Protect Your Electric Car Charging Point From Rodents With RatMat Electrified Flooring
The number of rodents has surged during lockdown. With a change in priorities and financial burdens, businesses have diverted time and funds away from pest control. As a result, people are seeing increasing levels of damage to property. Electric cars and their infrastructure are particularly vulnerable. Hammer Technologies has seen a surge in enquiries for owners experiencing damage to electric cars such as Teslas. Managing Director Dr Toby Bateson was interviewed by the New York Post around this issue only last week.
As charging points become more ubiquitous, they too are becoming more prone to be damaged. These are a critical part of transport infrastructure which we are becoming more reliant on. They are often situated in areas such as car parks where footfall is low. This means that there are long periods with no human activity and there is plenty of time for a rat to gnaw away at the cables, undisturbed. Damage could be severe and result in failure of the unit.
Simply Put A Perimeter Of RatMat Around Whatever Needs Protecting
By putting a perimeter of RatMat Electrified Rodent Repellent Flooring Tiles around the system you can protect your electric car charging point from rodents permanently. In trials, we found that the system was 100% effective at protecting property in areas where rodent activity was very high. It works like an electric fence on the floor to humanely repel rodents without harming them. The system can be walked on and driven on without any problem but rodents simply won't walk on it. The tiles are hard wearing and we expect them to last more than 10 years. This means that the system is cost-effective as well as humane and environmentally responsible. We have won several awards for our unique product; please see the link in the banner above. Contact us for pricing and bespoke solutions.

Humans have been using poisons and traps for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, the problem is getting worse, indicating that these measures are not effective. The rate at which mice and rats multiply mean that it's not possible to keep up. Often, if you kill a rat or mouse another will see the empty niche and will quickly take its place; damage will continue. Rodents chew hard materials such as electric car charging cables to wear their teeth down as they keep growing through their lives. Unfortunately this can lead to thousands of pounds worth of damage to peoples property. RatMat is the most reliable and convenient way to protect your electric car charging points and rats and mice.
