How to prevent rats from entering large capacity wheelie bins (euro bins)?
Communal bin stores that house large capacity wheelie bins for flats or restaurants are a rat’s paradise as they provide food and shelter.
Our bin plug solves this problem by keeping the rats out. The plug pushes in from the inside of the bin downwards and fits tightly in place, it has a small 3mm hole in the centre which allows the bins to drain while still keeping access closed, preventing anything entering the bin from underneath, our plug is made from a strong rubber material and fits a 5cm diameter hole with 2mm-3mm wall thickness, once our plug is fitted there is no reason to remove it.
The original manufactures drainage hole cap at the bottom of the bins is often missing due to the poor turn in design, as it easily becomes loose and drops out. The purpose of the hole in the bin is to allow fluids to drain out, but if the hole is not re sealed afterwards using the cap it leaves the bin open for rats and other unwanted pests to access. The bin then becomes the go to place for rats to get food and shelter.
Our bin plug does not need to be removed once fitted, the reason we designed and manufactured our own plug is simply to allow the bin to drain while still keeping access closed.
