I've used this product just about anywhere inside my house and apartments with excellent results. I've also used it outside but not in areas where it would be directly exposed to rain. I don't recall what the instructions say but I don't think it's rain resistant. If anything, rain would further dilute the pesticide application and render it less effective.

It is water soluble, so I would wait until you know it will not rain for a while. Also, do not use where it can run off into water sources. I read that it is very toxic to fish.

I can't comment on what materials this product may or may not damage but I use this on my cedar-sided house with no problems. From what I've seen, it lasts about 3 months, less than that if there is rain.

Only used mine for a couple of weeks as it was replaced by a shed. It did rain during that time and my belief is that is water resistant but not entirely waterproof.

I use it outside but cover with a wood cabinet ( stained ). I think it is ok for this under the rain but I am afraid it expose to the Sun ( UV ) too much and make the plastic crack.

I suppose you could technically apply it to the outside, but it would not last nearly as long, because of the exposure to weather. I have been installing this type of film for over 30 years, and I have never seen anyone install it on the outside of the window.

Johnathan, let me make a clarification to my earlier comment. Technically this enclosure is rated NEMA 3R. But in the spirit of your question your were trying to determine if this device could be USED in the rain. The direct answer to that is an unequivocal NO as the NEC, National Electrical Code, specifically forbids it. While it can be mounted on exterior surfaces it only meets NEC requirements so long as it's cover is closed. Covers such as Hubbell's TAYMAK addresses this situation for standard devices - outlets and switches. I do not know if they manufacture one for this particular purpose. Just shield it as I suggested earlier or mound it away from any direct exposure to the elements. Good luck! Johnathan, let me make a clarification to my earlier comment.

Yes.... Works well on any wood eating pests even termites to stop further damage to any wood type products in your house.... If using on the outside of your structure watch out for wind that will blow spray outside of the intended area or rain that will simply wash product away.... Use on dry non windy days....

I use on the East side of my wrap around covered porch in Western Washington State where it rains 100 inches a year but the humidity is not as high as in Florida. I have it out for several year with no problems.

You should be able to mount it on vinyl siding but you may need a sealant to keep out the rain.

I used two coats (1 can) on an outdoor potting bench, which is on the sunny side of my house in AZ (very hot and sunny all summer). So far it's done well, no problems. And it's not really rated for outdoor use. I can't really answer your question because I didn't do what you're asking about, but I hope this helps.

I used it to waterproof cinder block which was never waterproofed by the builder. Paint on 2/3 of home was peeling. Pressure washed, brushed, and put 2 coats on exposed surfaces. Followed up with exterior paint. Absolutely no further problems. This is a FL home. Not sure about your storm shelter, but when I was researching the product, there were multiple testimonies on basement walls. Not exactly the same application, but I hope this helps.

You can use it any place you would caulk. I've used it around windows and door frames. I've also used it to seal up spaces around my window air conditioners. It holds in all temperature extremes and through all sorts of stormy, rainy weather. I highly recommend this stuff.

I used this for packing items when I moved. I do know that it would be good for insulation of your home if attached over your windows. Do not know about soundproofing or other outdoor noise. I imagine it would help keep some noise out.GOOD LUCK.

Hi Tammy, I would not recommend it for exterior use, unless you have storm door. It is not really water proof. Imagine two rods of foam, covered with dress shirt fabric. That's sort of what this is like. I don't think I'd want it to get wet. I'm also not sure if it would close properly since threshold doors usually have a little strip on the bottom of the door frame. If it were my front door, I would maybe try to find a weather strip of rubber or one like this that has just a single rod of some kind to attach to the inside of my door.

Can't say for sure. We used it for inside drop location. If it was shielded from direct rain by an enclosure, it should be okay.

That's a rather generic question. I'll make a couple of assumptions. 1) You mean house siding and therefore outside 2) You mean vinyl or painted siding. That being said, it will stick to either, however, this is not outdoor adhesive and is more affected by temperature and water so it won't stick for too long. If you're looking for something longer term, I'd suggest looking at their outdoor products.

I had good luck with it in my attic; however, it is not made of weather resistant materials, so I would not try it outside.

I think it can. I dont think I would use it in direct weather as the sun might blister the wood finish. However I dont think it would be affected by the rain.
