Sealing the corners of a garage door

[Roots-type]

How are y'all doing it?

I had a new gasket put on 2yrs ago, but unfortunately the ends don't seal up 100%. I'm tired of catching and killing mice that want in. My shovel says it's getting tired too. Lol

Pictures? We have weather stripping on the outside sides that go all the way down on mine.

No mice around here, but scorpions always come though those openings.

I've used this, available at HD or lowes.

How about this for a cheap fix? Amazon, of course.

I just use bait. fill a few jar lids with it and place it under front and rear of car. Only problem is if you cannot find the dead critters they can smell.

Don't ask..

I'd trade for scorpions.

Can you adjust the limits on the door to close a little tighter/harder? I adjusted mine up to open a hair further so I could squeeze my 350 into the garage for oil changes. Looks like yours could close another 1/4”.

I agree.

Maybe some Galvanized sheet metal to fill the gap. It wouldn't have to be a very big piece.

Good suggestions y'all. I've got some ideas to work with now since this thread started. Going in for a dental procedure this morning. Will be out of commission for the rest of the day. Ignore any retarded comments if I should respond today.

Tons of mice around the house. I pack all the trim cracks with this and put glue traps right next to the door opening on both sides to catch the ones sneaking in.

Battling mice in my basement. I see where they're apparently using the bathroom on the insulation in the ceiling. The ceiling isn't drywalled yet. Little bastards.

Glue trap
Set 1/2 an Oreo on it

The only benefit to having way too many cats all over the ****ing place, pissing and shitting all over the yard, and turning all the gravel around the outbuildings into a giant litter box, is that I haven’t seen a mouse in my house in probably 6 or 7 years nor outside my house in more than 4 years.

Stupid ****ing cats.

I was going to say stainless steel wool and spray foam. Fit the wool in, cover with foam, trim and paint to finish.

I spray foamed my gap. Seemed to fix the problem. Have to redo every couple years.
