Pest Controllers are no strangers to the chaos and complaints that come with a rodent infestation. From chewed wires to gnawed furniture, and the ever-present health risks, rats are an all-too-common problem that homeowners and businesses dread.
But here’s the good news: 2025 is the year to shift gears and make prevention a top priority. By offering proactive solutions like RatGate, you can create a win-win for your clients and your business.
Let’s dive into why rat prevention is a game-changer, how RatGate stops infestations before they start (or re-start), and what makes it the ultimate tool in your pest control arsenal.
Prevention: The Future of Pest Control
Imagine this: instead of responding to frantic calls about scurrying sounds in the attic, you’re helping clients sleep soundly, knowing their homes and businesses are rodent-proof.
RatGate tackles one of the most common entry points for rats: the drainage system. While many pest control methods deal with rats once they’re inside, RatGate stops them before they even get a chance to move in.
Prevention isn’t just smart, it’s cost-effective, stress-free, and builds long-term trust with clients.
What About Existing Infestations?
RatGate isn’t just for prevention; it’s also a fantastic tool for managing existing infestations.
Here’s why:
Rats Don’t Stay Inside 24/7: Even when rats establish themselves in a property, they still venture outside regularly to forage for food and water.
Exploration: Rats are naturally curious and will venture outside to explore their environment.
The Problem of Re-entry: Once rats leave the property, they can (and will) come back in through the same access points unless those entryways are blocked.
By installing a RatGate, you ensure that once rats exit the property, they can’t come back in.
This makes it an essential step in any rodent eradication process, stopping the cycle of infestation and re-infestation.
What Makes RatGate Special?
So, what sets RatGate apart from other rodent prevention tools? Let’s break it down:
1. It has a Flow-Controlled Design
The RatGate is designed to open in the direction of water or waste flow. This ensures that water and waste can pass effortlessly through the device whilst preventing rats from pushing against it and gaining access to your property.
2. Humane and Eco-Friendly
RatGates are poison-free, making them a humane option for clients who care about the environment (and avoiding chemical-based solutions). Plus, no poisons mean no unintended harm to pets or wildlife.
3. It’s Patented Liftable Flap Mechanism Keeps your Drain Accessible
One of the unique features of the RatGate is its patented liftable flap mechanism. The RatGate is the only product on the market that allows you to open the flap from the top of the manhole, a crucial feature for any rodding or camera investigations that may be needed in the future. This innovative feature means that there is no need to remove the RatGate from the drain when work is being undertaken.
4. It is Made from High-Grade Stainless Steel
RatGates are constructed using high-grade laser-cut stainless steel, ensuring durability and longevity. This robust construction guarantees our devices can withstand the test of time and deter even the most determined rats.
5. It is Low-Maintenance
Once the RatGate is in place, you can rest easy knowing that periodic checks by yourself are all that's needed to ensure the RatGate continues to protect the property effectively.
The Win-Win Factor
Offering RatGate as part of your 2025 pest control package isn’t just great for your clients, it’s a smart move for your business.
