How Rat Drain Blockers Work
Rat drain blockers are designed to stop rats from getting from the main sewer system into your home’s drain pipes. There are many different rat blockers on the market, but Invicta Environmental’s drain experts use the RatGate.
Unique to the market, RatGate is the only option currently available that allows you to open the flap from the top of the manhole. This is a highly useful feature as it means that if you require drain rods to clear your drains or a CCTV drain survey in the future, you can access the drain without removing the RatGate.
It comes in 4″ (110mm), 4″ Slimline (110mm), 6″ (160mm) and 9″ (225mm) versions, all of which fit clay, plastic and cast iron drain pipes, making it ideal for a variety of homes. RatGate is humane, environmentally-friendly and effective at stopping rats from entering properties through the drains.
Invicta’s Rat Blocker Installation Process
During our initial site visit, our team will discuss why you want a rat drain blocker installed, and if you need any other services, such as rat control to get rid of an existing rat problem.
If necessary, we will carry out a CCTV drain survey to check your drains for signs of rat ingress. Our team can then suggest the best course of action, as well as the best size of RatGate.
Our team will install your RatGate quickly and efficiently, aiming to reduce the disruption to your home or commercial buildings.
After the rat blocker is installed, our team will provide a full report detailing exactly what has been done and any further treatment or action that needs to be taken.
The Importance Of Protecting You Drains From Rats
It’s a well-known fact that rats live in sewer pipes throughout the UK, but what you might not realise is that this network connects directly to your home. While it is only designed for waste and water to leave the property, this system can also allow rats to enter your property.
Once inside, rats can cause extensive damage, including causing a potential fire hazard if they chew through live wires. Rats also spread diseases, including Leptospirosis (Weil’s Disease), Hantavirus and Salmonellosis, as well as parasites such as fleas or ticks.
Invicta Environmental carries out rat control for homes or businesses across Durham, Newcastle, the North East and beyond.
Our team have removed rat infestations of all sizes, and we know that one of the most common ways they get in is through the drains. To reduce the chances of damage, disease or disruption and give yourself true peace of mind, consider getting a rat drain blocker installed by our experts.

Rat Drain Blocker FAQs
Rat blockers like RatGate are humane and will safely stop rats without causing them harm. The solution allows water and waste to pass through the device easily, but rats can’t push through. The one-way valve puts an end to potential rat problems discreetly and effectively.
Rat blockers are usually easy to install, but it depends on the model you choose. Invicta uses RatGate, which our drain experts can easily install with minimal disruption.
While rat drain blockers prevent rats from gaining access to your property, they also allow the water to flow freely in your drainage system. As such, you can protect your property from rat infestations without compromising on the performance of your drains.
Invicta Environmental is a RatGate Official Partner, meaning we supply and install the RatGate as standard. Our team has direct access to fast ordering systems and manufacturer support, meaning we can quickly get and fit your RatGate.
