Woven and welded wire mesh are commonly used to keep out unwanted critters. The key to using wire mesh for critter and pest control is identifying the appropriate opening size for the pests in your area.

Again, the key to determining what wire mesh specification will work best for you is identifying the appropriate size for your application. Opening sizes from approximately 2" to 1/4" tend to be highly requested. Featured here, please find some of the more popular wire mesh specifications commonly used in pest and critter control applications. Darby also offers many other wire mesh specifications used in critter control as well as supplies custom manufactured items. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Aluminum is largely considered the most popular non-ferrous metal in the world, and as such, aluminum alloys are commonly used in the wire mesh industry. Aluminum alloys are composed primarily of aluminum, and also contain other elements like copper, magnesium, manganese, or silicon.

Aluminum woven wire mesh is lightweight; in fact, a good rule of thumb is that, when compared to its stainless steel counterpart, aluminum mesh is approximately 1/3rd the weight of stainless. Aluminum wire mesh is also corrosion resistant in most normal environments but will corrode quickly in the presence of alkaline solutions and hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids. With an estimated melting point of 1218oF, aluminum has many benefits, including a relatively low cost compared to other meshes. Aluminum woven wire mesh is a popular choice for a wide array of industries including aerospace and automotive, as well as marine and electrical conductivity applications.

The items listed on this website represent many of the most requested specifications of aluminum woven wire mesh. These items are available from stock or can be custom manufactured. Should you not see your preferred specification, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
