Xcluder Rodent Control Fill Fabric, Large DIY Kit, Stainless Steel Wool, Stops Rats and Mice

So far, this stuff is working great! I didn't realize that there were huge gaps around the pipes under my sink and when our building started having a problem with mice, so did my unit. I couldn't figure out how the little suckers were getting in. We had an exterminator come in and he put bait stations and traps around, but he told me that he couldn't fill the gaps around the pipes and that I would have to call a contractor for that. The biggest gap was less than an inch so that seemed excessive. After some research, I found this stuff and so far, so good. You definitely need to wear the gloves so if they don't fit, get some that are bigger and have the rubber coating like these do because this stuff is evil and will get through any fabric, even the heavy canvas gloves. And the included scissors are also helpful because you need something strong to get through this stuff. But it was easy enough to cut and I pulled it apart a bit before stuffing it in the crevices around the pipes. Once you are done cutting this stuff, be sure to clean up the small bits that fall because those will hurt if you touch them or step on them or, like me, end up with them on your clothing. Tiny little shard of pain, I tell you. But that's great because it will hurt the mice if they even try to get into my place. I got a paper towel wet and used that to clean them all up. Next time, I'll put down some plastic before cutting, or cut the bits over a bag. Lesson learned.This stuff stays put and I have not heard the mice in the cupboard since. Now I just need to go around my place and find any other ways they are sneaking in. You get quite a bit of it with this size order so I have no doubt I'll be able to do my entire unit with just one package. I highly recommend this stuff if you know where the mice are getting in. I don't know if this is safe to use around copper pipes, but mine were all PVC and one was the flexible hose used for the dishwasher. Do some research before using this around copper because the building manager mentioned it when I told him about this stuff. If I find out more about that, I'll update my review. Or, if someone from the company knows and can comment, that would be great. Overall, very satisfied. I freaking hate mice.

We have an older, brick home. That means lots of nooks and crannies for critters to find their way in. We needed something to tuck in cracked or loose mortar joints so that we don't get field mice in the house or basement. I am going to get a mason to professionally repair the brick, but this is a great solution until he can get to my job. The gloves work great. As long as you keep the gloves on and make sure you are kneeling on a clean towel, you will not get any steel splinters in your hands or knees. The scissors provided aren't terrible, but they aren't great. As other reviewers noted, the provided scissors won't cut the steel wool. Well, either would my super sharp kitchen shears. (Maybe tin snips would work best?) I actually ended pulling the steel wool apart like cotton candy after the scissors made a small "starting" notch in the steel wool strip. That method worked well, but you don't get as exact of measurements. This product is great. Well made, and I was really able to stuff a lot in to keep those pesky critters out. Overall, this is more durable and much easier to use than old fashioned steel or copper mesh that you had to secure with caulk or foam.

Worked well to fill small 1” diameter foundation weep holes. Since I was installing this product in white colored limestone exterior foundation I did not want a rust issue down the line. Hopefully, this will not rust. I cut these in small 1.5 inch strips and used a screwdriver to stuff in the weep holes. The gloves provided worked great with no sticking with the metal fibers. The scissors provided were worthless. I used an old pair of shears and kept sharpening the blades every 5 cuts or so, which seemed to be fine. The cost of this product is a little high for what is provided. I was able to stuff about 50 small holes with one unit but I had more weep holes so I bought a second unit and have some left over. I don’t know if this will be a long term solution to keeping insects out of foundation weep holes and finding their way into the house. So far, they seem to be excluding insects and other small bugs.

Wonderful. Thank you.

Plugging areas where you think mice get in needs a product they can't get through, this really works.

The introductory kit included the material, gloves and scissors. The scissors proved to be useless. They stopped cutting the material half way through. Only time will tell if this holds up better than plain steel wool.

I was getting field mice crawling 2 stories into my Pennsylvania attic via the open corner channel in my 1990’s vinyl siding. I cut the material into manageable approximate 1.5 -inch by 6-inch strips with yard scissors and stuffed it into any gaps I could find between the siding and the house foundation. It took many hours using a mirror and flashlight to completely seal all potential access points around the base of the house and up to 3 feet higher where the horizontal siding met the corner molding. When my roof was re-done I had the roofers use it to seal gaps in the wood where the mice were accessing my attic because somehow on rare occasions mice still got into the attic despite my careful sealing around the base of the house.The material does not rust and is easy to stuff. It is very prickly if you are not using work gloves.

Used for my outside condenser and it worked perfectly. Mice got into the unit for a few months and did lots of damage. Put this fill fabric in and no more mice or mouse damage. Great product works as advertised.
