This is for a rental unit, so I'm trying to keep the cost low, while also sealing it away from silverfish. I have very fine steel wool on hand as well as a tube of DAP ultra clear flexible all purpose sealant.

You are a landlord, treat it like the business expense it is and hire a contractor.

I'm actually a tenant trying not to deal with my landlord. But I fully agree with your take on it.

In that case it’s even better. Check your jurisdiction, but you might be able to get a contractor to fix it then charge your landlord.

What would be the rationale there? Bug prevention?
