If this is for rats you can find a thin sheet of copper, they won't chew trough that. Forget putting glass in ciment or any of that stuff, they'll chew through it and spit the glass aside, I've seen it before. The only material they don't chew through is copper. BUT if they want in, they'll get in, so you have to exterminate and then prevent them from getting back in. The best stuff I've found to prevent is a product called Detol, it's a very strong pine smelling cleaner. Maybe you can't find Detol, but anything with a VERY strong pine smell should work
