Polyurethane foam is a common material that is used to fill the gaps between doors and walls. It is used in construction, it is used in the repair of houses, buildings, structures. Soft texture, with good thermal insulation, moisture resistant properties. Not afraid of low, high temperatures, humidity. The question remains: if the mouse bites the assembly foam.
The likes of mice
The digestive system of rats, mice is arranged in such a way that rodents do not tolerate hunger. For 3 days without food we will die. To meet natural needs, mice gnaw everything on the road regardless of whether it is edible or not.
Among the materials damaged by mice is:
- plastic
- burlap
- paper
- paperboard
- polyethylene
- plastic foam and its derivatives
- plastic
- Rubber
- bricks
Another reason why animals constantly gnaw something is a special structure of the mouse rather their teeth. The incisors, which are arranged in pairs in both jaws, grow throughout life. If the animal does not constantly grind them, it will not close its mouth.
What is the attractive polyurethane foam?
- Foam and rodents
- Foam and rodents
The texture of the material is porous, light, soft. Animals do not cause any special difficulty to gnaw it. If mice eat foam, it can be said with certainty. There is nothing useful in the construction tool, nutrient for pests. Roe your mice with a different purpose.
With the onset of cold weather, rodents are approaching the human habitation. They are attracted to the heat, the abundance of food. Climb into the house through the narrowest gaps, gaps in the wall, doors, windows. If everything around you is “locked,” the animals begin to take a sample for a tooth. Everything is gnawing – brick, wood, concrete, all the materials that are at the bottom of the building.
Construction tool for installation – the easiest option for mice. The animals easily nibble the material in the dust, make the entrances, leave. Penetrate freely in the room. The polyurethane foam of mice does not save. In addition, it creates favorable conditions for its existence. The mouse construction tool is used to improve its own nest and contributes to breeding mice. Break the pieces, dragging them to a secluded place.
In the garage I closed the space between the wall and the doors so that the cold and humidity did not penetrate. In the winter, I went there to take a look, I didn’t pay much attention to anything. Spring had to work there. I noticed the following image. There was almost no mounting foam in the bottom. Place dust, sawdust, fine crumbs. During general cleaning, I found a mouse nest with pieces of money. I helped them with a building material.
Bitter building material does not gnaw mice, cockroaches and other harmful creatures. Feeling an unpleasant taste in the mouth, the animals abandon the idea and stop gnawing unknown material.
There is no such tool in the national market, but something similar can be done. Use a solution of denatonium benzoate. The substance has a bitter taste, does not lose its properties on the treated surface for a long time. It means that it is possible to spray rigid and used polyurethane foam.
