An expansion joint for providing a rodent-proof barrier. The expansion joint comprises an elongate core formed of a resiliently deformable material, and a flexible sheath of a barrier material covering at least a part of the elongate portion of the elongate core. The elongate portion of the elongate core is compressible in a direction perpendicular to a line between the first and second ends of the elongate core, the elongate core being arranged to be compressed and inserted into a gap between first and second building structures, and to expand after insertion into the gap so that the expansion joint is held in place within the gap by friction between the surface of the flexible sheath and the surfaces of the first and second building structures.
