Rodent Screen Keeps Pests Out of Your Compost

Gardeners like you helped our R&D team design a better rodent screen — one with a tighter mesh, no sharp edges and a baked-on powder-coating so it won't rust.

    • Keeps rodent pests out of Deluxe Pyramid Composter
    • Tight mesh is more effective than screens made from hardware cloth
    • Long-lasting, powder-coated finish

        Doesn't fit well

              Comments about Rodent Screen:

              Having read the past reviews--I thought "Oh, they just have to be installing it incorrectly." But no, I received mine and the fit is downright strange. Technically, it does cover the open space in the bottom of the composter, but it does not appear to be well designed for that purpose. It just kind of sits in the space--not snug, not tight, not well.

              The screen is well made and uses great materials--but the basic fit of it leads to some pause.

              I only recommend because it is probably better and more effective than trying to create one on your own. But this is far form a ringing endorsement.

              Pros

              • Very solid

              Cons

              • Could be a bit larger
              • Slightly small

              • Keeping out rodents

              Comments about Rodent Screen:

              Nice and sturdy/solid. However, the fit is rather loose. Could be a smidge bigger. Thought [$] was a bit much for just a screen, even though it is a heavy solid item.

                    This rodent screen supposedly fit the composter I bought, but I had to tape it in place to keep from having big gaps that rodents could have squeezed through.

                        It's a quality product - small mesh, powder-coated paint, nice and sturdy. It fits perfectly inside my pyramid compost bin. And I'm glad I won't have to worry about 'critters' in my compost when I open the lid!

                                  it was exceptionally easy to just drop it in the bottom of the newly assembled composter! So far, haven't seen any signs of rodents, hope to never see them in my compost!
