These products are made from a stainless steel welded mesh, providing a good level of protection against chewing and scratching. They are also available with plastic and stainless steel surrounds, with the latter particularly good for repelling rats. Mice can fit through surprisingly small spaces. As such, we recommend mesh that has a hole size no greater than 6 mm x 6 mm. As a general rule of thumb, if you can get a biro through a hole a mouse can fit through too. If you’re not looking to stop rats and mice are the only concern then our galvanised mouse mesh will likely do the job. This can be bought in our online shop here. Mouse mesh should always have a maximum hole size of 6 mm x 6mm. Installing rodent-proof soffit mesh can be an effective way to prevent rodents and other pests from entering your attic, basement or roof space. Here are the steps to follow for installation: Wide range of products: We are known for offering a wide range of products, including mesh, fencing, netting, and other related products.

Galvanized hardware cloth is modestly priced, adaptable, resistant to corrosion, long-lasting, and extremely versatile. Galvanization is achieved by processing iron or steel through electrolytic reactions or by dipping the material into molten zinc, which creates a strong protective coating. According to the NPS Rodent Exclusion Manual , it’s the best material for rat and rodent control. Due to its heavy zinc coating, this solid material has a longer lifespan than standard steel mesh and will last for 10 to 20 years. Stainless steel wire meshis a harder material than mild steel and galvanised steel, so this is sometimes a preferred option for rat and mesh protection in office and factory environments The Mesh Company woven stainless steel mesh offers a high level of protection against corrosion. Moreover stainless steel is an alloy which is highly resistant to rusting and is therefore longer lasting than most other wire mesh types. We continue to extend our range, and now proudly offer many forms of mesh and metal products for the best possible prices. We specialise in woven wire mesh. As a group we work closely with architects and designers to develop ground-breaking new applications for our multifunctional range of materials. We also offer state of the art fabrication and engineering for projects of all sizes.The Mesh Company Rodent Mesh is designed to prevent rats, mice and squirrels from entering structures and buildings. The complex control process of rodent proofing is an important step in making your building clear of rats, mice or squirrels. Rodent infestations can lead to serious consequences, spread disease and lead to a deterioration in hygiene. When installing wire mesh to prevent rats, it is important to make sure that the mesh is securely attached to the surface and that there are no gaps or openings that would allow the rats to access the area. Additionally, the mesh should be placed on the inside of the structure, as rats are more likely to chew through mesh that is on the outside. Wrapping a rat cage in mesh can help prevent rats and mice from escaping and keep them safe from predators. Here’s how to wrap a rat cage in mesh: Always try to eliminate previous infestations before using a rodent deterrent. Otherwise existing problems will simply be moved to a different point of the location in question. The grade of stainless steel that we use for these rolls is standard grade 304 stainless steel. This is the industry standard grade of stainless steel that is used in the woven mesh industry. It is long lasting and, equally importantly, it provides very good corrosion resistance.

Prepare the surface: Clean the surface thoroughly and make any necessary repairs. This will ensure that the mesh adheres properly and provides a secure barrier against rodents. Below, we have outlined the properties of some commonly employed meshes. These include mesh to prevent the passage of rodents (both rats and mice), insects (including specifically midges) and for use in beekeeping applications. Of note, much of the information below has been advised to us by the British Pest Control Association (BPCA). Rodent Mesh (rats and mice) Rats are known to be skilled climbers, and they may be able to climb wire mesh under certain circumstances. However, the ability of rats to climb wire mesh will depend on several factors, including the size of the mesh, the strength of the wire, and the texture and shape of the surface the mesh is attached to.This mesh requires heavy-duty scissors or tin snips. It can be affixed with silicone adhesive or self tapping screws. Why Choose The Mesh Company? Welded stainless wire mesh is known for being durable, versatile, and highly resilient in many different environments and temperatures. The consistent and sturdy product is manufactured through resistance welding without the use of filler metals. The finished material is not prone to rust or abrasion, making it a dependable choice for rat control and general rodent-proofing for homes and gardens as well as farming structures and equipment.

When it comes to selecting the best rodent mesh material, there are several options to choose from. Here are some of the most commonly used materials for rodent mesh, along with their advantages and disadvantages: Rats are capable of chewing through many materials, including some types of metal mesh. However, galvanised metal mesh can be a more difficult material for rats to chew through than other materials such as plastic or wood. One of the advantages of galvanised rat mesh is that it is relatively affordable and easy to work with, making it a popular choice for DIY projects. It is also durable and can withstand exposure to harsh weather conditions, making it suitable for use in outdoor areas. Why Choose The Mesh Company?Furthermore, The Mesh Company provides custom sizing, bespoke cutting, and slitting services in addition to its extensive selection of pre-cut metal screens. square mesh provides an effective barrier to rats, but is also ideal to prevent mice as they cannot fit through a hole that small. Installation fixings not included but we generally recommend using either a strong silicone adhesive or self-tapping screws, subject to the requirement.
