To all sifus, would want to ask your advice and knowledge regarding Cove Lighting.

We recently discovered an infestation of spiders near our cove lightings. I climbed up and discovered that the cove is exposed to the insides of the ceilings as shown in the picture. Logically, insects such as spiders can easily come out from those holes.

Am I right to assume that it's not supposed to be done this way? Want to get more opinions before talking to my contractors about this.


Cheers!

if want to close up that hole, just tape it

easy

spiders or what its common

maybe every 2 or 3 months climb with ladder clean the area with a broom

my old house also smtg similar

caz u actually cant notice at all unless u purpose climb up n see

Thanks for the reply! Was wondering whether is this the right way to do it or did my contractor slacked? Cause if it's supposed to be properly sealed, I'll get them to do it.

im also not sure the correct way

but this is definitely the easier way

and we cant see it also
