Roshield Drain Guards

Available in 110mm (4″) or 150mm (6″)

Professional build quality rodent drain flap to prevent rodent access to a properties main drainage system.

It is estimated that, 90% of internal rat problems are caused by drainage defects and the Roshield Drain Guard is possibly the best proofing method to treat both active infestations as well prevent recurrence.

The rat enter premises through the drainage defect such as a broken pipe and generally burrow through the ground until internal entry is gained into the building foundations, wall cavity and loft.

The Roshield Drain Guard prevents rats from entering buildings via the sewer system, while allowing the free flow of waste in the other direction.

It is important to note that additional care should be taken not to flush wet wipes and other solids not suitable for drainage

Installation.

Install the flap nearest to the boundary of the property or if you are aware of a drain collapse install it between the collapse and the property.

Make sure that the flap is pointing down stream and if necessary swap the bolt over to the correct position.

Fit the guard into the pipe making sure that the flap still has movement.

An additional installation pole is available (not included) however the majority of installations can be fitted without this device

    After hundreds of pounds, months of a rat invasion in our wall cavities, ceilings and eventually kitchen and many sleepless nights, we have been rat free since fitting this over a week ago. The relief is immense. We are very careful about what goes down the drains though to avoid any blockages. Would highly recommend this product.

    Looks and feels of good quality. Seems to be working so far as no rats since installed.

    I had a rubber version of this with plastic flap that has been in situ for four years, (I did replace just the flap with a metal one (bottom of baked bean tin) aprox 2 years ago as it got chewed), but it has kept us rat free so it was worth it’s weight in gold. Recently we had them in the floor space and loft so checked the flap only to find the body was perished and falling apart. For another 25 paid for the plastic/rubber version I ordered this and it’s by far the more sensible option…very well made, very strong and fits like a glove. I fully expect this to last for years without issues.

    This product is a life saver easy to instal and works perfectly, had an issue with rats burrowing in a wall under our sewer we filled the wall hole but they kept coming back trying to gnaw through the cement, we put poison down for a week they kept returning to take poison. We came across this on Amazon and figured it maybe expensive but will save money in the long run and rid us of the rats, it has worked perfectly rats can’t access our drainage system now so the poison has been untouched for over a week now. It flows perfectly and no blockages with toilet paper or anything else very happy.

    Great product stops rodents in there tracks

    I was advised to purchase & fit one of these rodent stopper devices to get rid of our rat problem having tried other measures to stop them , this is your go to rodent stopper for sure , I was a bit sceptical at first but believe me it works very well indeed , after fitting this in the drain gully we had no more rat problems at all , very sturdy & will do the job , its not an easy fitting job but if I can do it then so can you , im 53 & all i needed was a hammer to tap it into place .

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersNever had to worry again from the day I installed it. You can probably spend more on more fancy flaps and Danish designs, but as it runs out, my rats were local simpletons and beat it for good. Before, I had replaced two rubber 4″ to 1 1/4″ reducers [on a cowboy job join under the throne]. Getting on to the join was painful and floor-tile destructive, never mind the muck… The third reducer I installed was of harder resin but the bastards could still be heard coming back the 4″ from the street (well, my dog did…). So I had my water company inspect with a endoscopic camera which didn’t reveal anything wrong. But I kept asking them “what I could do?” So in the end they said: “we didn’t tell you, right? But you can put a rat trap as long as it is on your end of the inspection manhole. You may need to check it for blockage every now and then, but we won’t.” This unit doesn’t have any complex gubbins working the flaps, so I doubt it will get clogged up with bog roll and we don’t flush anything else down]. So I put this unit on: job done!

    Very good. Stopped the rats but super expensive for what it is.
    Would be better if it was a bit longer so it could go deeper in the pipe.
    Where I fitted it the manhole wasn’t flush with the pipe hence more length would have been better.

    Given it 4 stars.

    1 star lost because it’s very very expensive.

    Ideal to stop rats, very sturdy. I managed to pinch the drain guard together and insert into the drain pipe, a bit fiddly but once in it isn’t going to move!

    Good quality product does the job well without restricting the flow in the drains

    Yes the non return valve trap does the job and so far for us this has worked well. We had an infestation of rats with the entry point through the main drains to under our property. We would add that it is a wise idea to regularly check your drains to make sure all is flowing well. But with regard to rats it does the job. Hope this helps.

    It works! Easy to install once a little bit of pre bending was applied. A definite must for rat prevention and cure.

    Bought this product for my drain , was expecting a lot of hassle installing it but was very surprised how easy it was , was a very tight fit but went in with no problem.
    Pricing was mid range of the ones I had looked at so good for the price.
    Instructions were basic but straightforward , just look on the side of the product and you can’t go wrong

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersAfter having problems 2 years ago I spent a couple hundred pounds on baiting etc with a pest control company then identified the problem being holes near the lip of the man hole which was easily repaired. 2 years later I hear noises again in the cavity walls and ceiling. I check all the existing problem areas I rectified no sign of damage .

    After paying 80 for a drain survey we found a hole had been gnawed between the 2 manhole sections and it was 600 cost to have this smartly repaired without any digging involved a costly repair but I just wanted the issues resolved . Repair done no signs of Rats for about 5-6 months then again I can hear the pesky critters again!! Not looking to spend a small fortune i searched online and come across this device although not exactly cheap it was cheaper than paying 80 for a survey and god knows how much for a repair.

    Its been about 2 week now since I’ve fitted this so far so good . Well packaged and very easy to install I haven’t heard anything as of yet and fingers crossed I dont!. I wish I come across this before spending 700 on the last repair as I feel this would have solved my problem if I had come across this first.

    We have had a lot of smells in our drains due to rate, Wasn’t Sure if this would work and it’s a lot of money to waste. But so far no rat droppings and no smells

    I would have saved a lot of money on repellents, traps and pest control companies if I had got this device in the first place. Apparently drains are a common form of entry for rats. I installed this drain guard and have not heard or smelt a rat ever since.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersWe appeared to have a rat coming through a broken / compromised drain following an extension, climbing up the cavitity before burrowing in somehow! We heard scratching for months before it make its way in.
    Anyways, fitted this about 9 months ago and touch wood we’ve not had any issues with rats since. Stops them at source.
    100% recommend if you have rats in through drains. Probably will require annual clean (urgh) and replace after few years… Time will tell.
    Bit pricey for couple bits of engineered metal but it’s a relatively specialist requirement.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersWe had a rat infestation. I paid GBP400 for a three visit treatment from a pest control company. On the second visit they opened the drain and told me that I needed a rat drain guard and that it would cost GBP350 plus vat on top of what I already paid.

    I just bought this and installed it in 5 minutes myself. V easy. Just make sure you know the direction of the waste flow (hint: away from your house) and that you put the bolt in to stop it from going all the way into the drainpipe and being impossible to remove.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersWe had a problem with rats coming from the public sewer. The Roshield Rat Guard is of strong,simple construction and proved easy to fit in the exit pipe located in the access pit where the various house sewage pipes arrive. The product may seem expensive – but,in our experience it works!
