Plugging Up SREH's

Hi,
Is there an easier way to plug up crescent holes? I've been taking off the SREH doors and putting back on the standard round holed doors with the plugs in them.

You can take a foam pool noodle and cut it about an inch wide and stuff it in the hole.
Today I used some pipe insulation foam cut at 1 inch and filled in the cresent with that. It won't stop the wasps but will keep out sparrows & starlings.

A.P.

Hi Nanette,
On My Cresents I use a Noodle like you use in a swimming pool, you can get them at walmart ...cheap. I just cut them to my desired width and insert them in ea hole for the winter...keeps out those little Sparrow Nasties, etc,etc,.I hope this helps you.

The clothes pins really do work. I used them last year and they stayed on.

If you use nesting trays all you have to do is rotate them 180 degrees.

Stan; You pointed out the obvious. The answer has been staring me in the face ( And laughing at me). All the PM inventors out here in cyber space have been trying to invent the perfect way to keep out S&S while waiting for the arrival of their beloved PMs. Looking back i now think of all the time i spent looking for the duck tape. There were times i couldn't find it so i did what ever Male does, i went to the store and bought another roll of duck tape. Now that i can scratch that problem off my list i think I'll go and try to improve some other part of my T-14.
Have a Great Day- Jim
