What are some cheap wall insulation materials that mice, rats, and rodents are less likely to nest it?

Jul 28

I plan to build a wall under my enclosed porch to keep the wind out and any heat in to help keep the heat in the porch. It’s going to be at least 8 inches thick and I am considering fiberglass and foam-board.

mice like fiberglass too. Seriously, I can guarentee you that mice (and my brothers hamster) both nest in fiberglass insulation. I would think maybe styrofoam, but i’m just a dumb blonde bimbo.

Condensation in shed need help?

    Well, if I were a rat, I preferred the foam-board.

    I discussed this answer with the mouse living in my moms basement.

    Blanket insulation—the most common and widely available type of insulation—comes in the form of batts or rolls. It consists of flexible fibers, most commonly fiberglass. You also can find batts and rolls made from mineral (rock and slag) wool, plastic fibers, and natural fibers, such as cotton and sheep’s wool.
