Pest Perspectives EP69Rats in Drainage Systems, CCTV Drain Inspections & Non-Return ValvesIn this episode of Pest Perspectives Podcast, Shaun Muller is joined by Darron Pearce from RATTRAXS for a detailed discussion on one of the most overlooked areas of rodent control: rats in drainage systems.Darron brings years of hands-on experience from both the pest control and drainage industries, sharing valuable insight into how rats can use drains, damaged pipework, surface water systems, hidden chambers, flexible pan connectors, old gullies and building extension work to gain access into homes and commercial buildings.The conversation explores why recurring rat problems are not always solved by baiting alone, and why evidence-led investigation is so important. Shaun and Darron discuss CCTV drain camera inspections, how rats exploit defects or open drainage routes, the importance of understanding foul and surface water systems, and why pest controllers should know when to involve specialist drainage professionals.They also cover the use of non-return valves, including when they may be useful, why they must be fitted correctly, and the importance of flow testing, monitoring and understanding ownership of private drains versus public sewers.This episode is ideal for pest controllers, drainage professionals, facilities managers, landlords, housing providers, commercial clients and anyone dealing with repeat rat activity where the true source of the problem may be hidden below ground.Topics covered include:Rats in drains and sewer systemsCCTV drain inspections for rat ingressSurface water drainage and SUDSFoul drainage defectsFlexible pan connectors and rat entry pointsRats climbing internal stack pipesHouse extensions and hidden drainage issuesBuild-over problems and inspection chambersNon-return valves and rat gatesWorking safely within your competenceWhy pest control and drainage knowledge should work togetherA great episode for anyone who wants to better understand how rats move through drainage systems and why proper investigation can be the difference between temporary control and long-term resolution.https://rattraxspestcontrol.uk/#PestPerspectives #PestControl #RatControl #DrainSurveys #RatsInDrains #RATTRAXS #RodentControl #PestManagement #Drainage #NonReturnValve #CCTVDrainInspection #UKPestControlPest Perspectives Podcast is a UK pest control podcast hosted by Shaun Muller of Oakham Pest Control Ltd.
