Why Garage Door Gaps Matter
- Easy Access – Rats can slip under a gap as small as half an inch. If you can see daylight, they can squeeze through.
- Built-In Shelter – Once they’re in the garage, critters are protected from predators and weather. From there, it’s only a short climb into the attic.
- Bug Highway – Roaches, spiders, scorpions… they all use that same gap to march right into your home.
What We See Every Day
We’ve had homeowners call about “mystery dirt piles” on the garage floor. Turns out it was rat droppings. And sometimes it’s just the smell — once critters start marking territory, the odor lingers.
How We Fix It for Good
At Homeland Wildlife & Pest Control, garage doors are always on our checklist:
- Inspect the Frame & Seal – We check both the weatherstripping and the corners where the frame meets the wall.
- Install Chew-Proof Barriers – Foam won’t cut it — rodents chew right through. We use materials designed to stop teeth and claws.
- Seal It Cleanly – We make it look good and match your home. No ugly patches or shortcuts.
- Lifetime Warranty – Once we seal it, it stays sealed. If critters ever get past it, we come back for free.
Don’t Wait for the First Signs
By the time you notice droppings, chew marks, or smells, the damage has already started. Checking your garage door seal now can keep pests out before they get comfortable.
Call us for a free inspection, and we’ll check the garage along with the rest of your home.
