Mice problem

Post image

We have a summit and recently battling mice. Could we cover this with metal?

Get a weber cover they seal pretty tight. They sell these rodent repellant balls on amazon. They smell like peppermint. Place a couple of those in the cabinets.

yeah that weber cover works good, just make sure the grill is totally cooled down before you put it on, melted cover smell attracts mice even more somehow

No, you see those screens there behind the knobs? Those are to allow air into the fuel mixture. Covering that with metal would mess us your flame. You could consider some thicker gauge screen mesh though if it's an issue.

Also, spraying straight pine-sol on the doors and inside the cabinets will keep mice away for a while.

And clean it after every cook.

Idk anything about covering that part w metal but my stance has always been exclusion is just OK with mice. But they’ll always find a way. You gotta kill the queen bro! And with mice, just set enough traps to take out the family. I use the water bucket trap personally and it works quite well.
