[Misc] Rodents - Rodding eye cap needed

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Before I start, this sounds like some kind of S&M thread but sadly it is about plumbing and drainage.

Anyone on here advise where I can buy a 6 to 8 inch Rodding Eye Cap? Council came around yesterday to look at a rodent problem we have. It looks like a neighbour has disturbed a nest and the rodents are now trying to get into the other properties through the drains. They advised Mrs DCH that we need to get hold of one of these things but it isn't something that they supply.

A quick internet search doesn't seem to help much as I get a mixture of caps, plugs and other things but nothing described as a Rodding Eye Cap.

Rather than have to wait for the bloke to come back, can anyone on here help?

Thanks

Have you got an open sewer pipe then?

A bigger bowl with a slug more oil will decimate your rat infestation.

You don’t need a rodding cap. Just buy a 6 inch drain bung and screw it in.

These are for in line pipe where there is no interceptor. If there is an interceptor with just the cap missing then a bung will do the job and is a lot cheaper.

Follow this advice, you do need to work out the drain diameter.
The plug you need won't be 6 to 8 inch, I've not heard of that.
A rodding eye is something that goes on a soil or waste pipe and has a removable cap, for rodding/ clearing a blockage.

Thanks to those who helped. Will get the Screwfix plug.

That happened to my house when I lived in Hollingdean.

Bloody war between me and the rats.

I won.
