Given that EM serves as a lense into our homes, would this provide an effective counter measure??

I think aliexpress EMF paint has a good chance of working. All you need is some kind of conductor (usually graphite, that's literally just pencil lead) mixed with some kind of adhesive. I'm not sure how the adhesive doesn't stop electricity flow (maybe there's just so much graphite it doesn't matter), anyways you can buy graphite spray in any electronics hobby store, a paint is just that with a different consistency.
