Mcalpine ARB-1 Anti Cross-Flow and Rodent Barrier Valve, Black

Product Information

Figure 22. Guards can be used to prevent rats from climbing augers, pipes, or wires leading to buildings. Footings or foundations for grain bins should extend into the ground to prevent rat burrowing. Rentokil’s Flexi Armour range provides sustainable rodent proofing solutions to help protect buildings internally and externally. By utilising hard wearing, flexible Kevlar and knitted steel mesh, Flexi Armour provides impenetrable barriers that prevent rats and mice entering your premises. An integral part of the Flexi Armour Range is the rodent door proofing solutions we offer for both pedestrian doors and commercial roller shutter doors. These door proofing options offer a sustainable approach to Integrated Pest Management by restricting rodent intrusions into your business. Rats are great at climbing and swimming, and can hold their breath for long enough that it allows them to travel from one location to another through sewage pipes and drains. Whats The Advantage Of Using A Rat Flap?

Rats typically burrow and nest under feed bunks that are placed directly on the ground or near ground level. Properly designed concrete bunks that sit tightly on a concrete base eliminate rodent habitat. Though cattle traffic may discourage burrowing under the concrete slab, a foundation may be needed to prevent burrowing around the sides of the slab that do not receive heavy cattle use. Concrete slabs on which feed bins are placed should have foundations extending 36 inches (91 cm) into the soil at the outer edge to prevent rats from burrowing under the slab. Installing heavy gravel and maintaining a clean, weed-free zone around the perimeter of the slab will also discourage rat burrowing and permit easier detection of rat activity. Flexi ArmourBuilding Seal Mesh - is a highly corrosive resistant, flexible, galvanised stainless steel knitted mesh which can be swiftly installed around the perimeter of cladded buildings as an impenetrable barrier to rodents.The Rat Barrier was initially developed to help combat flooding problems in the UK but is now being used to prevent rodent ingress into buildings, both commercial and domestic. The valve is now used to prevent the following: We sell standard insect mesh in various widths. The narrower width rolls (50 mm to 400 mm) we describe as soffit vent mesh or simply soffit mesh. Regardless of the name, this mesh is identical to standard insect mesh. Soffit vent mesh is available to buy in our online shop soffit mesh category. Midge Mesh All equipment such as large refrigerators, freezers, counters, dishwashers, and sanitizers should be raised and easily movable, enabling cleaning underneath and behind them. Insulated walls and closed areas should be tightly closed off to avoid use as harborage. Openings are commonly seen in new stainless-steel work counters in supports under the work surface, or in areas provided for drains. Drains should be easy to clean but should have rodent-proof covers.

Entry Barrier to Rodents - Kevlar and knitted steel mesh core combination (unique to Rentokil UK) is flexible yet strong enough to prevent gnawing rodents creating entrance gaps under pedestrian and roller shutter doors. Minimal Disruption - proofing is expertly and swiftly installed by professional Rentokil technicians, minimising any impact on your business. Tighter UK restrictions on rodenticides use (CRRU) - targeted proofing provides compliance with CRRU regulations, reducing environmental impact on UK wildlife by preventing rodent ingress and therefore reducing the need to use rodenticide. Next working day delivery is not available for the Scottish Highlands and some remote areas where an additional charge may apply. They are designed to be effective against the consequences to your home of drain flooding after heavy rainfall or burst water mains.Gaps or flaws along building exteriors where the wall framing or siding meets the foundation provide easy entry for rodents. Such openings can be pre-vented by well-formed and finished concrete work and installation of tight wall framing and siding, or installing metal screed-type flashing between the siding and the foundation. Use of rodent-proof exterior surface materials such as concrete, plaster, or metal sheeting is also effective if properly installed so that all ribs or corrugations are closed.

Please note this unit is NOT suitable for an outlet pipe into manhole, it will only be suitable for the pipe that exits manhole to sewer, therefore you need to locate last chamber before sewer. The choice between concrete and wire mesh depends on the expected life of the structure. Though wire mesh costs considerably less than concrete, its usefulness generally lasts only 5 to 10 years. We provide a variety of effective proofing solutions against rodent infestations to help protect every aspect of your business: Figure 15. Left: A curtain wall made of concrete will prevent rats from burrowing under foundations to gain entry to buildings. Curtain walls can be installed on existing buildings. A horizontal footing extension often deflects burrowing rodents away from structures. Right: Feed sheds, corn cribs, and other existing wooden structures can be rodent-proofed by installing hardware cloth topped by a band of sheet metal. The hardware cloth can also serve as a curtain wall to prevent rodent burrowing. The MultiFlap is a one-way non-return valve that fits easily to the exit pipe from your house to the street sewer. This means waste still goes out from your house, but immediately after the waste water has gone, the flap closes to prevent anything nasty coming up the wrong way. The prevention method and the ease with which the MultiFlap can be installed makes these products truly unique.When rats or mice are present in a building, attention must be given to interior as well as exterior rodent-proofing to remove all sources of shelter. A combination of actions is required in such instances, as no single effort is likely to yield the desired result. In the unusual event where delivery is repeatedly refused or no effort is made to accept delivery, we reserve the right to pass delivery and return courier costs to the customer. Store food products in rodent-proof enclosures or on shelving at least 18 inches (46 cm), but preferably 30 inches (76 cm) or more, above the floor. Tubular supports (legs) for shelving should be a minimum of 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter to prevent rats from shinnying up from the floor. Rats can access buildings via the drains and drainage valves or rat flaps can be employed to combat this issue Targeted Rodent Proofing– by preventing rodent ingress in these vulnerable areas and removing opportunities for them to nest and find refuge, you minimise the risk of pest activity and limit the potential spread of infestations inside your premises.
