How to fill this gap?
I have a half-inch gap between the foundation of my garage and my
house. We're having some trouble with spiders, and have seen some mouse-droppings so I'm trying to fill any cracks and crevices that may be inviting to these pests. What should I use to fill this? Is cement a good option or do I need something that will allow this space to expand/contract with the change in seasons? If I need something less rigid then what should I use? Here's a photo of the gap. http://www.flickr.com/photos/31679241@N00/499608030 Thanks. |

I would start by using an expanding foam to fill most of the gap and then use a calk type substance for the final surface fill. -- Joseph Meehan Dia 's Muire duit |
