🐀 STOP RATS GETTING IN!
Out of sight doesn’t mean out of reach when it comes to rats. That’s why installing rat flaps can be an important part of an effective rodent-proofing strategy. 🔧
Rat flaps are one-way valves fitted to suitable drainage pipework, allowing wastewater to flow out while helping prevent rats from travelling back up the drain and entering a property.
✅ Help prevent rat ingress through connected drainage systems.
✅ Reduce the risk of infestations by blocking a potential route into your property.
✅ Protect your premises from the damage, contamination and disruption associated with rats.
✅ Support long-term rodent management alongside proofing, monitoring and professional pest control.
🐀 Why are they important?
Rats can exploit defects in drainage systems to gain access to buildings. Treating the rats you can see is only part of the solution. Identifying and addressing how they're getting in is key to reducing the risk of repeat problems.
At Pests Controlled Ltd, we focus on more than just treating the symptoms. We look at the bigger picture, helping identify access points and implement practical measures to prevent future activity.
