Thanks everyone; really helpful. I’m also feel much better knowing that I don’t

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.comhttp://www.sealeze.com, 800-446-7325.

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
