My goal is to keep hot/cool air from seeping between floors. Is canned spray foam the way to go? Any recommendations? Pest resistance is a bonus.

Expanding spray foam.

Don’t do that, there’s wires and pipes in there. If anything needs maintenance or replacing it’s a nightmare with expanding foam gluing everything together.

Just put in some steel mesh on the bottom, fill with isolation materials, lock it in with more steel mesh and put a nice cover plate over it.

You can cut it with a knife or a jab saw. It’s used in AC installation all the time.

Once dried it’s quite easy to just rip foam out

Also a huge fire hazard, don’t do this.
