DAP Products Touch ’n Foam Mouse Shield

Insulating foam is great for sealing out drafts, but not so great for keeping out mice and other pests that can chew their way through in a heartbeat. I had a problem with mice chewing through the weather stripping near the bottom of my garage door (see photo). I sprayed a glob of DAP Products’ Touch ’n Foam Mouse Shield behind each entry point last fall. It was amazing! Not one foam barrier was breached. You can get it for about $8 and up online.

Great Stuff Pestblock, another pest-deterring foam sealant, contains an ingredient that tastes bad to critters. It’s available at home centers for about $7.
