Abby - Brush sweepers have many advantages over rubber seals. They conform to irregularities over which they ride; they will not be chewed out by rodents, as I have often seen with rubber seals; and they will effectively keep out rats, mice, snakes, and all manner of insects - even scorpions and spiders. You can even install brush sweeps on overhead doors, in between double doors, and on dock load levelers. A major company providing these products in all kinds of sizes is the Sealeze Company at www.sealeze.com, 800-446-7325.

We’re planning to have some fitted to a few internal and external doors, and the pest company we have asked to do the job have suggested brushes for the bottom of the doors. I would prefer rubber, as I’m concerned about insects taking up residence in the brushes, and I don’t know how successful brushes will be in stopping mice. However the company assure me that mice will not go through brushes as they don’t like the feeling. I’m not particularly convinced, so thought I would ask around. Does anyone have any experience in this area?
