place the water pipes for the water heater went through the sheet rock. And any gaps around where the heater vents went through the sheet rock. I made sure all the vents/screen over/in the ports through the foundation walls were intact and had no holes or gaps. Ditto the screen vents under the roof eaves too.
'course, steel wool won't work for every thing so what you did with the garage door was the right thing to do.
Essentially you want to make the house/garage a fortress impenetrable to rodents or other creatures. A friend ignored the broken screens that covered the holes through the foundation walls and ended up with a nice collection of feral cats living under her house. Took some time to get rid of them. Have to (humane) trap them and make sure all are gone (and there are no litters of kittens remaining) before sealing up the foundation.
