Ridge vents and gable vents

[spasm3]

Heat buildup around the soffit area would suggest that there is not enough air flow through the soffits. You might want to go through and clean the soffits out as well as rake back any insulation that may be blocking the airflow.

I can see light from all the soffits, and there were blockers used to keep blown insulation out of them.

When my roof was replaced a few years ago, i had roof ridge vents installed, and the roof fans that kept failing removed.

My question is, should i block the gable vents on each end of the house with plastic, so the air moves more from the soffits, to the ridge vent, or does it matter?

Thanks!

Yes.
