if i choose to keep the current set up....how could i best protect against pests entering?

it is a steep picthed roof with no gable end vents

here is what im talking about you can see a light strip under the words i put into the photo... that is an almost uniform one inch gap down both sides of the roof. fyi there are two mushroom cap vents, and there are no under soffit vents... it is raining today and except for one spot where the gap is filled with something like shims, everything is dry...only the shimmed spot has a little water coming in... note: the nob and tube wiring isnt live Click to Enlarge 35.45 KB

I should have mentioned that I am renovating and it is at the bottom of numerous walls in the house. I had it removed from the attic by professionals. I can't afford to gut the house. In your opinion when I finish the floors and put the baseboards on will it be safe? I guess I could have an air test done...

I just bought an 80 plus year old house. It had vermiculite with asbestos in the attic that was removed last week. With the super clean attic space I can now see daylight at the eaves...I think this line of venting was under insulation before. Is this a vent? Was it put there on purpose or is it a bad sign that the roof is coming off? If it is meant to be there, any tips on how to handle the re insulation?

thanks for the advice
