Found a chipmunk doorway has been chewed into the corner of my garage door! See pics.
The red brick is currently working well to keep them from chewing any more, and also from getting into the garage.
Trying to think of a good way to repair the damage. Am thinking of just cutting out the bottom six inches or so of the vertical trim wood and replacing with new. I don't know if they sell this trim wood with the rubber seal attached or not. Also thinking of buying a new seal for the bottom of the door. Then the plan would be to hope the chipmunks lose interest in that corner when they encounter the new materials in their way, and I can take away the brick. There had already been some wear and tear in that corner which no doubt gave them some edges to chew on to get started. It's a wooden garage door, by the way.
Thoughts, suggestions?
