Block holes at the slide out

What is the best product to block holes at the bottom of my slide out on my new 2504s?

A plastic bag and a can of self expanding foam.
Bag will keep the foam from sticking and is cheap enough to cut out and toss in the trash when done.

Thanks for your help

If you mean a temporary blocking as in winter storage defense against mice infestation, I stuff the holes with brass or copper wool. NOT STEEL WOOL!! Mice won't even attempt to bite through that stuff. It's easy to apply and easy to remove.

Steel can rust.

Never thought of that. Always use steel wool in my house, but no moisture concerns there.

A roll of aluminum foil is a solid replacement for steel wool where rust or stains would be a issue.
