> 3 dayI live in a raised house In the bayou area. It’s skirted but I found a few small areas where small critters could still get through. This mesh was easy to use and I was able to cut it with heavy duty scissors. Still had plenty to use as patching around vents and plumbing.

> 3 dayIts versatile and the recommended material rodents cannot pass or chew through. You can lay it flat (under shingles, etc) or scrunch it easily to a more barb-like, thicker barrier that stays put. You can use sealant (caulk) to adhere it to material or use inside foam to expand blockage though I have not done the latter. Does not rust like steel wool. Blocked rodents. I had to shove a second strip a couple times for thickness. Caution - cut over garbage can or.... It sheds copper pieces. A bit cheaper would be good. Needed 2 rolls so far.

> 3 dayI’m using this in my garden, wrapping the trunks of Japanese maples, camellias, & other trees to prevent snails from climbing & munching on leaves. Works great!

> 3 dayIn my situation it wasnt very effective. It is so light and pliable which of course is the way it was intended. It would slow them down for a couple if days and then theyd push or pull it back out.There was no way to keep it in place. Just my opinion.

> 3 dayThis is easy to use but no where near the quality that my professional pest control person used. It is very lightweight. I just put it in today so have no idea if it will deter rodents but was disappointed with the weight when I compared it to the product used by the professional.

05-11-2024I just installed it today as a mouse deterrent so I havent had time yet to see if it worked, but I assume there should be no problem as general research indicated mice shouldnt be able to chew through it. I liked how thin this mesh is, so its really easy to shove in between cracks and holes--I suggest using a drywall scraper to help shove it in, and then seal up the whole crack with caulk. EDIT: No new mice as of a year! So it seems to have worked.

> 3 dayI had problems with snails but now no more. Planted citrus trees lately and biggest problem are snails, they climb up in the evening and munch on those leaves, but now after wrapping copper mesh around the base trunk, eliminated my problems. No more snails and my citrus trees can grow happily and freely. Thank you.

> 3 dayI bought this because I thought it would deter slugs and snails from my plants but they dont seem to mind it at all so for me it didnt work.
