Homeowner needs to patch a hole near a water heater that mice are entering through, but standard gap fillers are flammable and unsafe, and the location is hard to reach.
Existing gap fillers are flammable and cannot be used near a water heater due to fire risk, and there is no specific product designed for sealing holes in tight, high-heat locations.
