啮齿动物嵌套在矿物羊毛蝙蝠中，他们用玻璃纤维做了吗？
In my area (NM), mice and other rodents often nest in fiberglass batts, or harvest the fiberglass and move it to nearby locations to build their nests. Do they do this just as much with mineral wool batt insulation? While major rework is needed on many aspects of this property, in making short term repairs to the insulation in a few locations, I wonder if using mineral wool would be effective in deterring rodents.
On a similar question, I’ve got one room with a roughly 3/4″ x 3/4″ gap between the edge of the hardwood flooring and the wall. I would like to fill this gap, and then install baseboards. I can imagine the rodents chewing through backer rod or fiberglass insulation. Is there a good way to fill this gap, that rodents wouldn’t destroy?

啮齿动物不是太挑剔的。有一些迹象表明纤维素中的阻燃剂足够的眼睛刺激性，以防止它们嵌套在这些东西中，但保持松鼠从我携带的一袋新袋纤维素中吃洞是不够的车库和传播它。我毫无疑问地怀疑专门的小鼠或老鼠幸福嵌套在岩棉中，尽管隧道穿过高密度的岩棉比低或中密度玻璃纤维需要更多的工作。
Foamed concrete insulation or packed pumice insulation might do it, or EPS beads in a cement/polymer matrix like Styrocrete (all about R2/inch) would likely impede them a bit.
德里克，
问：“Do啮齿动物在矿物羊毛桶中筑巢吗？”
答：我不知道，但鸟儿。看包裹着一个摇滚羊毛保温的老房子。
矿物羊毛认为是啮齿动物和耐药抗体。玻璃纤维可能是啮齿动物的最佳嵌套材料，他们喜欢这些东西。纤维素具有很强的抗性，但已知啮齿动物也使用它。最好的做法是密封绝缘，以防止它们访问它，但啮齿动物喜欢啃。

感谢你们每个人的答案。关于汉语病毒，这是一个非常严重的关注，但谢天谢地不在我的新墨西哥州。我没有想到这个申请中的浮石。这是一个有吸引力的选择，因为它是本地可用的可再生资源。（另一个爆发应该发生任何千年）。

德里克，
A portion of the 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch gap at the perimeter of your hardwood flooring can be filled with caulk, which will reduce air leakage. Of course, the caulk is not 100% effective against rodent teeth.
马丁，请告诉我更多关于如何接近Caulk选项的信息。我熟悉的填缝试图填补任何维度的大约3/4“的空白。背杆杆可能会缩短填充的深度，但我不确定如何部分地填充深度和宽度间隙，然后有效地填落。请注意，间隙平均为3/4“x 3/4”，但不规则。
I use door & window expanding foam for the bigger gaps, then trim it down flat with a knife. The remaining smaller gaps get caulk.
德里克，
这是一个经典的空气泄漏位置，我喜欢在可能的地方填充它。显然，如果间隙特别宽，则可能很难填缝。
根据干墙的高度,caulk locations include the seam where the subfloor meets the bottom plate, or the seam where the drywall meets the subfloor. In some cases, it also makes sense to install a bead of caulk under the baseboard, to seal the seam between the baseboard and the hardwood flooring. (This last location is the one usually chosen by weatherization workers.)
