Vermin control in a new electrical Installation-Old large house

Billy Boy
Hi 

I would like to know if anyone has had the experience to install an electrical installation designed for Vermin control, ie rats, mice, Glis Glis,  etc

We are looking to take on a large house refurb in the country and part of the design spec is to carry out an installation that will protect against Vermin.

So would we be looking at a twin and earth system, or a complete screwed conduit system?

to be clear it is an old house with large old joists so a conduit system would be very hard and expensive.

Is there a risk assessment for such installations? and is there a wiring spec or IET guidance?


Thanks in advance


Billy

    Has anyone had experience of using frequency emitting devices designed specifically for discouraging mice and rats?



    The ultrasonic plug-in type things?


    I put a couple in my cellar after spotting some slight mouse damage - they seemed to do the trick (although absence of evidence isn't necessarily evidence of absence of course).
