AN INSERT FOR A WEEP HOLE OPENING IN A MASONRY WALL

摘要

There is disclosed herein an insert (10) for a weep hole opening (11) in a masonry wall (not shown). The insert (10) comprises a unitary body (12) having a relatively rigid spine portion (14) and a resilient fringe (16) extending around the top and opposite side edges of the body (12). The fringe (16) is defined by slits (18) in the body (12) and is oversized relative to the size of the weep hole. A front (relative to a forward insertion direction F o the insert 10) surface (20) of the fringe (16) is adapted for engaging walls (21) of the weep hole (11). The body (12) is formed from linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), which is a relatively low friction material, and as such facilitates insertion of the insert (10) into the weep hole (11). The fringe (16) is also impregnated with a pesticide, such that vermin that squeeze past the fringe (16) are dosed with the pesticide.
