One of the things we did and you may want to think about doing eventually is insulate the floor. Once insulated we completely covered the insulation with luan plywood sheeting. We then took it one step further and went over all the seams with an exterior grade urethane sealant and wood strapping. We get zero critters entering our home now. The added insulation keeps the floors much warmer in the spring and fall and quiets everything down, especially wind noise quite a bit! Trouble and critter free going on 7 years now!
