anywhere that it does. We use polyurethane guns to inject the foam into

plastics,
they would sell you a plastic gun to use as the application method.

never read on the instructions that is has any adverse effects on the

things

Hmmm - perhaps time to own up to a little DIY "mishap" shall we say ;-)

Some time ago we had a problem with, as it transpired, a mouse and a rat
that had somehow got under the bathroom floor. Not sure how they go
there, but they made a hell of a racket for a few weeks as we tried
various ways of trapping / disposing of the blighters.

snip entertaining tale

The plumber (I will DIY most plumbing jobs - but am not so keen on ones
involving the output of toilets! - and anyway I had to deal with
aformetioned client the next day) was amused!


For a while there I though the punchline was going to be that you sprayed
ratty with expanding foam while he was on top of the cupboard. Oh well,
still a fun tale.
