Screen for Oven Vent

On the hot water panel I could use high heat epoxy or caulking and fasten it to the inside. Am I missing something?
I have found screens for all my "vents" except one that must be 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 for the heat outlet for my stove. Am I overdoing it by covering this vent?

Just came today or so I was told. Not home from work yet

And thanks to you I've ordered and installed screens for my water heater, fridge, and heater. Good stuff

Good advice. I put a dog flea collar in the furnace compartment and water heater compartment once per year and that does the trick for me. Screen only over the furnace exhaust port.
