FAQs For This Product

Is This Mesh Only Used For Rodent Control?

No, the 304 Stainless Steel Heavy Duty Rodent Wire Mesh is not exclusively used for rodent control. While it’s highly effective in preventing rodent intrusion, it also serves several other purposes. Its durable and resistant nature makes it ideal for various uses in industrial, agricultural, and residential settings.

It can be used in ventilation systems for airflow control and filtration, in outdoor garden areas for plant protection, and as a safety barrier in various constructions. Additionally, its resistance to corrosion makes it suitable for use in outdoor and harsh environments.

It is one of the most commonly used mesh specifications for filtration.

Can The 0.56mm Wire Thickness Withstand Aggressive Gnawing From Large Rodents?

Yes, the 0.56mm wire thickness in the 304 Stainless Steel Heavy Duty Rodent Wire Mesh is designed to withstand aggressive gnawing from large rodents. Stainless steel is a particularly robust material and is often used in rodent mesh due to its superior strength and resistance to damage.

However, the effectiveness of the mesh in preventing rodent entry is not solely determined by the wire thickness. The hole size and the overall quality of the stainless steel used are also crucial factors.

In this case, the 1.98mm hole size is small enough to prevent entry from all but the smallest rodents. The use of 304-grade stainless steel, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and strength, further adds to the mesh’s durability.

Of course, the mesh’s effectiveness will also depend on the proper installation and maintenance. If the mesh is not securely fitted, rodents might find a way around it, and over time, without proper maintenance, even the sturdiest materials can degrade.

Does The 10 LPI Density Of The Rodent Wire Mesh Influence Its Ventilation Properties?

Can 2mm Hole Size Limit Small Insect Intrusion?

A 2mm hole size can effectively limit the intrusion of larger insects and rodents, but it may not be small enough to prevent entry from very small insects. For instance, mosquitos and other tiny insects can potentially pass through a 2mm opening. Therefore, while it is suitable for blocking rodents and larger insects, for comprehensive protection against all insect sizes, a mesh with a smaller hole size would be needed.

We suggest a hole size of 1mm to be the best option for insect control.
