PowerShield is an electronic rodent prevention system that helps keep rats and mice out at the point of entry - no poison, no baiting, no chemicals. A flush-fitted rail emits a safe, low-energy electronic pulse that deters rodents from crossing a protected threshold, so it works to stop infestations taking hold in the first place. It is exclusive to our group in the UK, and JG Pest Control installs it as part of the Tyro group, drawing on patented technology developed by our Norwegian sister company PELIAS.
Key takeaways
- PowerShield is a prevention system - it deters rodents at the entry point, rather than treating an infestation after it takes hold.
- It uses a safe, low-energy electronic pulse at doorways, loading bays and entry points - no poison, no chemicals.
- The rail is high-strength steel, fitted flush with the floor, so it withstands vehicle traffic and creates no trip hazard.
- Ideal for warehouses, food handling facilities, logistics hubs and industrial units where baiting is not viable.
- Exclusive to our group in the UK, with patented technology - available through JG Pest Control as part of the Tyro group.
How PowerShield works
Rodents get into commercial buildings through the openings that have to stay usable - roller shutters, loading bays, warehouse doors and delivery entrances. Baiting and trapping deal with rodents once they are inside; PowerShield stops them getting in. The rail is set into the threshold and emits a low-energy electronic pulse that deters rodents from crossing, forming a barrier exactly where they would otherwise enter. It is safe for people and for the vehicles that drive over it, and it is a low-maintenance solution.
Why prevention beats treatment for business premises
For a food handling facility, logistics hub or industrial unit, a rodent sighting can mean an audit problem and a reputational risk, not just a pest one. Traditional rodenticide baiting is a reactive measure by design - it works once rodents are already present - and its use around food is increasingly restricted under UK guidance. PowerShield takes a preventative approach, deterring rodents at the vulnerable entry points before they get in. It is chemical-free and non-toxic, which suits sites where baiting is less suitable, and it works well alongside a documented pest management programme.
Where PowerShield is used
PowerShield is designed for high-risk commercial entry points: warehouse and distribution centre doors, loading bays, food production and cold-store entrances, industrial unit shutters, and any threshold where vehicles and rodents share the same opening. It is one of the proofing options we can include when we survey commercial premises - see our commercial pest control service, or our rat and rodent control for the wider picture.
PowerShield: your questions answered
PowerShield is an electronic rodent prevention system: a flush-fitted steel rail that emits a safe, low-energy electronic pulse to stop rats and mice crossing a protected threshold. It prevents rodents entering a building rather than treating an infestation after it takes hold, and it is chemical-free and non-toxic.
Yes. The pulse is low-energy and poses no harm to people, and the rail is built from high-strength steel that withstands vehicle traffic while sitting flush with the floor, so there is no trip hazard.
PowerShield is exclusive to our group in the UK and uses patented technology. JG Pest Control installs it as part of the Tyro group, so businesses can access it through us alongside our wider commercial pest control service.
It is designed for commercial entry points where baiting is not viable or ideal - warehouses, loading bays, food handling facilities, logistics hubs and industrial units - protecting the doorways and shutters rodents use to get in.
