Weep Hole Cover Comparison, What To Put In Weep Holes

Below you will find a weep hole cover comparison chart. Note: For years only pest control companies understood mice get in weep holes. For this reason they would treat weep holes in the process of a whole home prevention package and typically use cheap materials so most of their cost became profit. The cheaper the solution the better for them. Where this crosses the line is when the solution does not respect the need for brick wall ventilation to avoid rot and mold from excess trapped moisture.

This gives homeowners the understanding their solution is the only solution that works. This is not the case, it just means they don’t want to price in a solution that costs more than the material they use which is literraly pennies. 

In these cases we say:  Don’t Do What These Pros Do When It Comes To Weep Holes – Rather Do What Provides Both Protection And Longevity Of Healthy Ventilation. And why not slash costs of mouse control.

There are many pest exclusion companies who will provide you the choice to install covers you want. It may mean a small upcharge for the additional cost but well worth it. Years after the pest control company’s work is complete you are better served with healthy ventilating weep holes. 

it is also important to note homes today use a lot of mechical equipment that use air to operate, furnace, ac, bathroom fans etc. all draw in tons of air (make up air). To get this air there can be a vacuum effect pulling air from all kinds of areas even through flaws in the vapor barrier. If you have rot and mold in your inner wall cavity this can impact home air quality.
