I have a dandy drier vent. The port comes out through the wall then turns up to open vertically. There is a plastic can like device over the end inside a covered sleeve. When the dryer is on it raises the can like structure and the air escapes around the open bottom.So far and it is about 18 years I haven't yet seen an icicle form on it or known it to freeze either open or closed.
Only trouble is that the laundry is on the second floor so it is a pain to climb up to check and insure it is clean.

I'd be interested if it was the rat bait or that sledge hammer that got the critter. I forgot to ask before. there is different type of outdoor vent covers. is yours with the one big flapper or is it a series of little plastic ones? those big flappers a rat can pry open easy . not that they would not chew into the other plastic ones.
