Copper Stuf-fit is a unique exlusion material that prevents pesky rodents from entering your home or office building. The Copper Stuffit is a copper mesh wool material that is rust-proof and stain-proof. Stuff it into openings around pipes or other holes and cracks in the structure and keep rats, mice, birds and other wildlife out. Because of the way the mesh is woven, it is very difficult for rodents to chew through it. Stuf-fit works best in holes and cracks around 2 inches in diameter. Larger holes should be repaired and sealed permanently. Each roll is 6 inches wide, double folded and comes in either 20 ft. or 100 ft. long rolls.

Smart product. Inspector Approved!

Copper mesh is clean and easy to work with. I've run my own home inspection business for 12 years. This is a big step up from stuffing steel wool in holes only to see it rust away in a few years and stain. Just be sure as with all copper, that it doesn't come in direct contact with galvanized metal flashings or pipes.

Not One Mouse Since Installing Mesh

100' is too much?
By Frank on 07/24/2011
I guess my house is smaller than I thought. I ordered 100' roll of STUF-FIT knowing I'd have some left, but I used less than half. I don't know if I didn't "STUF-FIT" too tight or too loose. Instructions (next time) might help. I must have put enough into the weep holes though because the spiders and other crawlies haven't found their way in yet. Cuts easy. Packs easy, too. Overall, well pleased. If I was a nice guy, I'd offer to do my neighbors' houses with the leftovers, but I'm not.

Clever idea

A 20 ft roll of the Stuf-Fit Copper Mesh weighs approximately 0.50 lb.
Can Stuf-Fit be safely used in openings around wires. I'm concerned about the electrical movement in the copper wire causing electrical movement in the copper mesh (and vice versa). Could this produce heat or some other problem?
The STUF-FIT Copper Mesh is meant to block small holes, gaps or openings that are 2 inches or less according to the manufacturer. The use you are describing would be considered and “off label” use and not one that would be appropriate for this product.
Yes, STUF-FIT Copper Mesh can be used around copper water pipes to prevent rodent activity.
Stuf-Fit works best in holes and cracks around 2 inches in diameter. Stuf-Fit can be tacked, stapled or glued into any openings where it is needed Larger holes should be repaired and sealed permanently. Each roll is 6 inches wide, double folded and comes in either 20 ft. or 100 ft. long rolls.What is the best way to attach it? I plan on wrapping the mesh around the condensers at ground level.
Do I install the copper mesh while it's still tacky, or when it's dry? I heard that you apply spray foam, then copper mesh, then sealant.
We recommend adding a little foam in the hole/gap, then shoving the STUF-FIT Copper Mesh into the hole/gap areas to imbed the copper mesh into the foam. Once you’ve completed filled the gap/hole with desired amount of copper mesh, follow up with adding addtional foam around and infront of the mesh to completely fill the gap.

I googled how to protect squirrels from hawks. I had some trees removed from my property and now I have two hawks that are leaving scars on all the squirrels I've been feeding. I'm just looking for a way to protect the squirrels that I feared from these hawks.
We would recommend contacting a local Wildlife Expert for information on how to protect squirrels.
Stuf-Fit Copper Mesh would not be small or fine enough to keep sewer roaches out of an area. If they are coming into the home from city sewer lines, you will want to reach out to your local county officials to see what steps are being taken to control them on the city/county level. You can always safely use a product like Nibor-D to mix with water and flush down toilets and drains as it is a natural product and will coat the food and debris the roaches are feeding on. You can also do this if you have a septic tank. If the roaches are already infesting the home and you need to eliminate them, we would recommend going with one of our Roach Control Kits. You can see how to use the kits by following our guide on How to Treat for Roaches, which includes step by step instructions as well as videos.

STUF-FIT Copper Mesh will not deter Woodpeckers. Most of the time woodpeckers are attacking your home because it is finding food under your siding, or insects. Sometimes applying a liquid insecticide, like our Talstar product in the area where the bird is doing damage, will kill any pests behind the siding and therefore if there is no more food, the bird will go elsewhere. You can try other non-spraying methods by placing reflective tape in the area or a fake owl or other bird of prey to deter the woodpecker.

We have a hole from the garage coming into the living room, containing a power cable from our surge protector, HDMI and ether-net cable. The cables go to our mounted TV in the living room. Can I use copper mesh to stuff the hole? Is there an issue with the mesh being around these cables?
Yes, STUF-FIT Copper Mesh can safely be used in this type of area.

Simply, stuff it into openings around pipes or other holes and cracks in the structure to keep rats, mice, birds and other wildlife out. STUF-FIT Copper Mesh works best in holes 2" or less in diameter. Larger holes should be sealed permanently. You can easily cut the Stuf-Fit Copper Mesh with a pair of scissors to fit any sized opening.

STUF-FIT Copper Mesh works best in holes and cracks around 2 inches in diameter in door areas such as in the attic wall around copper pipes.
The only way to take care of squirrels is to repel them or trap them. Please review our Squirrel control page.

STUF-FIT Copper Mesh is intended to be stuffed into small holes, and then it is usually sealed with a hard filler such as expansion foam. It is not recommended for use as a wrap on trees.
The rats appear to be getting in under new roof shingles. The soffits are in great shape with no holes at all. How should I install?
STUF-FIT Copper Mesh would be used to fill in any openings/gaps where you think the rats may be getting in. Any crack, gap or hole that is ¼” or larger needs to be repaired. Here is an article with some helpful information on rodent proofing your home.
