Review: 6 stars! - If I could rate these a 6, I would! Absolute life-savers! I had concerns about rats using the drainage system as a route/pathway, fortunately I had never spotted one in there, but there was evidence - these provide peace of mind and confidence that I will not be visited by a furry friend in the bathroom. They fit well - occassionally the one installed at an angle gets blocked, however regular drain maintenence is required anyway so it does not cause any addition inconvenience.
Review: Sceptical but it works, for smells at least. - We don't have a rodent problem but did have an occasional smell issue coming up from the main drain in our back garden so thought I'd give this a try. 2 minutes to fit and several months on it has solved the issue completely. Can't vouch for its effectiveness against rats but it's certainly solved our smelly problem.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not half as bad as I thought….
*by P***Y on 20 November 2023*

Now I have yet to fit this…. But a few things not mentioned in the advert. Yes the flap is plastic…..but it is actually infused with metal mesh! Not the grade that rats cannot deal with but certainly enough to slow them down. The rubber seal is actually a very soft rubber, almost silicone in texture so very easy to fit but as some have mentioned, maybe a bit loose too. The spring on the flap is actually quite strong…to the point that I am a little concerned….but certainly not weak at all. I’m not sure how much force a turd on its way down a sewer produces, but I think there is a limit on the force you would want the spring to have. I will advise once more once installed but initial signs are good. It is a shame it is as expensive as it is - it’s really not necessary and I have a £39 proper metal unit on order….but this will do for now Update. Just installed…..took 3minutes and installed on a curved entrance. Just had a poop come through and all clear working well :)
