The Ratflap supplied and fitted As seen on tv! Provides a permanent, simple and cheap solution to the worldwide problem of rats in sewers. This device prevents rats from moving from the main sewer into the pipes servicing your property. The Ratflap will stop these rats from breaking out of a damaged pipe underground, avoiding the need to dig the pipe up to find the problem, which may have given them access to your building or surrounding property. With the Ratflap installed into the pipe, waste is free to move in the normal manner through the device, while at the same time preventing rats gaining entry to your property. Odour & Vermin Elimination If you have rats in your house, walls, loft or sub-floor and regular rat control techniques are not solving the problem, we can help. 6 | TH E LO CAL NEWS

A WONDERFUL set of gadgets and booklets, available free, will give you a warmer home — and cut your heating bills. Best of all, you can borrow this useful kit, in a handy carrying case, from your local library from mid-March onwards. Lord Mayor Críona Ní Dhálaigh will officially launch the Codema Home Energy Saving Kit in Pearse Street Library, Tuesday March 15, at 11:00am. Amongst the ingenious devices you’ll be able to borrow, your kit will include: • a plug-in energy monitor, a thermal leak detector, a stopwatch, a fridge freezer ther- mometer, a temperature and humidity meter, a thermal leak detector. Also included will be a booklet to show you how to use all the above devices. In some cases — as for example with the thermal leak detector – the kit will point you towards simple, low-to-no-cost DIY additions. A curtain here or a draught excluder there may be all you’ll need to raise room temperatures, or feel more cosy in the bedroom. However, using this device, plus for example the temperature and humidity meter, you might be inspired to carry out more ambitious work. The obvious route to huge savings – and a much warmer home – is significant internal or external insulation. There, the publisher Codema (Dublin’s Energy Agency) will be able to point you towards the advice and substantial cash grants that are available. For more information see codema.ie, or attend the launch in Pearse Street Library Thank you for all your support on Tuesday March 15, at 11:00am. Light refreshments will be served.
