What happens here

This step involves replacing an old, potentially broken, or less efficient plastic dryer vent with the new Rodent Stoppers magnetic dryer vent. The typical process includes unscrewing or carefully prying off the existing vent cover, especially if it's painted over or sealed. Once the old vent is removed, the area should be cleaned. The new magnetic dryer vent is then secured in its place, typically by screwing it into the wall or siding. This upgrade effectively 'rodent-proofs' the house, providing a durable and effective barrier against pests and improving the overall efficiency and safety of the dryer system.

Goal: Successfully replace the old dryer vent cover with the new magnetic model.
