Pest & Rodent Control Applications

Wire Mesh for Rodent & Pest Control

Wire mesh is extremely effective for pest control and is a safe, non-toxic, and environmentally-friendly option. Whether you’re looking to exclude bats and bees, or snakes and squirrels, there’s a wire mesh pest control solution for you.

There are a variety of metals and weaves available that will fit your specific rodent control needs. Mesh screens for pest control are both durable and allow for visibility. However, before purchasing any mesh screen material, it’s important to be aware of some common industry terms. Understanding the terminology ensures you make an appropriate choice for your needs.

The diameter (or gauge) of wire mesh refers to wire thickness. If you’re looking to keep squirrels at bay, a 0.25 inch wire diameter could be a great choice, whereas the diameter of bee exclusion mesh can be as thin as 0.017 inches. The diameter is just one thing to consider when choosing your mesh.

Opening sizes are another consideration for pest control applications. The term opening size (also referred to as “mesh count”) refers to the number of openings in the mesh per linear inch. Naturally, determining the accurate mesh opening size is dependent on the size of the pest or rodent. For example, opening sizes for gopher, squirrel, raccoon, and possum exclusion could be as large as half an inch. Snail control mesh can have an opening size of 0.20 inches.
