Rats on the rooftop

Here’s something I didn’t know before one of our customers—a major pest control company—came to us: there’s a real problem with rats on the roofs of commercial buildings!

You read that right: rats love hanging out on rooftops, especially in large urban areas. This pest control company contracts with us to purchase our Italian-made vinyl-coated 16 gauge 1/2x1/2 wire mesh, which they use to build custom traps to prevent rats from causing damage to commercial properties.

The mesh they use is perfect for the job—it’s strong and durable and can withstand the elements while keeping those pesky critters out. Once installed, the traps effectively block rats from making their way into vents, HVAC systems, and other areas where they can wreak havoc. Thanks to the quality of our mesh, the traps are reliable and long-lasting, ensuring the building stays protected.

It’s amazing to think about how versatile wire mesh can be, isn’t it? Whether it’s fencing for farms, securing solar farms, or keeping rats off rooftops, our products are built to handle the job.

If you’ve got a unique project in mind, or you’re just looking for the best materials to protect your property, we’ve got you covered with wire mesh solutions that get the job done. And if you want to learn more, you can always call Terry, our fence expert, at 978-486-3116 for advice on your next project!

 Kind Regards,

Debbie Page
