Since 2006, we have worked closely with drainage engineers and pest control officers throughout the country. We have developed products, tools, and software with one purpose: to make the installation and service of rat blockers as efficient, safe, and simple as possible.
Installation directly from the surface
With rat blockers from Nordisk Innovation, you get a Danish-produced, high-quality solution that has been tested in over 300,000 installations – and which effectively keeps rats out of the sewer.
Our rat blocker is designed for quick and safe installation – and in the vast majority of cases, it can be installed directly from the surface with our specially designed tools.
NOTE: Access to the manhole cover is essential. It may sometimes be necessary to advise the client to modify the access point to ensure easier future access for maintenance and servicing.
If there are visible signs of rats, action must be taken quickly and in cooperation with the building owner. The rats will usually leave the sewer system shortly after installation, but in some cases it may be necessary to supplement with traps.
We always recommend TV inspection if there is suspicion of damage caused by rats.
Find the right rat blocker
Before installation, make sure you’re using the right model. This requires that you know:
- The inner diameter of the pipe
- Whether the tube is sock-lined or not
- Is there a corrugated pipe fitted in the manhole
- Is the manhole a type Tegra or Pipelife?
We have a solution for the vast majority of manholes, pipe material types and sizes – you can easily choose the correct model.
Use the right tool
To achieve a correct and safe installation, we recommend:
- Wolf-Garten telescopic pole (220-400 cm)
- Mounting head and control tools
This allows for installation from the ground and ensures free flow after installation. For occasional tasks, we also offer fixed mounting rods as a more affordable solution.
Remember service and create a great business
We recommend that the rat blocker is serviced at least once a year. In buildings with a high load (e.g. schools or industrial kitchens), service should be carried out 3–4 times a year – especially if the barrier is installed immediately after a grease trap.
A properly installed and regularly serviced rat blocker has a very low risk of failure. The service typically involves:
- Dismantling
- Cleaning
- Visual inspection
- Reassembly and functional testing
Always consider service when you submit a quote – it is both an advantage for the customer and a great business for you as a drainage engineer or pest control officer.
Spare parts and upgrades
With proper installation and service, our rat blocker lasts for many years. However, damage can occur – typically in connection with sewer flushing or in the event of strong backflow from the main pipe. That is why we offer:
- Dampers as spare parts for all models
- Ability to upgrade older models with the patented LOCK system for added rat protection
FAQ: Installation
FAQ: Service
Hvis rottespærren er monteret korrekt og derefter serviceret løbende, går den yderst sjældent i stykker. Det sker som regel kun, hvis kloakken bliver spulet uden at spærren afmonteres først.
Har du installeret en spærre i en bygning, der huser mange personer (fx en skole eller et hospital), anbefaler vi dog en hyppigere frekvens med 3-4 årlige servicebesøg. Det samme gælder for rottespærrer, der er monteret lige efter en fedtudskiller.
FAQ: Stoppet kloak
Kloakmesteren har desuden ansvar for at servicere spærren. Hvis serviceaftalen ikke er overholdt, hæfter kloakmesteren for omkostningerne. Stopper kloakken til på grund af fremmedlegemer, er det derimod bygningsejeren, der skal dække omkostningerne.
