Water pipes and drains represent pathways for insects. In order to install the pipes and drains plumbers and contractors have to put holes into walls, floors and drill through wood studs to run the metal and plastic pipes. Insects such as ants and bed bugs and rodents can find their way along the pipes and through the walls to enter into rooms. Insects and rodents can easily move along piping between apartments and hotel rooms.
FASST Seal Water Pipe Gaskets utilize the same proven repellent technology and repellent oils formulation as FASST Door Seals. The Gaskets repel bed bugs, American and German cockroaches, ants, crickets, beetles and mice and stops rodents from gnawing.
FASST Seal Water Pipe Gaskets are sized and precut for easy installation onto commonly used existing water and drain pipe and can be easily trimmed/adjusted to fit odd sized pipes and drains.
