3 Inch Or Longer Weep Holes
Mouse Problems Occur With Brick Weep Vents. Rid-O-Mice Is Your Best Solution Even For 3 Inch Or Longer Weep Holes.
When outfitting your brick weep vents with Rid-O-Mice covers you need to take into account the height of the holes.
With a measuring tape in hand measure a few different holes to quickly determine what length covers you need.
My Weep Holes Are 3 Inches In Height
This is a really straight forward solution. The Rid-O-Mice 2.75 inch covers are perfect for the job. Simply insert the covers centered into the hole vertically. This will leave a gap at the top and bottom of the hole roughly the same as the gaps in the cover’s grill. You are all set!
My Weep Holes Are Taller Than 3 Inches
In this case you will want to insert a full length 2.75 inch cover into the hole flush with the bottom of the weep hole. Then taking shears, cut another cover to the size of the gap at the top of the hole. Then insert the cut peice so it fits in seamlessly. Use clean, dry shears and wear gloves and eye protection when cutting and handling the cut peices.
You Can Prevent Many Of These Issues Before They Happen
Not all steps taken by home owners and even proffessionals from time to time are the most sound strategy and can cause other non intended consequences. One of the easiest and most effective things you can do right now by yourself is properly manage your weep holes – the most readily accessed point of entry by mice and you don’t even need to get on a ladder. They are ground level. Get the solution that solves the problem for good and ensures your wall ventilation is maintained.
Some Honest Reviews of Rid-O-Mice Weep Hole Covers
It seems like a couple of times each year I was battling with the odd mouse. I set traps along the outside walls and had to resort to poison where I noticed their beautiful brown pellets usually in the furnace room but also under our dishwasher. That seemed to work temporarily. A friend of mine in the pest control business told me about Rid-O-Mice so I asked him to come by and take care of it. Haven’t had any issues since.

We had elongated weep holes… meaning the weepholes extended above and below the actual brick. We were able to purchase some spare stainless inserts and cut them to fill in the gaps created by the abnormal height of the weep holes. Not all were like this but some were and it worked perfect!!

Last year we bought a 30 year old home and our home inspector pointed out the house had signs of mice. Just the thought of that didn’t appeal to us but everything else about the house was right for us. Fortunately our home inspector gave us great information on how we could prevent the mice from getting in. That is when we met Rid-O-Mice who helped us protect our largest investment.
