Abstract
A apparatus to prevent insect intrusion through window weep holes includes a long filled tube which may be placed in the open track of a window. The apparatus is most effective when the window is open. The apparatus seals the window track to prevent bugs from intruding into the interior of the building. Its size and length may vary depending on the size of the window. Its shape may vary based on the design and the materials it is made of or filled with.
