We can have major problems with shrews here in Newfoundland and other parts of Atlantic Canada. Therefore, in general, we cover lower entrances with 1/4 hardware cloth (wire mesh). The standard mouse guards with 3/8" diameter holes are too large; they allow small shrews to ingress and egress the hive.
