I guess the only difference in expanding foam is that the pest proof stuff has an insecticide as part of its chemical make up and there for a chance for the manufacturer to soak the consumer. You, think?

After some research there appears to be nothing remarkable with the PestBlock. I think the regular Great Stuff may be a better choice for RV application. Works great on 100yo houses too.]]> Sat, 04 Nov 2017 19:15:27 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10506&PID=101729#101729 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10506&PID=97967#97967 Author: DavMar

I used the great stuff labeled for pest prevention to close gaps in the Pod. And it (along with many dryer sheets and surveillance) have made sure that I have had no problems inside.  Chipmunks did chew through the gas hose by the tank a few years ago but that is a different situation.
