What is the best "caulk" like material to seal a hole in the house? It doesn't have to be pretty. Got some creatures getting in the basement.

I'd mix some mud and "point it up" as my grandpa, a master brick mason would say. My first jobs (starting when I was about 12) were pulling wire for my electrician dad and mixing mud for my paw.

I'd spray expanding foam in it, Cut excess off and cover with gray caulk.

LMAO...before I ever even opened this thread, I was thinking I was going to find that video and post it. Good to know someone else's sense on humor is as twisted as mine!

Can I ask a couple questions? Good grin

Why is there a 3-4" hole in your brick veneer?
Where is hole located?

It's really cinder block, not brick. And it is where the external AC unit's electrical conduit goes into the house. It's probably actually smaller than 3-4 inches, but that'll be the total area.

Spray foam, then cut it off even with vertical plane of block. Apply a coating of sealant on top of spray foam to match block color if wanted.

I had the same problem where the people that installed my second unit was less than careful when they made the hole for the lines. I did exactly what Straycat suggested. That was 8 years ago and no problems yet.
