I'd think a simpler and probably cheaper solution would be to simply use

don't think you need anything near a full areal coverage to do the job
adequately although it would, of course be certain.

Possibly, but since the insulation protrudes from the studs by about 2
inches, I would think a mesh solution would work better without
compressing it very much. Wire might kink it enough to reduce its
efficiency. I'm headed to the store now to get a look at the anti-
bird mesh. I'll report back with what I find.

I don't think it would be a problem--any compression is pretty localized
and wouldn't have to string the wire tightly, anyway (in fact, wouldn't
want to).

But, another thought -- take either the netting or the chicken wire and
cut it into narrower strips -- it'll have sufficient surface area but be
less costly.
