I know copper mesh is ideal for stuffing exterior holes/gaps on a house so mice don't get in because it doesn't rust. But no place around me sells it, and I plan to also fill holes with expansion foam.
Wouldn't it work to use regular hardware cloth or steel wool to fill holes as long as I have foam surrounding and mixed in with it? Then it wouldn't rust, right?
Or is there any source of copper mesh that is usually available locally and easy to find in regular chain stores? I thought I once read that there is some kind of copper scouring pad material or "copper wool" that you can sometimes find in the kitchen supplies section of a store ... has anyone heard of that, and if so, what stores sell it?
