ICF walls don’t attract pests, don’t give them shelter, and make it hard for bugs like termites to reach wood. In Florida’s humid, pest-prone environment, ICF homes create a sealed structure that naturally resists infestation and limits long-term pest damage. ICF Construction Changes the Game for Bug-Proof Building in Florida Florida’s heat, humidity, and high termite activity make pest control a structural issue. What’s inside your walls matters just as much as what’s outside.  ICF construction changes the game by creating a home bugs can’t easily enter or survive in, no chemicals, just smarter design. Here’s why it works: No cavities for bugs to hide or nest in EPS foam doesn’t feed pests or hold moisture Reinforced concrete core acts as a solid barrier Termites must tunnel through a foot of foam to reach wood Sealed, airtight builds keep moisture and bugs out Reduces weak points like wall voids, sill plates, and soffits ICF isn’t a magic fix, but with smart design and planning, it offers long-term protection in one of the toughest climates for pest control. If you’re building in Florida, it’s worth knowing where ICF shines, and where it still needs a little help. Let’s walk through both.
