Installation Tips :
-
Placement: Install guard approximately 5-10 feet (1.5-3m) from the dock end of the line
-
Position: Disc must be centered on rope, not touching dock or hull
-
Tighten: Secure firmly – guard should not slide
-
Inspect: Check regularly for damage or debris buildup
-
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.
