WWilts Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 New build in progress Ducts going down through screed/insulation/concrete slab & out through external walls. Ducts are open at both ends. How to ensure a) no vermin can enter the house through the ducts b) air/heat exchange with the exterior is minimised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close them at the outer end but also protect the cables there as they can be chewed through. I have, in the past used stainless steel wool, oven cleaner type stuff, forced down to simply close the gap, this can be pulled out if needs be, does not rust, allows a little air flow - if you want to seal it to air you have to work harder and cannot be chewed through by your average rodent / vermin! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
