One thing to consider when protecting your home from rodents – mice in particular in residential situations – is the fact that many people overlook preventing them from entering through the garage.
It’s common knowledge that mice are incredible “chewers.” They are great at gnawing at everything from insulation to wiring to light metals like aluminum, and much more. Garage doors usually made of wood, glass, fiberglass, aluminum, or a combination. Mice can chew through wood, plastic, vinyl, plastic, and aluminum or fiberglass.
So, protection needs to be good if not great to prevent mice infestations. Entry points are the most immediate concern – being able to stop them from getting in is the best form of control.
Garage entry points can be like normal doors, with holes at the bottom allowing mice or rats underneath and through the size of a dime or quarter. But garage doors because of their weight pushing down, have an added form of protection as the door is typically forced heavily against the ground.
The sides of garage doors, however, are not protected. Through time, the bolts holding these doors together lose their tightness just as part of normal wear and tear. Burrtec’s new garage door exclusion product protects garage doors from allowing rodents to enter, thus preventing infestations.
Burrtec protects both garage doors and entry doors from rodents. Burrtec manufactures door sweeps that can prevent mice and rats from entering a home, office, or warehouse facility. Its new garage door product is being released later this year, to protect the sides of garage doors from rodent entry.
