thanks....I just went to the hardware store to get my first barrel of
free
window screen (they apreciate it...lowers their dump fee) and 3/4 of it was
the fiberglass kind.....so I'll take your experience and just accept the
aluminum.....those pics of tree borers i just downloaded look quite capable
of chewing plastic, and i bet voles are too.
I watched a bumblebee i disturbed last year build a nest in
fiberglass
insulation by going in a circle just chewing and depositing this tiny
circular nest..wonderful to watch
