Anti-vermin caulking
In short: pest-resistant caulking consists of identifying and sealing the entry points through which rodents and insects enter a building. A mouse squeezes through an opening of barely 6 mm. Blocking these accesses with gnawing resistant materials is the most effective preventive measure, and the only one that permanently prevents reinfestation after an extermination of mice or rats.
As CAA-Quebec reminds us, sealing all exterior openings, even the smallest ones, with wire mesh and expanding foam is one of the essential steps to keep rodents out. This is the role of our specialized rodent control work, in addition to rodent control and insect extermination.
