Can I patch a Dryer Vent Hose with duct tape?

A bird made a nest inside my dryer vent. I cleaned the nest out, but the bird poked three holes in the vent hose, the biggest is about the size of a dime. The hose is the flexible metal kind.

I intend on completely remove the hose and replace it with the solid metal piping, but I will not be able to do it for a few weeks. I would like to patch the holes by wrapping duct tapes around the hose as a temp fix (using real duct tape, the foil kind.) I can reach the damaged area through a hole in the drywall.

I need to wash clothes, so I need some kind of fix.

The foil tape should even meet code (here) since it isn't flammable. It is what is recommended.

It could be considered a permanent fix if you can get it to seal well on that metal flex stuff .

We even use foil tape on furnace exhaust. But I can't be sure it is the exact same type you are using.

Good Luck
