You can buy stainless steel wire grid on ebay and cut to sizes needed to block heat outlets....use wire screen on inside of air intakes......reduce the use of insecticides and poisonous chemicals by keeping these critters out in the first place.


As to removing anode rod from hot water heater while filled with antifreeze......buy a PVC plug from any hardware store...it's a standard NPT thread size...or go big and buy brass...only 8 times the cost and works just as well as PVC.
