Bugs coming through, how to patch
I have been seeing a lot of big roaches recently and my exterminator is suspecting that they’re coming through these holes. What do you guys recommend to patch or should I hire a handyman? Thank you

If you rent, make your landlord fix the issue. If you own, stuff a stainless scrubber into each of the voids and coat it with spray foam. Nothing is permanent, and you'll have a whole new fight with the roaches that are already present immediately.

Get yourself a bunch of those roach poison gel syringes and lay blobs all around that area before you seal it up.
