Vandicka 4 PCS Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh Sheet 15 x 15

I bought this wire mesh for miniature making
It is thicker than I thought but can be cut with large scissors.

I don’t find it very easy to bed into shape so I would probably try for something thinner than this

But the quality is good for what it is

After hearing some scratching noise in the kitchen one Sunday morning I found there was a mouse inside the extractor hood over the hob. Not just in the hood, but actually in the fan unit itself. Using a torch I could see his little greasy face looking back at me. The only way he could have got in is through the vent outlet, about 7ft above the ground on a flat wall, behind a plastic grille. I eventually got him out by unclipping the fan case and managing to squeeze a few fingers in until I felt something soft and squidgy, pulled it out into a bucket. I was about to release him into the field behind but he jumped out the bucket himself, over the fence.

I needed something that allowed air out and kept random mice and insects outside. This mesh was perfect, and after a bit of trimming with stout scissors to cut it to size it fitted nicely behind the plastic grille. Hopefully I wont experience any more chewing of my extractor fan and with the mesh being stainless steel, it shouldn’t rust. You’ll have to do better than that, mousey!
