Hi All,
Have a small friends coming up through the waste water pipes into the house (from sink / washing machine gulley) from outside to inside and up the the attic after that.
Are there any covers you can buy approx 4" x 4" that can stop the little f*%&ers coming in. 3 DIY stores looked at me like I had 4 heads when I mentioned this. Would like something more professional looking than trying to make up timber boxes to cover them.

Regards,
Paul

Try looking in the gardening section

You can get a leaf excluding cover for downpipes that covers the drain and the base of the downpipe maybe one of those could be modified?

But remember any gap you can get a pencil into is big enough for a small friend to use, maybe a fine filter that you remember to clean under the drain cover would be more use?
