I wish I had an answer for you, we have the same problem. The dam things have chewed three holes where the roof trusses intersect in the upper section of our birdcage. I will be watching this thread to see if someone has a good solution.

FYI, ace hardware sells a screen patch that is easy to apply and seems to have fixed the holes.
