Installation Tips :

1. Placement: Install guard approximately 5-10 feet (1.5-3m) from the dock end of the line

2. Position: Disc must be centered on rope, not touching dock or hull

3. Tighten: Secure firmly – guard should not slide

4. Inspect: Check regularly for damage or debris buildup

5. Remove: Take down before departing to avoid loss or damage

Important: Remove rat guards before the vessel departs – leaving them on during transit can cause line damage or loss of the guard.

Why Every Vessel Needs Rat Guards:

Rats cause serious problems onboard:

• 🐭 Electrical damage – Gnawed wires = fires & system failures

• 🐭 Cargo contamination – Food, grain, and goods ruined

• 🐭 Disease transmission – Leptospirosis, hantavirus, salmonella

• 🐭 Port fines – Many ports levy heavy penalties for rodent infestations

• 🐭 Detention risk – Vessels can be quarantined or detained

A simple rat guard prevents all of this for pennies per day.
