Sometimes I think Frenchy is a conversational AI trained with a very odd dataset.

This is berkeleying hilarious. 

In reply to OHSCrifle :

Then order your ICF with borax. Insects or rodents eat a little and then die. 

Borax is not effective on termites. Termites are a significant problem for ICFs   Some states restrict their use. 

Article on termites and ICFs

Termites are a big risk in a pretty large area of the country.

There are installation techniques that help, but they add complexity. 

In reply to frenchyd :

This would be a lot easier to discuss in a thread about ICFs, instead of a thread where the OP said he didn’t want to use them. 

In reply to SVreX :

I waited a couple of days to respond.  In case the OP or others wanted to add something. 
I started a thread, Other choices. We can talk there.
