Plastic rat blockers are better than many alternative methods of ‘pest control.” A high quality plastic rat blocker will also block snakes, frogs, spiders and anything else that might try and make its way into your toilet.
“Rat blockers create a physical barrier that stops rats in the sewer from gaining access to the pipes of your toilet and/or drain. Plastic rat blockers are particularly cost-effective, especially if you buy a trusted brand such as Multiflap. The Multiflap non return valve has been tested in over two million open and closing cycles and will last for in excess of 30 years!
Unlike chemical control methods like rat poison, a preventative measure such as the Multiflap rodent blocker doesn’t contain any harmful substances and does not present a danger to wildlife or the environment. In fact, they help to protect the integrity of the drain system and prevent leakage of chemicals into the environment.
As well as being kind to the environment, rat blockers such as Multiflap are also humane. They prevent rats straying into toilets by simply showing them that there is no access through the area where it is fitted. No poison, no traps, just a closed access point.
It’s often seen documented that plastic rat blockers should be avoided because rats can chew them. The truth is, unless there is something extremely tempting on the other side, a rat is highly unlikely to make the effort to chew through a barrier when it can simply make another route choice.
