Nice idea. Thanks for the DIY and love Echo. Chipmunks are our garage door problem and I will do this too. Chipmunks are amazingly clever at getting in to the house.

No the mice will not chew around the bracket. I installed it in November and it is now almost August and I have had ZERO mice in my garage or house.

Yes the aluminum can be painted any colour you like. Just be sure to get paint that is intended for metal surfaces and clean the metal with Acetone before applying.

Aluminum. You want to use aluminum because it won’t rust and it’s much easier to drill or put screws through.

So I used flashing 6 inch cut which has been working but I noticed the other day they have chewed a hole right above the 6 inches they found the weakness! Nuts huh??

I left about a 1/8" gap to avoid it catching and that has worked fine for me, but if your garage door has a lot of play in it then a slight outward bend is a great idea

Hi! Great video. I’m assuming you did not attach the flashing to the garage door. Attachment to the side only? Please let me know. Thanks!

Been trying to figure out how the mice are getting in for years. Your solution looks better than my caulk-in-the corners attempt. I sure hope this does it for me.... Can they not get under the rubber in the middle? Is it only the corners? I guess I will find out...
@fixinwithford3484
@fixinwithford3484 2 года назад
The most common area for rodents to nibble are the corners (probably because they can hide there). It’s been 2 years since I had a single mouse in my garage after doing this, so I think you’ll find it works.

Well a simple fix, but have to say, the shiny metal does not blend into the color of the garage door....but I guess if the fix is for critters, the aesthetics is not a big deal....

I’m going to give you a chance to not look like a jack ass. Am I responding to a question you asked? No! Jackass it’s been 4 weeks and she nor anyone else liked or responded to your post. In fact someone else also said it’s aluminum in other posts besides the guy stating this in the video. Obviously the lady needed a little more information than your dumb ass could comprehend.
