π This tiny hole = a big rat problem.
In the UK, broken air vents are one of the TOP ways rats get into homes.
One cracked air brick is all it takes. Rats can fit through a gap the size of a 50p and will chew it bigger in one night.
It leads straight under your floorboards.
Don't block them completely - your property needs ventilation to prevent damp. What you need is a stainless steel vent cover / rat-proof mesh fitted correctly.
If you've got a broken vent, get it checked before something moves in for winter.
