The power company will have their own ideas as to what to
use for sealant. If the weatherhead is on the power co side
of the meter, they may want to do the job themselves. It's
worth asking. The sealing may be a no charge job cause
you're a paying customer.

If the wires are in good shape, it might not be needed to
kill the power. Caulk or Great Stuff isn't known to be
highly conductive.

As I have said in a couple of other threads I just
completed a bathroom
reno and I ran into a rather interesting problem..When I
took off the
faceplate to add a breaker for the bathroom I found live
wasps and about 3
inches of dead ones in the bottom of the box..I went outside
and observed
wasps flying in and out of the gaps around the 3 wires
entering the weather
head..I can't believe they made it all the way down thru the
meter into the
basement but they did..I hosed the weatherhead with wasp
spray and cold
weather came and I haven't seen anymore but I'm looking for
a more permanant
solution..Is there a way to seal around the wires?? I know I
will have to
call the power company to kill the power to do this but need
a plan before
doing so and don't expect a clerk at Home Depot to know the
answer so I'm
asking the knowledgable folks here...Any suggestions ??
Thanks as always...
