rodent proof foam sealant

Help — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 14:07:13 +0000

Hello

Does your company have a foam product that can be used to fill holes and will keep mice from chewing through it?

Thanks.

We do. For small jobs, the BLACK FOAM is the most common professional product used. The 16 oz can comes with it's own hose so it's ready for use and good for small jobs. The larger 32 oz can must be used with a FOAM GUN.

The maximum strength FOAM REPELLENT product works the same way but also has a "built in" repellent flavor making it stronger. It can only be used with a application gun like the one listed below.

attic fire caused by rodents

Firefighters say rodents may be the reason a fire broke out Thursday morning in Chico. The fire was called in by a neighbor around 7:45 AM after they saw smoke and flames coming from the upper level of the home. The resident told firefighters he heard a scurrying noise in the attic a few hours earlier, around 1:30 in the morning, and then the power went out. Roof rats, squirrels and mice will commonly chew power lines so it wouldn't be a surprise if they indirectly caused a short.

The homeowner apparently didn't realize the danger and just reset the circuit breaker. About 6 hours later the fire broke out. You can read the full the story here:

ATTIC FIRE CAUSED BY RODENTS?

In fact, rodents regularly chew on pipes, wires and just about anything attempting to grind down their teeth. As explained in our ROOF RAT CONTROL article, they do this instinctively. This is just one more reason why roof rats should not be tolerated in or around the home. Be sure to trap out local populations if you find them in or on your house using one of the methods detailed in our article.
