hmm. I still don't.

I was always told 30 + years ago it was called Monkey s*it.

The counter guy probably knows that term but the real name is duct seal.

1967 rancher. There are NO centipedes, spiders or any other bug coming up from the basement because he did this that way. I own the house now and I am grateful for his attentiveness to this detail! My indoor cats patrol the basement on occasion, and believe me , they find all types of insects that would like to live upstairs with us. RIP Uncle Ezra.

Monkey s*it doesn't have a shelf life...
