Rat Blocker Fitted to Drain in Cambridge
At Cambridge Pest Control Pros, we recently carried out a rat blocker installation in a residential property in Cambridge. The homeowner had been experiencing signs of rat activity inside the property, despite no visible entry points around the building. Our team conducted a full inspection and identified the source — rats accessing the home via the drainage system.
Why Fit a Rat Blocker in a Drain?
Drains are one of the most common and overlooked entry points for rats. Once inside, they can travel up through pipework and gain access to kitchens, bathrooms, and void spaces. Installing a rat blocker (also known as a non-return valve) is a highly effective, long-term solution that physically prevents rodents from entering the property via the sewer system — while still allowing waste to exit freely.
The Result
After fitting the stainless steel rat blocker, we carried out a full system test to ensure correct water flow and functionality. The device works 24/7 to block rat access through the drain, without the need for chemicals or traps. The customer can now rest easy knowing their home is protected against future rodent activity.
