I need to replace the strip between where by screen and window meets to keep the bugs out. I have no idea of what the product is called but I know it has adhesive on one side and a brush like material on the other to keep the bugs for getting in. Does anyone know what this strip is called and where I can get it? I am guessing home depot but I would love to know what it is called.

Thank you

It is wool pile or window pile or pile weatherstripping and it is available with a self adhesive back. A local glass shop may be a better place to find it rather than HD. You can also use a self adhesive foam.

Funny you would suggest self adhesive foam because that is just what I used until I could find the other. Thanks so much
