Steel wool cheaper, for holes?

Regular steel wool is a waste of time and money, so I was using stainless steel until a Cook's Pest friend said that mice will actually pull SS from holes to get through using their teeth. However, copper tastes bad to them so it is an effective block if tightly emplaced. I have switched from SS to copper.

Has anyone successfully used this to block a rat? (A gray roof rat (R. rattus) appeared this week and I'm looking to evict it from my patio shed.)

Sorry to say, I bought this and installed it over several openings in my house where roof rats were getting in. Lo and behold, they ate right through it, so waste of time and money for me. These rats aren't that big so it's not like a monster rat I'm dealing with here. The copper mesh was no match for their teeth, though. These guys also eat through very hard plastic with no problem.

Do you need glue or something to hold it in place? I have a gap between my foundation and siding and I'm not sure how to glue it down.

Use caulk to help hold the mesh in place, lay out a thin line of caulk on either side of the hole or area you want to cover with the mesh, then press the edge of the mesh into the caulk and you've sealed your opening.

How wide is this mesh?

about 5 1/2 inches but the mesh is tubular (double thickness) and works very well.
