The process of rodent proofing is one of a series of steps you should take to ensure the safety of your building against rats, mice, or squirrels. Rodent infestations may lead to serious consequences, including the spread of disease and deterioration of hygiene.
By blocking off potential entry points, rodents can be prevented from entering. You should use a rodent proof sealant or wire mesh to block off possible entry points. Rodent proof wire mesh is a low-cost product that can be effectively utilised by both professionals and individuals.
If rats or mice wish to gain access to almost any environment in the home, this type of stainless steel is the ideal choice.

What Are These Rodent Mesh Specifications?
This wire mesh is fairly strong, however it is pretty each to cut and bend by hand.
The specifications for the 2mm hole mesh are as follows:
- Holes / Wires Per Linear Inch = 10
- Holes / Wires Per Square Inch = 100
- Wire Thickness = 0.56mm
- Hole Size / Aperture = 1.98mm
- Open Area % = 60.77%
- Cut With – Cut this product to size by using kitchen scissors or tin snips
The specifications for the 1mm hole mesh are as follows:
- Holes / Wires Per Linear Inch = 16
- Holes / Wires Per Square Inch = 256
- Wire Thickness = 0.4mm
- Hole Size / Aperture = 1.19mm
- Open Area % = 55.96%
- Cut With – We suggest that you use scissors to cut this to the size that you require
This is the standard heavy duty mesh specification that we use for rodent / airbrick applications, because the mesh has the ideal hole to wire ratio for the task.
Anyone who requires a course mesh for any application may find it of interest. Due to this flexibility, you would be able to bend this mesh by hand very easily. Once bent it would hold its shape as the wire used to make the mesh is strong yet light. Therefore the finished structure is malleable, and suitable for bending into place as required.
Is Rodent Mesh Flexible?
Despite its strength, the stainless steel mesh has a degree of flexibility and can be bent or shaped as needed, within reason.
How Rodent Proof Is Rodent Proof Mesh?
Rodent proof mesh, as the name implies, is designed to provide a physical barrier against rodents. This is an important tool for preventing pests from accessing certain areas, especially where food or shelter may be available.
1mm Hole Stainless Steel Woven Mesh: A 1mm hole size is generally considered effective at excluding even the smallest of rodent pests. Mice, for instance, can squeeze through incredibly small gaps. It is possible to create a barrier that allows air and light to pass through, while keeping out small pests by using a mesh with 1mm holes. The stainless steel material enhances its durability and effectiveness. The material resists gnawing, which is important since rodents can chew through many softer materials. Furthermore, stainless steel is resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring that it maintains its integrity even when exposed to the elements over long periods.
2mm Hole Stainless Steel Woven Mesh: A 2mm hole size, while still effective against larger rodents such as adult rats, might not be small enough to keep out juvenile rats or mice, which can pass through gaps just a bit larger than a pencil’s diameter. It is therefore recommended to use it when larger rodents or other small pests are the main concern. The 2mm stainless steel woven mesh provides high resistance to gnawing and environmental factors, just like the 1mm mesh.
In conclusion, the “rodent proof” effectiveness of the mesh significantly depends on the size of the pests you aim to exclude. Both stainless steel woven meshes with 1mm and 2mm holes provide robust barriers against rodents, with the 1mm mesh more suitable for smaller rodents like mice, and the 2mm mesh for larger rodents like rats. It is always best to use physical barriers such as these in conjunction with other pest management practices.
