RatGate - Rodent Prevention Devices
A RatGate is a highly effective rodent prevention device that fits into your drains with the simple purpose of keeping rats out of your property. It is the best and most humane way to stop rats from entering your property permanently.
The device is humane, poison free and environmentally friendly and manufactured in 4" (110mm), 6" (160mm) and 9" (225mm) versions that fit clay, plastic and cast iron drainage pipes.
The RatGate is also the only product on the market that allows you to open the flap from the top of the manhole, a crucial feature for any rodding or camera investigations that may be needed in the future.

What is a RatGate
Rodent Prevention Device?
Rats have become a formidable challenge in our modern urban habitat, causing extensive damage to properties and posing serious health risks. They have adapted to our surroundings and can infiltrate properties through various means, such as through broken pipes or poorly sealed-off disused pipes. And when they do find their way inside properties, they can be notoriously difficult to remove.
Now here's the good news... our innovative devices are designed to prevent rats from entering or re-entering properties through the sewer system, whilst still allowing water and waste to run freely through it.
How RatGate
Devices Work
The device opens with the direction of flow, which allows water / waste to pass effortlessly through the device, without allowing rats to push against it and gain access to your property.
The device is multi-directional, and can be installed in either the up or down stream direction of flow.
The RatGate includes a patented liftable flap mechanism, providing easy access for drain maintenance.
