You use both. 

Cut the mesh and fix to the perforated profiles, then fix the profiles?

 

I'd expect that to exist as a product already. Maybe in more insecty countries.

On this subject again - anyone used these things instead of wire mesh? Although I've used stainless mesh before for this task, it was a significant faff.

 

And you're putting it everywhere the cladding has an edge - top, bottom, around windows & doors etc?

 

One of my current projects today

With rainscreen cladding and a strongly ventilated cavity I have heard that insects don't like to live in there.
