Rotech Rat Drain Guard - Blocks Rodent Entry - 4 & 6 Inch Diameter

Stop rats entering your property through the drains with this heavy-duty stainless steel guard.

Rats can travel through sewer pipes and enter buildings through damaged or unprotected drain connections. The Rotech Rat Drain Guard fits inside the pipe and forms a physical barrier that blocks them, while water and waste continue to drain normally. Two sizes are available: 4 inch (97mm) for most domestic drains, and 6 inch (150mm) for larger domestic and commercial runs. Measure the internal diameter of your pipe before ordering.

Fitting is a straightforward DIY job and needs no specialist tools. For deep or awkward drains, our installation pole makes access easier. The guard is made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, so it can stay in place long term. It contains no poison, which makes it a suitable choice for homes with children and pets.

Keep Rats Out of Your Drains

Order the Rotech Rat Drain Guard to close off a common rat entry route. Rats also use gaps around pipework and air bricks, so seal these with products from our rodent proofing range. If rats are still entering after the drains are protected, the drain itself may be damaged, and a drainage specialist can carry out a CCTV survey.

Rotech® DrainGuards are designed to prevent rats from travelling through drains and consequently getting in to homes and other properties. DrainGuards are quick and simple to install. They allow rats to pass freely downstream, but protect property by preventing their movement upstream. By installing a DrainGuard into the drain outlet all up stream branches are protected.

Installation Instructions (Outlet Drain):
Remove manhole cover and flush toilet to determine the direction of flow. If the drain is out of reach, use the optional mounting pole (sold separately).

Lower the DrainGuard in to position and insert in to the outlet drain and ensuring it fits securely (you can adjust fit by compressing or expanding the walls of the DrainGuard.)

With the DrainGuard in place, ensure the flap moves freely. Test the DrainGuard by flushing the toilet 3 times with toilet paper to ensure paper and water pass the drainguard.
