Pest Safe Foam is a specialized expanding polyurethane foam designed to block rodents, insects, and other pests from entering through structural openings. Formulated with EPA-registered pest-blocking agents, this foam creates a durable, airtight, and moisture-resistant barrier around the most common entry points. Whether you’re sealing foundation cracks, attic gaps, pipe penetrations, or wall voids, Pest Safe Foam provides long-lasting protection and reliable insulation.

Why Use Pest Safe Foam?
Pest Safe Foam is engineered specifically for pest defense, offering safety and performance advantages over standard expanding foams:
- EPA-registered pest-blocking ingredients for rodent and insect resistance
- High expansion to fully seal gaps and voids
- Strong adhesion to wood, concrete, metal, masonry, and drywall
- Waterproof and mold-resistant curing
- Airtight thermal and acoustic insulation
Straw and gun options for any project size - UL-classified formulations for added reliability
Ideal for homeowners, property managers, and contractors, preventing pest intrusion and improving building efficiency. If you need a broader range of air-sealing and insulation solutions, explore our full selection of Foam Sealants.
Pest Safe Foam vs. Regular Expanding Foam
Pest Safe Foam is formulated with EPA-registered pest-blocking agents that deter mice, rats, insects, and other pests. Regular expanding foam doesn’t contain any pest-control ingredients, so it only fills gaps without preventing infestations. Pest Safe Foam also provides stronger rodent deterrence and higher insect resistance, while both products offer similar medium-high expansion, strong adhesion, and waterproof/mold-proof performance. In short, Pest Safe Foam is for pest intrusion prevention, while regular expanding foam is for general sealing.
Best Uses for Pest Safe Foam
- Sealing foundation cracks to block rodents
- Filling attic and crawl space openings
- Closing gaps around plumbing and HVAC penetrations
- Sealing under-sink voids and cabinet penetrations
- Blocking garage and basement entry points

How to Apply Pest Safe Foam
- Wear gloves and eye protection.
- Clean and dry the surface.
- Lightly moisten for improved adhesion.
- Shake the can vigorously and attach the straw or gun applicator.
- Hold the can upside down and dispense slowly.
- Fill the gaps without overfilling; the foam will expand.
- Apply in layers for large voids, allowing slight curing between passes.
- Allow 24 hours for full cure.
- Trim, sand, and paint to protect from UV exposure.
Gun-grade foam offers maximum precision for large-scale sealing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is pest blocker foam used for?
Pest blocker foam seals cracks and openings to prevent rodents, insects, and other pests from entering. It also provides insulation and moisture resistance.
Is Pest Safe Foam waterproof?
Yes. Most products cure into a waterproof, mold-proof seal suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
Pest Safe Foam vs regular expanding foam: what’s the difference?
Pest foam includes pest-repelling agents; regular expanding foam does not.
Is pest blocker foam safe for indoor use?
Yes. Most pest-resistant foams are low-VOC and safe for indoor applications when properly ventilated.
Can I use pest blocker foam around electrical outlets or pipes?
Absolutely. It’s ideal for sealing around pipes, cables, and outlets where pests often enter. Always ensure surfaces are clean and dry.
What’s the difference between straw and gun foam?
Straw foams are designed for small to medium DIY projects. Gun foams offer better control and precision for larger or repetitive jobs; choose based on the project's scale.
Does pest blocker foam kill pests?
No. It doesn’t kill pests directly but creates a solid, repellent barrier that prevents them from entering or nesting.
How long does pest blocker foam last?
When properly applied and protected from UV light, it can last several years without losing adhesion or pest-blocking performance.
Can pest blocker foam be painted over?
Yes, once fully cured, it can be sanded and painted for a clean finish.
What’s the best foam for mice and rats?
Polyurethane pest blocker foams with rodent-resistant additives, such as Stanley F993 or Sprayman Pest Blocker, are most effective for mice and rats.
Can I use pest blocker foam outdoors?
Yes, these foams are formulated for both indoor and outdoor sealing applications. Always protect cured foam with paint for long-term durability.
