Rat Guards

Rat Guards

Rat guards are devices designed to prevent rodents, particularly rats, from climbing up structures such as poles, pipes, or cables. They are commonly used in urban and rural settings to protect infrastructure, buildings, and outdoor equipment from rodent damage and intrusion. Rat guards typically consist of cylindrical or cone-shaped barriers made of metal or plastic that are installed around the base of poles or other vertical surfaces. These barriers feature a smooth and slippery surface that prevents rats from gaining a foothold and climbing upwards. By effectively blocking access, rat guards help deter rodents from entering sensitive areas or causing damage to electrical wires, plumbing systems, and other structures. They are often employed in various locations, including utility poles, streetlights, fences, and storage areas. Rat guards offer a humane and environmentally friendly solution to mitigate the risks associated with rodent infestations and protect infrastructure from potential harm.
