Mouse Shield is a gap filler that is fast to apply and is also known as a pest-repellent mastic that once in place blocks access for vermin. The unique soft core ensures that vermin are repelled as soon as they gnaw through the outer layer of material.
Pests such as rodents and insects occur everywhere. Mice and rats in particular are true masters at gaining access to areas where potential meals are stored. Rodents have a natural tendency to sharpen their front teeth constantly on items such as woodwork, plumbing and electrical wiring.
Mouse Shield stops this gnawing behaviour. When the mouse, rat or wasp, for example, reaches the soft core as it gnaws, it is deterred from continuing.
After formation of the hard (oxygen-excluding) outer sealing layer, the mastic is completely water-resistant and has a life expectancy of 8 to 10 years. Even dirt will scarcely, if at all, adhere to the surface,. This makes the mastic ideal for inside or outside use. Mouse Shield can be used in environments with temperatures between -50° and + 90°C
The gap filler is suitable for sealing holes, cracks and seams, joints and expansion joints, settlement cracks and sewer connections. Openings can vary between 5 mm and 10 cm in diameter. Because the gap filler conforms directly to the opening, the shape and finish of the opening is not relevant, provided the surface is dry and clean. The gap filler adheres well to concrete, stucco, masonry, dry wall, plastics (such as trespa), metal and wood.
It is very easy to use the mastic. A 300 ml Mouse Shield cartridge is inserted in a caulking gun. The opening is then sealed tight with the material in the gun. Note: the layer of mastic should always be thicker than 10 mm in order to create a soft core.
