Why not have the small vents installed on each side of the door on the bottom? They work real good too.

i'd say yes, i agree. some of my outdoor lizard friends have found a way to sneak in, even when i thought everything was solid. it goes to show where there's a will, there's a way. i get them out & they want back in when i'm not looking.

The really bad thing is when they are in, they can't find enough insects to eat so they end up dying and drying up in some corner of the house. I suppose, IDEALLY, that IF a hardware store sold a LIVE trap for them - then they could be released back into the yard where they do good eating insects.

Have learnt a lot in this thread, but still pondering that "rule" about hot air rising. If it's hotter inside the garage than out and there's a gap at the bottom, will the hotter air inside the garage agree to follow said rule and refuse to move laterally prior to gaining the opportunity to rise? Would this involve supervision by Maxwell's demon? Always looking to learn.

It does seem that the solutions generally don't seem to be "worth" the efforts, and I *know* that both of us would eventually drive through the screens.

Couldn't you use the sticky paper for that?

Well.........maybe. The problem is that the lizards, (cameleons, geckos or whatever their name is) have a way of detaching their tails easily and if their foot were caught maybe they would bite it off like a mouse would?

I wouldn't bother installing vents. They are not very effective and they weaken the door.

Don’t you mean weakening that panel? Actually it sheet metal over metal frame. Unless you cut the frame I don’t see how it weaken the garage door? :shrug:
