Hello,
We have been having some bug problems in our house recently, so I went outside to investigate how they were getting in. As you can see from the first attached picture, the frame of my house extends a bit past the foundation. I thought the bugs may be entering the home through a crack or two on the underside, so I grabbed a mirror and used it to take a look at the bottom of the overhang (pics 2-4). As you can see in the reflection, most of the bottom of the overhanging area is not sealed fully and it looks like you can see up into my walls (I have a CBS house).
So, I have 2 questions:
1) Should this area be sealed?
2) If so, what is the best way to seal it?
Thanks in advance!
