Ask your QuestionCan insulation materials attract mice and other animals? How can I tell whether any given insulation material or/and product will have this effect?
Asked by Everson on 16th Nov 2020"Well anything can attract mice and animals I wouldn’t say insulation wouldn't make it any worse."
Answered on 16th Nov 2020 - Member since Oct 2020 - report"Mice have been known to chew through electrical wires, fiberglass insulation batts, and rigid foam insulation. Generally, mice have no attraction to spray foam insulation, as it doesn't represent a food source."

They have also been known to take it to nearby locations to use as materials for nests. Spray foam insulation has been proving to be the best insulation to deter rodents"
