Valchoose 5”X 100 Ft Stainless Steel Mesh Roll, Wire Mesh for Rodent

I had gaps around the base of an old house - where the siding meets the foundation and around some of the basement windows, and under a bump-out window. I cut pieces easily with plain scissors and tucked it into any holes or gaps. It can be cut in pieces just like you imagine of course, but at one point I needed long thinner strips and I cut some strips the long way - which was easy and handy for places I didn’t need as much bulk. It’s springy nature helps it stay in place where you shove it. I found that Caulk or foam is optional - I may add some later but it was not necessary to get this stuff to stay in a hole or crack (it was too cold at that point to meet the temp range needed for foam so that wasn’t an option!). Good for when the weather gets cold and you need to keep mice from wanting to suddenly bust inside and be your roomies. So far so good: no more little creepy scratching sounds from the perimeter walls of the house at night!! UPDATE: two years later, i can report that it has all stayed firmly in place despite being just sort of shoved into place with a stick! Really helped me with the mouse issue, didn’t take too much time to do or cost much, well worth the effort. Good product. Totally glad I did this.

Great as a pest deterrent

I've tried everything (almost) to keep the squirrels off my cherry tomatoes, but their climbing, jumping and chewing abilities have foiled everything I tried. But after 10+ years battling the buggers, I've learned one important thing: they don't like to/can't chew through metal. I had the leftovers of a roll of this metal mesh I used for a repair project, and since it's formed in a tube, I decided to put a 'sock' around the cherries. It worked better than expected. It cuts easily (watch out for bits of mesh) and I simply crimped the ends. This summer, I lost zero cherry tomatoes to squirrels. Success!

Does the job. It appears to be of good quality Will see over time if it rust.

I should have purchased this long ago. I've been using regular steel wool to prevent rats in my home. The steel wool rusts, crumbles and turns to dust. This is SO much better! Yes, it makes a lot of little bits each time you cut it (I use sheet metal shears). But just be sure to cut over the trash bin or an easy place to sweep. I'd hate to track these inside the house or car. The product is easy to form and roll and affix with construction adhesive or even screws. It is great to work with, and now it feels like this will be the last time in all the places I'm putting it today!

It cuts easy and was great to plug up spots around the house where mice might enter without rusting.

Exactly what I was looking for! I have a ton of potted plants on my porch during the summer and needed something to cover the pots so squirrels wouldn’t dig in them. It’s very useful and I love that it’s flexible and bendable, so you can fold it along the sides of the pot and it stays in place really well. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time and was thrilled to finally find it on Amazon.

I use this stainless steel around the sewer vent where the pipe enters the bathroom in back of the toilet to fill in the voids. Highly recommend to keep out & a preventative measure since mice can’t chew through a thick layer of stainless steel!I I also plan on using this around my foundation sill plate to keep mice from getting in & sliding up between the old wooden shingles, thin radiant barrier insulation, and vinyl siding. Great DiYer stainless steel for multiple uses!
