I added a bristle strip (metal strip with about an inch of bristles

Since then, no more rodents.
You must have very thick rodents, ours just nibble their way through.
They haven't done this in the garage though which also has a length of
brush strip fixed along the bottom edge and 4" wide bits of carpet tile
type carpet up the sides as far as possible to keep the driving rain and
snow out.

I screwed some 1" x 3/4" (or so) batten to the floor in the garage, which
the doors butt against when shut. We haven't had a single mouse in the
garage since! The only down-side is that you can't sweep the garage
out into the drive now, but it's a small price to pay.


I have a folding automatic garage door with a tough rubber tube along
the bottom. Mice have eaten a doorway through that!
