Skadedjursbegränsare i horisontella avloppsrör

Sammanfattning

The purpose with this project was to invent a product that secures buildings sewer

systems against rats. The problem was presented to us by a local building maintainer in

Halmstad, who had experienced big problems with rats in his real estate. The project has

been carried out by Per Johansson, Robert Lidén and Niclas Nilsson under our own

auspices. We are primarily sponsored by AMLI Business Partner but also by

Innvationsgruppen, Halmstad Fastighets AB and Anticimex.

To be able to secure a whole building with only one product we came to the conclusion

that the product must be placed in the horizontal sewer pipe that connects with the

municipal sewer system. Our goal was to invent a product that prevent rats from passing

and at the same time not affect the water flow. We have succeeded in meeting our goal

and can in this report present a well functioning product named RatStop.

We have confirmed the market and can see a high potential in the product. The problem

is big in Sweden and enormous worldwide. The project group has to find sponsors for

production, marketing and further development of complementing concepts. Therefore

we now search for business partners.

We have used dynamic product development and all the tools combined with it during the

development. Especially meetings with competent persons have given us much, like

insight in the market, facts in different subjects and feedback on our idea and product.

We have learned a lot and we will benefit from this in the future. We believe in our

product and we will continue to work with it under the newly started company, Ratcon.

Hopefully our product will be available on the market within a year.
