Weepa: Protecting Weep Holes from Pests, Termites, and Bushfire Embers
Understanding Weep Holes:
Weep holes are gaps in external brick walls, serving two purposes:
1. Ventilation: Removing moisture from internal wall cavities
2. Drainage: Allowing water to escape
Problems with Unprotected Weep Holes:
1. Pest Entry: Rodents, insects, and snakes enter through weep holes
2. Termite Entry: Weep holes provide free access for termites
3. Bushfire Ember Entry: Embers ignite internal combustible materials
Solutions for Unprotected Weep Holes:
1. Protector Weep Hole Screen: Keeps pests out while maintaining airflow
2. Termite Protector Weep Hole Screen: Deters termites for up to 2 years
3. Bushfire Compliant Products: Meet Australian Standards for ember protection
