Not only are rats excellent swimmers, but they also have a compressible ribcage that allows them to squeeze into tight spaces with ease. In addition, they can hold their breath for minutes at a time. This combination allows rats to swim up through the sewers and get inside the inner workings of your toilet.

Learn More »After a long day of work, you come home, walk into your bathroom, and open your toilet seat only to find a giant, hairy rat swimming or floating in the toilet. While you could submit that in a short horror story contest (and potentially perform very well), it’s not just a shocking and unnerving thing to think about. Rats actually can come up through your toilet and invade your house. Advanced IPM has encountered these sorts of things before in California and Nevada.

But if you are worried, or if it’s something that has happened to you or your family before, there are a couple steps you can take. One simple preventative measure is to ensure your toilet lids stay closed. Though that won’t rat-proof your toilet exactly, it will prevent any rogue rats from making their way out of the toilet and into the rest of your home. Alternatively, you can install a rat guard, also called a one-way toilet flap, in your toilet. This opens towards the sewer, allowing water and waste to go through it but preventing anything from coming the other way. And, if you suspect that cracked pipes or improperly installed plumbing could be contributing, you might need to call a plumber to help you out on that front.
The short answer is - yes, uPVC doors can be painted IF it's done the right way.
