Roshield Pest Proofing Air Brick Mesh Vent Cover x 4
Product description
This compact air brick mesh vent cover keeps common pests out of wall cavities while preserving ventilation for homes. The Roshield product blocks mice and a range of flying and crawling insects, helping to prevent new infestations and protect internal spaces.
Key Points
The vent combines a robust stainless steel mesh with an outer plastic frame to stop rodents and insects from entering air bricks. Installation is straightforward and can be completed with basic DIY tools, either permanently with adhesive or using the supplied screws and wall plugs. The design includes an adhesive track around the outer edge to aid fast fitting and to increase the contact area for a stronger bond to masonry surfaces.

Benefits
The stainless steel mesh offers a corrosion-resistant barrier that still permits airflow, meaning ventilation is maintained while unwanted pests are excluded. Because the frames are formed from recycled plastics reclaimed from items like car bumpers and dashboards, the vents reflect an effort to reduce production waste and reuse existing materials. Installation flexibility is useful. You can choose a permanent adhesive application for a neat finish or screw the vents in if you prefer a more mechanical fixing. For households concerned about recurring rodent activity, these vents act as a preventative measure that reduces the chance of pests accessing cavity spaces.
Usage Recommendations
Before attaching with adhesive, ensure the masonry surface is clean, dry and free from loose mortar to maximise adhesion. For solid walls, use the supplied screws and plugs to secure the vent, driving screws gently to avoid cracking the frame. Consider placing vents in a pattern that maintains consistent airflow while covering likely entry points. Note that for extreme rodent pressure, professional pest control measures may also be necessary according to the manufacturer. 🐭🪲.
