Hi All - looking for some help with a problem in the garage. We've been experiencing a mice problem and the exterminator is telling us that the mice are coming in via the garage. There is a 4-5" gap between the dry wall and the concrete floor. See attached picture. Behind the drywall, there is a 2-3" space (no insulation) between the drywall and the interior wall of the house. It looks as if the mice have been entering the house via the space and literally dropping into the area behind the wall into the basement directly below (we've caught a few there). I don't want to keep on throwing out more mouse traps and killing mice everyday so my questions are:
1) Is there a reason why the drywall doesn't go all the way down to the concrete floor - water/moisture?
2) What's the best way to seal this space off?
3) Should the space between the garage dry wall and interior home wall be insulated? If yes, how?
Appreciate any and all advice!
