So kind of a two fold question. We rent in a duplex, built in the 60s and never really updated. We have a front door with a gap on the bottom big enough to let light in and the weather stripping on the side is cracking and flaking. My roommate replaced the weather stripping with the same stripping they use for their camper shell and called it good. Is this okay or should we get weather stripping specifically for a door? Second, there are still ants coming in at the corners of the door. Any ideas for sealing these areas? Thanks in advance.

Weather stripping is ok if 1) it stops the weather, and 2) it looks halfway decent. There's not much more to it than that.
Ants can't be stopped with weather stripping. There's always another way. I'd use some control granules outside the building and be sure there aren't any attractants inside.
