News from Mousestop – animal-friendly barrier paste

MouseStop is an animal-friendly barrier paste that has been used worldwide since 1990 to seal seams, cracks, joints and holes, preventing rodents and other pests from entering a building.

Professional and effective 
MouseStop’s effectiveness lies in its ability to prevent rodents from gnawing items such as electrical wiring and pipes which can have potentially disastrous results for building owners. Once installed, MouseStop develops a hard outer layer, but it also has a soft inner core that also deters vermin and prevents them from entering the building.

Friendly to the environment 
MouseStop is an environmentally-friendly barrier paste that is manufactured from a blend of vegetable oils, fillers and polystyrene pearls. It contains no harmful asbestos or CFCs. MouseStop works by blocking the rodent’s access.

The ecological benefits of MouseStop also make it ideal for use as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach. It helps the user to effectively and humanely manage the problem of pests without having to resort to the use of chemicals.

Perfectly suited to multiple application areas
The versatility and flexibility of MouseStop make it ideal for use in a wide range of locations. It can be effectively incorporated into both new and existing buildings and is particularly well suited to hygiene sensitive areas such as food manufacturing and processing facilities. MouseStop is also suitable for use in supermarkets and distribution centres. It is particularly useful in protecting areas where there is electrical cabling that is potentially vulnerable to rodent attack.

Quick and simple to install
Available in 300 ml cartridges, MouseStop is quick, easy and clean to install onto many surfaces. It can be applied using a standard mastic gun on cracks and gaps that are 5mm or above, so it is ideal for areas which are typically hard to reach. The product provides instant, long-lasting protection. Its water and dirt-resistant properties mean that it can be used both internally and externally. What’s more, the performance of MouseStop is unaffected by extremes of temperature, and the product can even be over-painted to match adjacent areas once the outer skin has hardened.

Watch this short video to see how easy Mousetop is to apply.
