What is a RaGate
What is a RatGate
Rodent Prevention Device?
Rats have become a formidable challenge in our modern urban habitat, causing extensive damage to properties and posing serious health risks. They have adapted to our surroundings and can infiltrate properties through various means, such as through broken pipes or poorly sealed-off disused pipes. And when they do find their way inside properties, they can be notoriously difficult to remove.
Now here's the good news... our innovative devices are designed to prevent rats from entering or re-entering properties through the sewer system, whilst still allowing water and waste to run freely through it.

How RatGate
Devices Work
The device opens with the direction of flow, which allows water / waste to pass effortlessly through the device, without allowing rats to push against it and gain access to your property.
The device is multi-directional, and can be installed in either the up or down stream direction of flow.
The RatGate includes a patented liftable flap mechanism, providing easy access for drain maintenance.
