      Q:can a wrap this around the end of the gutter where the water comes out to prevent rodents crawling inside the gutter? (kind of like a mesh endcap)

      Answer This Question

      A:  Great idea! I would suggest stuffing the leaf strainer into the gutter endcap, not wrapping it around the outside. It may stay on more tightly that way. You should probably check the leaf stainer periodically to check that there are not leaves clogging up your gutter.

            A:  It probably could, but I'm not sure how you would anchor it in place. They are flexible and I think you could squeeze/pinch the bottom open end and be able to fit/wedge it up the end of the downspout to prevent rodents from entering. (If I am understanding what you are trying to do.)

              A:  It could be used in this application. The mesh can be bent. I think the problem you will have is attaching it to gutter. We sell a gutter guard that is a mesh that is heavier gauge that may work better.

                A:  These are universal for 2x3 and 3x4. You could use on a 2" if you trim away some of the material and bend back to a circular shape to fit in hole.

                  Keeps Downspouts Clean
                  Multiple pine trees overhang my house and pole barn which means needles clogging up the gutters and making their way into undergroud drains. These do a great job of stopping the debris from making it to the downspouts

                    Good if you want to constanly clean the gutter
                    It works well preventing the downspout from clogging but does not prevent the gutters from overflowing, or stagnant water in the gutter, unless the gutter is constantly cleaned.

                      Absolutely would not recommend this. I read the reviews about them clogging up gutters and thought they were exaggerating, but nope--- within a matter of weeks my gutters completely backed up and water was running off the sides during a storm. These basically allowed the debris from nearby trees to form a dam at every downspout and the water in the gutters could not drain. I had to clean everything out by hand. They were easy to install but they literally cause the thing they're supposed to prevent.

                        I used this at the end of a downspout extension. Great for keeping chipmunks out of downspouts. Also flexible to fit round or rectangular downspouts.
