Purchase options and add-ons
- STOP RATS FROM DRAINS - One of the primary ingress points for rats into a domestic or commercial property is via the drainage system, either directly from the main sewers or a collapse within the pipe. A drain guard is installed within the inspection chamber to stop rats.
- ONE-WAY FLAP PREVENTION - The Roshield drain guards allows liquids and solid waste to pass down the system whilst preventing access to rats moving upstream. The rats cannot pass or chew through the barrier flap, thus preventing their access to re-infest.
- EASY TO INSTALL PROTECTION - Drain guards require no previous experience with installation and, once installed, needs no long-term maintenance. Drain guards can be installed either at the entrance or exit of the pipe, and the included bolt can be switched to match the flow direction.
- MADE IN THE UK - Are drain guards are manufactured in the UK from 316 stainless steel (marine-grade) and are suitable for the challenging and damp environment found within a drainage system. Our drain guards are used within the professional pest control industry.
- DRAIN GUARD KIT SIZE - This listing is for a 4" / 110mm version. The drain guard can be installed into 100mm Victorian drains. Instructions are included, and we also offer a support video and backup technical help on request. A 6" / 150mm variant is also available.

Product Description
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

150mm / 6" Drain Guard

Took some elbow grease to install

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 August 2024Quick delivery, appears to be very sturdy good quality product. I am confident it will do the job. Good value compared to similar more expensive drain rat guard and in my view a better design.
Fitting it, I found it necessary to literally hammer it down into place as the cement surrounding the drain is narrower than 4" drain. Once in the drain the fit was good and will I'm sure stop the rats. As can be seen I fitted on the in the exit drain, meaning I can subsequently easily check that there is no snagging that could cause a blockage and see any evidence (droppings on the side shoulders) of a rat getting though.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 January 2025Working as it should letting the rats and mice go out and not back in and is easy to fit you can do it yourself
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 October 2024I would suggest you need a mallet to install this, the wings ensure a tight and solid fit but make it hard to install. Eventually got there with some elbow grease and tested the flow rate is unaffected and so far so good. We have had evidence rats in our drains that are burrowing under the house via our old drainage system so I’m hoping this does the trick, but time will tell if it addresses the core problem

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 July 2024This rat gate has been a game changer for dealing with a rat issue we were facing. We had been dealing with rat activity under our floors and in the loft. After speaking to a specialist he advised that they were entering through the drains and told us to fit a gate in our drain inspection chamber.
The rat gate is a robust, made from stainless steel, and it's clear that the product is built to last. I had seen some plastic alternatives but the risk is the rats will chew through the plastic.
Installation was a bit tricky, but manageable. As our drain was relatively shallow, I was able to reach in and fit the guard. It took about 5 minutes, including tightening or loosening the bolt to secure each gate in place. For those with deeper drains, the installation might be more challenging, and a different type of gate may be needed.
I initially purchased two of these drain guards several years ago, and recently purchase of a third to cover an additional drain, I checked on the original two. I was pleased to find that there were no signs of rust, wear, or movement—testaments to the product’s durability. There was also no signs of a blockage as the gate allowed liquid and solid waste to pass through while preventing rats from moving upstream.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 October 2023We were getting rats popping up in our outside drain where our kitchen sink waste pipe flowed. They could not get out, but it is disconcerting seeing them and the thought of them popping out of the toilet is somewhat alarming.
After looking for a solution I stumbled across these one way gates that can be fitted in an inspection chamber. I was sceptical about how easy it would be to install, although I needn’t have worried. Fitting took less than five mins, all you do is slide it into the pipe in an inspection chamber. It is a reassuringly secure fit and I gave it a couple of taps with a rubber mallet.
Since fitting, I have not seen or heard a rat and there is no evidence in the inspection chamber of them getting past it. Also I have checked a couple of times after fitting and no toilet waste has got stuck on it. I feel it is a little expensive for why it is, but this was the cheapest I could find it. Hopefully it’ll last for years to come!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 January 2025Doesn’t work one bit there is a gab underneath where the rats are still getting in as the flap doesn’t go all the way down I have a 4 inch for a 4 inch drain it is a nice tight fit but the flap just isn’t big enough and just not the best quality I would recommend paying the little bit extra and getting a better quality one as this doesn’t solve the problem
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 November 2024Bit awkward to get into the pipe.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2024I installed these myself and within 2 days the rate had left my property. A month later and no sign of any return. Easy to install, provided the drain pot is a standard size. You do need a bit of brute force and a hammer. Clear and easy to understand direction arrow on device. Well made and value for money. Saved hundreds on a pest control call out fees.
