How to Block Mice & Pests
Keep mice and other pests outside where they belong with Mouse Shield Foam Sealant + Blocker and Barrier Gun and Straw Foam. Mouse Shield is specially treated to block mice, birds, bats, tree squirrels and other pests. Use it to fill gaps and cracks inside your garage, attic, crawl space, basement, under sinks, around pipe/electrical penetrations or any areas where pests, insects or drafts can enter your home and living spaces.
Location: Building Envelope Plumbing / Electrical
Rough cut openings around pipes, hoses and electrical boxes can be gateways for mice and other pests to enter your home. Spray a bead of Mouse Shield around rough cut openings that surround pipes, hoses and electrical boxes to block out mice and pests.
Location: Baseboards
Openings under finished baseboards and unfinished junctions where walls and floors meet can aid the movement of mice and pets. Fill these openings with Mouse Shield or Barrier Straw or Gun Foam to block pests and drafts. Fill gaps where walls meet floors with Mouse Shield, trimming away excess foam. For finished baseboards, remove baseboard panel and fill gaps in floor. Mouse Shield can be trimmed and painted to match up to finished areas.
Location: Basements, HVAC, Sill Plates, Joists
Unfinished basements are prime areas for mice and pest invasions. Gaps where joists meet walls, rough cuts by HVAC and other penetrations can be a catalyst for mice and pest infestations. Fill the gaps around HVAC and other penetrations with Mouse Shield or Barrier Straw or Gun Foam. It can be trimmed flush with walls and around HVAC, pipes, etc.
Location: Basements - Attics - Hatches, Floors and Walls
Attics may have small rough cut openings in the corners of the house and at wall junctions that make it east for mice and pests to enter your home. Apply a bead of Mouse Shield or Barrier Straw or Gun Foam around the perimeter of the base of your attic hatch as well as where the hatch meets the floor. Fill any rough cut openings at wall junctions, and other obvious areas.
Location: Garage
Both unfinished and finished garages may contain gaps where the walls meet the concrete foundation. There may also be openings where two walls meet at the floor or ceiling. Apply a bead of Mouse Shield along gaps and openings found along the perimeter of where walls meet the floor. Fill any openings at wall junctions, and other obvious areas.
