Inspection in Long Beach, WA a few years back revealed something very interesting... upon entry into the crawl space there was a fine dust, but it wasn't dust that appeared to have come from wood. Looking up, all we could see was aluminum faced foam insulation. While the inspection process typically doesn't "disturb insulation", as the Standards of Practice say, there was something that didn't seem right and our curiosity got the better of us. We pulled back the facing to reveal thousands of Carpenter Ants which had decided to take up residence in the foam insulation.
