I have access to free llama wool that was quality reject from a manufacturer, so it's prepped, clean, and high grade.

I'd like to use it as insulation for a studio within a warehouse. The warehouse, as warehouses go, might have rodents scurrying about.

I've sealed off cracks, and been pretty fastidious about cleaning and patching holes and spray foam. I'll also be using natural spray repellant and never keeping food in the studio. I can just imagine the cozy rats nest of plush llama wool in my walls lol.

I'm in Oregon, it's cold.

Would you advise against it with potential rodent presence?

Would adding DE or other natural powders repel permanently?

Any tips and tricks to using llama wool as interior wall insulation?
