VentGuard Animal Control Screen

The Hy-C VentGuard screen covers static vents and power ventilators to prevent animals from entering attics. It uses heavy-duty 18-ga expanded metal mesh with a black galvanized finish for durability. Installation must be performed by qualified roofing or siding contractors.

Suits homes with vulnerable plastic roof vents

This screen protects properties where existing vent screens are missing or inadequate against wildlife intrusion. It is not intended for buyers who need a product they can install themselves without professional help. The requirement for qualified contractor installation makes it unsuitable for DIY projects.

18-ga expanded metal mesh construction

The heavy-gauge galvanised metal mesh provides the physical barrier that stops animals chewing through or pushing past weaker plastic screens. This material choice determines whether the screen can withstand persistent wildlife pressure over time.
