Just a word of thanks for the advice to run a length of string
down the inside.
Did that yesterday with 1/4" nylon rope and it seems to have
solved the problem!
That will also greatly help the rats to climb up the pipe!
for a rooftop protest about their conditions?
The rats go up the pipe to the roof and look for holes to go into.
Corrugated iron has lots of rat-sized holes especially for rats!

Tie a slip-knot every so often in the rope so the rats snare
themselves in the noose. (Use the rope to pull the bodies out when
necessary).


With a piece of cheese by each loop, so that the rats stick their heads
through to eat it.


Does the string need to go to the bottom of the drain pipe?
