Mice Destroying Pipe Insulation

[Shutpa]

Replaced the pipe insulation in the attic just about a year ago after mice chewed the original to bits. Now they have done the same to the new insulation. Have laid traps and installed ultra sonic devices to get rid of the pests but am now wondering if there is a mice proof mesh available on for example, a 50-75mm wide roll which I can wrap round the insulation on the pipes. Have googled the idea without success. Any ideas here?

You could phone up a local plumbers merchant and ask for metal pipe jackets and wrap them around your insulation, I'm not 100% sure where you would get them as we always used to have it delivered to site. Try a BSS? they are more industrial but i know they would help. All you do then is rivet it together and then its protected.

Thanks for that, I'll have a search for them.

You need to focus more on your nice problem than your pipe insulation, you may put mesh on your pipes and stop them, but they may just find something else to chew threw ( like cables ) phone your local pest control company and get It sorted professionally.
