Do rats climb up downspouts or gutter drainpipes? How do rats get UNDER MY FLOORS?!

- Detecting how rats get in your home, especially when rats are under or in between your floors, is an important step to being RAT FREE!
Do rats climb up inside guttering downpipes? Well, in 30years we've known it happen twice......so, no, rats don't really climb up roof water pipes to gain access to your house. It can happen, but extremely rarely.
Have you been told that rats are getting into your house by climbing drain pipes? Have you been told you need "anti-climb pins" putting into your downspouts to stop the rats?
If so, get rid of that rat who doesn't know what he is talking about when it comes to solving your rat issues! GET A RAT FREE LIFETIME GUARANTEE!

I do have rats that climb up my down spout. I can hear them climb through to my roof.
Stop them climbing up there then. ☺️
Report back to us when you still have rats in your loft (because rats don’t get in your loft up down spouts!)
My dumb chinese husband told me they get up the drainpipes bull I said no way
Love your videos but had them climb a downspout here also. They are known to also (but rarely) climb up soil pipes and get Into toilets, but you would know this obviously
@ChristianGrey-hj9yu it’s a common misconception that rats are going up to a loft like that. In reality it’s always the opposite.
Common sense tells you it’s correct, but rats don’t play by the same rules as us. ☺️
They got into my daughter's roof up the downspouts. I have had them get under the floor through old cut off drain pipes. I have also had them chew through as window frame to get in in broad daylight, and go through soft red brick walls.
It may seem this way but in reality it’s actually the opposite to what you think.
If you look closely at all what you’ve mentioned you’ll notice that the evidence actually says the holes were made from inside.
It’s a really common misconception, 99% of “pro” pest control get it wrong too ☺️
@@PestInterceptorsI actually watched the rats chewing through the wooden window frame from outside one Saturday afternoon. The rats in underfloor pipes could only have got in from outside the building, because I had all the floor up, to remove the pipes, and concrete the area again.
@@jagracershoestring609 not true. Especially if you have cavity walls.
But you’re the expert obviously 🙄 what would we know 🤷♂️😝🤣
I had a rat infestation for two months earlier this year. After blocking the downpipe with galvanised mesh, the next day it was covered in knaw marks, rat grease and footprints; the infestation stopped within days after fortifying this. Worth mentioning the exit point was/is a disconnected pipe to the downstairs toilet into the sewer, still not fixed but it hasn’t been used by them to get back in bizarrely.
@@JoeliBoi well something doesn’t add up there then does it 😊
I have a question to ask you guys? Would rats travel up the small drain pipes leading to your kitchen sinks, basins etc? Or is it just too tight and too long of a distance for them to travel in them?. I've had them get into my septic tank last October and they arrived in the toilet bowl. I fitted a rat flap and problem solved 👍. But the water from the sinks doesn't go to my septic tank but to a soakaway, hence my question is it possible for them to enter the soakaway and run up a pipe to the house?. Thanks lads, love the videos and have learned a lot from yee 👍😎.
No they won’t go up the pipes you are describing.
Plus yours is kind of a sealed system unless you’re a semi or terraced house.
@@PestInterceptors thank you for your reply lads 😎👍. That's correct, I live in a bungalow in the countryside in lovely West Cork, southern Ireland. Your videos have solved my 4 month rat problem 👍. Rat flap fitted in the septic tank, sealed up 2 holes in the roof (1 under a ridge tile of a dormer window) and another in the eaves, cut back afew trees and keeping the area around the outside of the house extra tidy and it's been extremely quiet rat wise with 4 weeks 😎👍.
@@PestInterceptors if they come down the drain pipes and they have anti climb obstacles fitted, would they then get stuck at that point and not be able to get back up?
Rats can't climb up a vertical 10 foot soil pipe then they're only coming through the downstairs lav. Seal it off. It won't kill you going upstairs for a pee.
@barnbersonol they very rarely come out of a toilet pan if it’s got water in it.
Watch some more of our videos and you’ll see and understand just how rats get in your house.
@@PestInterceptors surely if you have a disused toilet pan you seal with a ball of chicken wire.
@@barnbersonol any unused toilet should have water in the pan to keep sewer odours out. Also an empty pan will let your homes scent be smelt by rats and invite them to your home. Chicken wire is not going to solve that. You either keep water in the pan or remove the toilet and cap off the pipe. I've a toilet with the flush mechanism broken and I fill the pan weekly with water to keep it full until I get it repaired.
@@barriejordan2837 why is it taking you weeks to fix the flush? It's easy peasy. And anyway, you can just chuck in a bucket of water to flush it.
@@barnbersonol because I have 2 other bathrooms in my house and I'm very busy with other jobs at the moment.
Anti climb pins😂
@styusuf5671 nah…..screws! 😝
