Pest Control Using Mesh or Elastomeric Caulks Applied by Professional Contractors

deally, you should never have to deal with rodents and insects making their way into your business or commercial property. Unfortunately, it’s a common occurrence as buildings age and periodic inspection and preventative maintenance are overlooked. Even though the task of plugging small, pest-sized holes in a building seems menial, it’s important. Proper sealing ensures that additional pests and accompanying annoyances such as insects, birds, bats, snakes and more, are unable to set up house in your commercial property. Often incorrect materials are used to seal these openings and the work is not properly completed. That’s why it’s important to contact the professional painting contractors at your independently owned and operated Cosanostra Painters & Remodeling LLC to handle the job for you.

How to Use Mesh to Ward-Off Pests in Your Building

Another material used to help ward off unwanted pests is mesh plugs made of copper or even steel wool. Typically used to plug holes in the wall around a plumbing fixture, these solutions are great as short-term solutions, but not outstanding as a long- term solution. That’s because like a sealant, many factors are involved that allow mesh to be a dependable solution. Things like temperature, moisture, movement of a joint and even the type of rodent or pest you’re battling will determine if mesh is an effective material.

When it comes to proper pest control using mesh or elastomeric caulks, it’s important the job is done properly the first time to ensure long-term success. It’s always best for the professionals, like those at Cosanostra Painters & Remodeling LLC, to tackle these jobs. Not only will hiring professionals save you time and money, they’ll give you peace-of-mind knowing your job was done right the first time.
