Roshield Rat Drain Guard | Stop Rats within Drainage & Properties | Rodent Flap Control & Prevention Proofing (Stainless Steel 4"/110mm)

Solid and like the fact you can reverse the fit dependent on drain flow direction. Needed some persuading with a rubber mallet but it early days. So far, good.

Well made and substantial part. A little difficult to fit as difficult to compress

Quick delivery, appears to be very sturdy good quality product. I am confident it will do the job. Good value compared to similar more expensive drain rat guard and in my view a better design. Fitting it, I found it necessary to literally hammer it down into place as the cement surrounding the drain is narrower than 4" drain. Once in the drain the fit was good and will I'm sure stop the rats. As can be seen I fitted on the in the exit drain, meaning I can subsequently easily check that there is no snagging that could cause a blockage and see any evidence (droppings on the side shoulders) of a rat getting though.

This rat gate has been a game changer for dealing with a rat issue we were facing. We had been dealing with rat activity under our floors and in the loft. After speaking to a specialist he advised that they were entering through the drains and told us to fit a gate in our drain inspection chamber. The rat gate is a robust, made from stainless steel, and it's clear that the product is built to last. I had seen some plastic alternatives but the risk is the rats will chew through the plastic. Installation was a bit tricky, but manageable. As our drain was relatively shallow, I was able to reach in and fit the guard. It took about 5 minutes, including tightening or loosening the bolt to secure each gate in place. For those with deeper drains, the installation might be more challenging, and a different type of gate may be needed. I initially purchased two of these drain guards several years ago, and recently purchase of a third to cover an additional drain, I checked on the original two. I was pleased to find that there were no signs of rust, wear, or movement—testaments to the product’s durability. There was also no signs of a blockage as the gate allowed liquid and solid waste to pass through while preventing rats from moving upstream.

I have standard sized drain/sewer pipe. Initially it was very tricky to install and had to bend in the sides a lot to get it to fit, however, i then noticed that due to the 'wings' that are welded onto the sides of the blocker, it was resulting in the blocker sitting too high in the pipe, leaving a gap for rats to come up underneath the valve/flap. I used a hacksaw to remove the wings and then it fits perfectly. Not sure why they added these but they prevented a good fit for me. You can clearly see the before and after pic the difference and the much better fit without the wings

We were getting rats popping up in our outside drain where our kitchen sink waste pipe flowed. They could not get out, but it is disconcerting seeing them and the thought of them popping out of the toilet is somewhat alarming. After looking for a solution I stumbled across these one way gates that can be fitted in an inspection chamber. I was sceptical about how easy it would be to install, although I needn’t have worried. Fitting took less than five mins, all you do is slide it into the pipe in an inspection chamber. It is a reassuringly secure fit and I gave it a couple of taps with a rubber mallet. Since fitting, I have not seen or heard a rat and there is no evidence in the inspection chamber of them getting past it. Also I have checked a couple of times after fitting and no toilet waste has got stuck on it. I feel it is a little expensive for why it is, but this was the cheapest I could find it. Hopefully it’ll last for years to come!

Easy to use and easy to install

Quick delivery and the item is as described.

Nachdem wir ständig Geräusche von Ratten in unseren Hausrohren hatten, habe ich diese Sperre bestellt. Es war die beste Idee die ich hatte. Meine Nerven können sich wieder beruhigen, das Problem mit den Ratten war sofort behoben. Jetzt können wir wieder schlafen. Der Einbau war für mich als Laien sehr einfach und hat rund 15 Minuten gedauert. Das Material fühlt sich sehr hochwertig an, ich denke das wir jetzt viele Jahre Ruhe haben werden. Allen die mit Ratten ein Problem haben , kann ich diese Rattensperre nur empfehlen.

Perfekt, wirkt absolut robust, und etwas Gemein, also genau was man sich wünscht. Ich habe die Klappe im Wartungsschacht vorm Haus nachgesetzt um zu verhindern das Nagetiere zu den Fallrohren gelangen. Hat geklappt! Diese klappen habe ich nur gewählt weil sie total wirkungsvoll, fies und gefährlich aussahen...passte zu meiner Stimmungslage, gegenüber den kleinen Tierchen :)
