I have a contractor question fer ya! That spray yellow foam stuff, I've heard it can give problems with moisture retention and even cause mold problems? What's your take on it? If someone were to build a house would you use the stuff? This past summer there was an attack of bees on a neighborhood right near mine. The FireDept called me (riot, I know), and when I went to look at the hive, as I was driving there with a buddy, I said "it's foam, it's always foam they used foam." ---ya buddy, that's exactly what happened. Those bees were happy as clams in the walls for years....then for whatever reason, the owner thought to just seal them in (with expanding foam).... My buddy said "shit, damn, it's exactly as you said...I didn't know what you were talking about, but it was foam, they tried to seal them in and they attacked the neighborhood!" The guy who did the spraying acted all innocent and stuff...ya, right buddy. That bee entrance was so caked with foam it looked like some strange art creation. The bees never allowed the foam to dry. We never ended up removing it...don't know what happened in the end. They were fine up until...the foam monster tried to seal them in!

[@628DirtRooster]

Urethane foam insulation definitely does retain moisture yet it really only poses a problem if there is ever a leak of any kind. The problem is that leaks don't always show up immediately and the foam can hide a leak that would otherwise show in ceiling stains and such. The biggest problem we've found with it down here is that it makes an incredible environment for termites. I used to handle large loss claims for Terminix and it wasn't unusual to find damaged framing on an entire side of a house that was only discovered when the termites finally chewed little holes in the drywall or window trim. The "R" value is great but I would never insulate a home with it, not even a metal studded home. The termites will tunnel between the foam and the back of the drywall up to the roof trusses and eat those.

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

@@628DirtRooster I had NO idea the termites love it so much. I'm so glad I learned of this. NO way I'll ever use that stuff. It sounds like it's basically "termite food with insulation properties." Thanks again for the thorough response!

Hey guys up here in Ontario Canada I’ve noticed bees in ridged foam insulation for years man they love this stuff. Our latest building code calls for 1´´ ridged foam board on all exterior walls.

SHOULD NOT BE CALLED “COMFORT CARE‼️” Should be a prison sentence but that’s just my opinion. He only agreed to it for pain meds Because even though he was in so much pain he couldn’t breathe well enough with the ventilator for them to give him pain medication so he suffered bad and after he agreed they still didn’t give him the medication they agreed to when he gave them the stipulation of I’ll choose comfort care if you sedate me with Adivan and an opiate in his vein as he was on a feedingtube.
