Xcluder Rodent-Proof Door Sweeps

Xcluder Rodent-Proof Door Sweeps
May 10, 2021

Xcluder recently launched new Rodent-Proof Door Sweeps. Following extensive research and product development, Xcluder’s new Rodent-Proof Door Sweeps feature not only increased protection against rodents and insects, but also an easier-to-install design and enhanced weathersealing and thermal properties. Designed for superior compliance with food safety audit standards, the new line of sweeps is guaranteed to be impenetrable to mice and rats for the lifetime of any properly installed product.

Today’s rodents are more tenacious than ever, as COVID-19 shelter-in-place efforts have removed many of their traditional food sources. Damaged or missing door sweeps remain one of the most common rodent entry points, making specialized rodent-proof door sweeps the single most important tool in protecting homes and businesses from rodent infestation. Standard rubber or brush door sweeps are not designed to withstand the gnawing power of rodents, many of whom can gnaw through a basic door sweep in the course of one night.

Xcluder’s new Rodent-Proof Door Sweeps feature a core of high-density Xcluder Fill Fabric—a blend of stainless steel and poly-fiber with sharp, coarse fibers that rodents cannot gnaw through—and reinforced TPV gaskets that create a superior, energy-saving weatherseal. The new sweeps also feature an extended rubber flap to create a flush ground seal against insects and other outdoor contaminants. The added flap also prevents light penetration, which is often how food safety auditors determine whether doors are at risk of being breached. The new design includes screw-on end caps that seal the outer edge from even the most industrious rodents. Xcluder Rodent-Proof Door Sweeps are specially designed to assist in meeting Safe Quality Food Institute, British Retail Consortium, and U.S. Food and Drug Administration standards.

Xcluder Rodent-Proof Door Sweeps are ideal for homes, garages, schools, and retail stores. Rodents that can gnaw through plastic, wood, aluminum, brick, and even cement are not easily deterred; Xcluder is the only rodent-proofing product on the market tested and proven effective by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service lab.

Xcluder Door Sweeps are now available in Low-Profile, Standard, and Versa-Line options to accommodate all door sizes and types. The Low-Profile and Standard Door Sweeps protect under-door gaps up to 1 inch and 1.25 inches, respectively. Xcluder’s Versa-Line Sweeps protect under door gaps up to 1.75 inches and feature an optional cover to hide mounting hardware and create a smooth appearance. All of the models can be cut to size using standard tools, are available in aluminum or dark bronze finish, and are completely safe to use around people, animals, plants, and food as they contain no harsh chemicals.
