Watertight Rat Barrier – Drain Non Return Valve

By Jack Wall  Posted on June 14, 2016 In Small Animals Tagged Barrier, Drain, Return, Valve, Watertight 

In a majority of rat home invasions, drains can be pinpointed as the most likely access points. There are 3 ways into your homes, the roof, the walls and underground. In nearly all cases the roof can be ruled out unless it’s damaged or the rats have easy access to it. The rat can easily walk into your home through an open door or even be brought home as a gift from the cat, damaged air bricks and holes left from pipework etc can give access to the rats, but unless there are active rats running around outside this isn’t always the way in. The last way in is underground. Your drains are an easy way in and rats DO MOST CERTAINLY live in the sewers, despite your local water company who may tell you otherwise. Rats love the sewers as it only changes 1 degree in temperature all year, there is a plentiful water supply and also due to the increasing way we dispose of food down the drains, there is food. In winter the sewers rise which means rats head for high ground and will infiltrate your lofts and walls to raise their young in safety. Drains do fail in places especially older clay and pitch fibre drains and some incidents where plastic drains have failed where the rubber seal has rotted and failed. Rats are experts in gnawing through anything softer than their teeth so can easily escape into your home. This simple rat barrier non return valve is a simple 10 minute job to push into the drain, requiring no specialist tools of experience to securely stop rats getting in. A unique and effective way to protect your home. Initially designed to combat flooding in the UK, it has proved a highly effective control measure against rodent infiltration.
