Has anyone installed this in a crawl space? I know there is an ArmaFoil VB (vs. TM) but found no reviews on the "VB". This is for a southern (SC) home

I used this product in the interior sheathing of my roof. I created an air space with 2 in styrafoam strips...don't see why that wouldn't work in your scenario...just need it to breathe a bit....jmho

There isn't typically any radiant heat in a crawl space, so I'm not sure why you would install it there. Not that you couldn't, but there are cheaper options if all you're looking for is a vapor barrier.

I would look at some of the bigger models if you're not pressed for space. I had a Dimplex one that looked like a cast iron stove and it was much more realistic with glowing embers. I don't have room for that in the RV so I picked up this one. It works great for that need.

Yes, it should work in your crawl space provided it is a relatively open area. Obstacles will limit its effective range. It is likely a big enough area that you will need more than one pest chaser. You can experiment with how many you need. Keep the pest chaser and the electric cord dry. Good luck! Charlie

Yes, I posted this question as well and accidentally deleted it I think as I don't see it anymore and five others had said yes, about the same said no. It did for me, I've been running it outside for a few days and it's getting less and less. I'm hopeful to bring it inside again tomorrow. It was rough the first day as my whole house smelled like chemicals.

My basement is 20' by 50'. One third is full basement, two thirds 2' crawlspace. T3-R takes care of this area no problem. No rodent activity noticed three days after activating. It has now been 12 days with no acorn bowling in the basement. So far,so good!

I can't imagine why it would be optimal for that. RadiantGUARD foil is meant to reflect heat away & does result in lower heat transfer to the living area below attic crawl space. But if you want to e.g. insulate tubes from heat, there must be better insulation choices.

It installs on the water intake pipe to the house. Mine is after the water pipe enters the house.I cant say if it would be able to stand up to the outside elements (rain, snow etc). I am sure in a crawlspacewould be OK, but not necessarily totally outside. It is an electronic device. Try the manufacturer for a beter answer.It has worked nicely for me for a few years.

The short hose is a problem. I get spider webs that cannot be reached. Also is nearly impossible for stairs. Have to wrestle it as you go. They need to offer an extension hose to add to the flexible hose.

the instructions say to keep it few feet from walls, about 5ft off the ground and away from other big things, at ground level, and keep windows closed. so it depends on your crawl space if that works.

Yes, but the good news is that spiders, centipedes, sow bugs and all of the other creepy things step on it too, and they can't get off. I enjoy replacing the old sticky ones and seeing all of the bugs that would have been in my garage. It makes me feel good to put out a new clean one and know that anything that tries to cross it will wind up in my garbage container.

I am using it in my garage, about 30 by 40. I have been using it for about 2 months and it seems to be working .I have no seen spiders or bugs with it in use.

We're attempting to address new home potentially toxic fumes from spray in insulation and fire proof coating in crawl space walls. Have additionally installed air to air heat exchanger / exhaust (Panasonic).

It would be difficult to get this sprinkled into a crawl space. It's very effective for the yard. You might try a spray for your crawl space. Lysol spray will kill the odor and kill fleas. If you want a spray designed for animal stool and urine odor in the yard, you might try NaturVet Yard Odor Eliminator. I got that here, too. I've only used it once, so I can't personally recommend it. Good luck!

Kyle, I have even run this type of cable outdoors without a problem for short runs.....50'. I would have no issue running it through a crawl space provided their are no "critters" to chew on it. "Warning" critters love the plastic to chew on especially mice & squirrels!

My works fine. Accuracy isn't an issue. Good quality. I use mine in a attic crawl space to keep down the moisture levels.

check to see if steam is coming out, should be easy enough with some effort on a shiny smooth floor, might be a little rougher if on a floor that has an upraised pattern. ive never had trbl with ours but our floors are smooth.

I'm sure that it can be used and left in crawl spaces. If you have it on high though it may be too much wind. This thing moves some air!
