RE: how do you find all those holes

Look, especially where two different materials meet, at the mortar joints (if any) around the foundation, where the sill plate meets the foundation, etc. If you have a basement you could walk around with a candle close to the outside walls and watch for where the flame bends away from the walls and that indicates not only a potential place for vermin to enter but also a place you are loosing heat.
