Nope, but I've had Squirrels come down them from the roof and pack them with Walnuts!

In Arizona it is common for them to access the roof from the sewer,,,,, Once on the roof they enter mainly though "T vents" as tile is very common and these vent do not come from the factory until recently with screening........
Once inside the attic they will chew at the schedule 40 black pipe for exit, making easy reentry /exit.......
by screening the top of the soil stack you block access to the roof, but on accusation customers still will hear scratching from within inside of the pipe...... often these are wider cast were the rat can not climb the larger sized pipe
My question is,,,,,,would hot sauce down the pipe be a deterrent?

Answer: I'm just guessing here, but I think you would probably just encourage rats of a different nationality and culture.

I had one call were a woman had lifted the toilet seat to find a rat swimming around in the bowl, she was like a screaming banshee when she rang, they were getting on to the roof six houses away and coming down the stink pipe for about 10 feet and then traveling along at 90 degrees to the toilet. A lot of the older buildings around us have cast iron sewer and stack pipes so they can get plenty of purchase to climb.

Hope more British help welcome. Welcome,,,, Nice to hear from someone who is dealing with the same issues....... I would think New York would also?/// We install wire fitted inside the pipe and "glued" using a lifetime sealant,,,above the roof line.... Got a video/audio text in the middle of the night from a gal that could hear them "trying" to make it up a 3" pipe...... They must be able to get some footing in the slime that accumulates on the sides,,, then when they get to the vent portion are stopped.... Is there a valve like the ones sold to install under the toilet that can be fitted in the main line?

I used a vermend rat blocker on a job, very expensive,but i tried to justify the price by telling the customer that they would not have to pay me again because the rat problem would be sorted, 6 months later a call for bad smells, on inspection sewer blocked rite at the vermend, one of the upstairs tenants had been putting baby wipes and stuff down the pan,it probably would have been allright if they had not, but you cant fix stupid.
