Pix one shows the open vents, vulnerable to vermin entering.
Pix 2 shows the insertion of "horse hair", used during storage. A piece cut about 2x3" will fit nicely and snugly. Simply pull out when furnace operation is required.
This is the first experiment. Any other ideas?

I, for one, certainly would not intentionally plug up my furnace intake and exhaust like that for any reason.
Why not spend 15 bucks or so at Camping World or some other RV parts supplier and obtain a metal flying insect screen made specifically for your furnace. Properly mounted, you never have to worry about it, other than a visual inspection once in a while. That way you don't run the risk of someone turning on the heater before remembering the air intake and hot exhaust outlets have been plugged. It just might turn out to be a false economy --- at best.
