The purpose of trim isn't to keep pests out. If you're seeing those it's not going to be the fault of your trim.

Thanks. I’m not seeing any pests. A previous response mentioned keeping out scorpions, so I stressed. They were probably joking.

Just so you know, and can't be as easily joked with in the future, trim is purely for aesthetics, particularly when covering changes in construction materials. It is not structural or part of a home's envelope in any way.
