The brushes make sense since as mentioned they last longer and the fit
doesn't have to be as precise against the floor.  Either type has to be
well maintained and replaced immediately when worn.  That's one of the
problems with sweeps that I've seen at our historic sites and museums that
I've assessed over the years.

Another big problem that I've seen over and over is that the sweeps weren't
fit correctly in the first place and there are 1/4" to 1/2" gaps on either
end by the door jambs.  That's easily remedied by measuring correctly, and
if installed by a contractor, making them correct the error before signing
off on the project.

  Hi Abby,

  We are also speaking with a pest control company regarding door seals for 
mice. The Museum's off-site facility is located in open desert with few 
buildings, so mice are a concern. Last fall we had an unusually high 
infestation. Since we are in the high desert, other insect pests do not seem to 
be as prevelant as other climates. I would be interested in hearing the 
responses you receive off-list.

  Thanks,

  Dear all,



  I was wondering if anyone has a preference when it comes to the type of seals 
used to prevent rodents squeezing underneath doors? 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?



  Thanks in advance,

  Abby

  I have found three Gopher snakes in the past three years inside the facility. 
They were happily released into the sagebrush to see another day. I wonder if 
the door seals will prevent snakes as well. That's a question to ask the pest 
control company. I would also like to prevent scorpions from entering as well.

Abby,

I have had great success with brushes on the bottom of doors in several 
different museums. It does keep out mice and insects if installed correctly. A 
quality synthetic brush will adapt to temperature changes or small changes to 
the floor structure better than a rubber seal. The rubber tends to get ripped 
or worn easier as well.

As long as you use a synthetic brush and do not have lots of food and organic 
material going into the bristles, you should not have a problem with insects. 
The brushes can be removed and cleaned if need be.

Dear all,

I was wondering if anyone has a preference when it comes to the type of seals 
used to prevent rodents squeezing underneath doors? 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?

Thanks in advance,
Abby
