Patent attributes
A rodent protection insert for a structure opening including a flexible polymer foam sheet having a protective mesh sheet carried on a front side which moves independently of the foam sheet. A securing member maintains a mechanical connection between the flexible polymer foam sheet and the mesh sheet. An airflow port is disposed in the flexible polymer foam sheet that includes a removable plug for controlling airflow through the airflow port. A perimeter edge of the flexible polymer foam sheet compresses against and conforms to interior wall surfaces within a structure opening when mounted to form an airtight seal against the interior wall surfaces and hold the foam sheet in place. The protective mesh sheet engages the interior wall surfaces when the flexible polymer foam sheet is compressed in the structure opening so that the protective mesh sheet stabilizes and supports the flexible polymer foam sheet within the structure opening.
