    Q
    Do rats not chew through Pur Black Foam?
    Will rats/mice burrow through? Does this foam have some sort of repellent?
    A
    Rats can indeed gnaw through just about any type of foam including the Pur Black Foam. In most cases however these pests seek the path of least resistance and will often just look for an opening. Holes 2 inches and smaller should be stuffed with Stuf-Fit Copper mesh and then filled in with Pur Black Foam. Larger holes need to be repaired using appropriate material such as fine mesh hardware cloth, steel plates or concrete patch.

    Q
    Will mice chew through Pur Black Foam?
    If I seal up under the siding around my concrete foundation, will the mice just chew their way in? The holes and spaces are too difficult to see to put copper wool in first, so what should I do?
    A
    It is possible for mice to chew their way through the foam, but it is not likely. We have never had a report from a customer that a mouse had managed to chew through the foam. That being said, we do recommend putting the Stuf-Fit Copper Mesh into the hole first and then sealing with the Pur Black Foam.

    Q
    Can Pur Black Foam be used around radiator pipes? Is it heat resistant?
    A

    Per the manufacturer, yes, Pur Black Foam (BF01) can be applied around radiator pipes. When applying this product you want to be sure the pipes are at room temperature and that you allow it to sit for a least 30 minutes after the application. While this product is not necessarily heat resistant, you do not have to be concerned about the product catching fire. Temperatures would have to reach 300 degrees in order for this product to start to decompose or become brittle.

    Q
    Does Pur Black Foam have a bitter flavoring added to it to discourage mice from chewing? If not, what makes this foam mouse resistant?

    Pur Black Foam does not have any type of flavoring added to it.  It is technically possible for mice to chew their way through the foam, but it is not likely. We have never had a report from a customer that a mouse had managed to chew through the foam.

  • Asked by Andrew

    Q
    What do you use to remove Pur Black Foam from surfaces where you do not want it?
    One of my workers got Pur Black on my new work truck side. He immediately wiped it so now there is a huge smear. What can I use to get this off after drying?
    A

    According to the manufacturer, there is no solvent that would dissolve the Pur Black Foam without potentially damaging the paint or finish on a truck, so you should use a regular scrub brush and soapy water that you would use to clean the vehicle, and it should come off over time with scrubbing. The product will also degrade in sunlight, so it will be easier to clean over time.

  • Asked by Carol from Maumee,ohio

    Q
    What do you recommend for interior garage walls at bases?
    Garage is finished with drywall and baseboards but there is a 1-2 inch gap to concrete floor. Farm behind our home and preparing for winter. Increased rodent activity this summer around the outside and our garage door rubber base strip was replaced after being chewed up and all side stripping also needs replaced.
    A

    The best solution would be an additional baseboard or moving the boards lower so that you have a solid barrier between the baseboards and the flooring. Spaces larger then about 2" are difficult to treat with other exclusion products since this is considered a fairly large space to fill. You could use a foam such as the Pur Black Foam to fill a long area like this, but keep in mind that you will need a foam gun to apply this product, and you may need to layer multiple beads to fill that entire space. Another option is Xcluder fabric, which is a very thick mixed material fabric that you can stuff into the space. Be sure you wear thick gloves when handling this product, such as those in this kit.
