   Beth,
   I can't find detail 2-00004, but I found detail 2-00003, which I assume is similar. (Here's the link: https://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/cad/detail/wall-section-wood-lap-siding-1-12-rigid-insulation).

   The idea is to screen the ventilation openings at the bottom of the rainscreen gap. You can buy insect screen material in rolls; it cuts easily with heavy-duty scissors or metal shears. Here's link to a website that sells a variety of types of insect screen materials, including fiberglass screening, aluminum screening, and copper screening:

   You should be able to buy rolls of insect screening at any hardware store or lumber yard.

   Beth,
   If you prefer, you can use this product from Cor-a-Vent:

   Beth,

   If you use screen, I would suggest the aluminum because mice can chew through the fibreglas.
