAT IT SHOULD BE STATE BY STATE, A WOMAN’S REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS SHOULD NOT DEPEND ON THEIR ZIP CODE. IT’S AS SIMPLE AS THAT. HE ALSO CRITICIZED REPUBLICANS FOR BLOCKING A BORDER SECURITY BILL – AND SAYS HE HAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH FOR A SOLUTION. 00;16;10;28 – 00;16;39;09 I’VE BEEN STRONG ON BORDER SECURITY EVER SINCE I’VE BEEN THERE. IN FACT, THE PRIOR STRONGEST BORDER SECURITY BILL I AND SENATOR MIKE ROUNDS OF SOUTH DAKOTA WERE THE PRIME SPONSORS OF. WE GOT IT TO THE FLOOR. IT WAS A PRETTY SIMPLE, STRAIGHTFORWARD BILL THAT WOULD HAVE BUILT DONALD TRUMP’S WALL AND IT WOULD HAVE ACCOUNTED FOR THE DREAMERS. AND THE 80 YEAR OLD SENATOR DEFENDED HIS AGE – AND SAYS HE IS FIT TO SERVE THE PEOPLE OF MAINE. 00;18;57;01 – 00;19;18;01 I’M A YEAR YOUNGER THAN MICK JAGGER. BUTTED 00;19;18;03 – 00;19;43;25 I FEEL GREAT. I HAVE THE ENERGY ENGAGEMENT. I ALSO HAVE THE EXP
