Have you ever had insects eat it? I had lined the Chicken house roof with
it
and Beetles laid eggs in it and the grubs ate it! So I don't dare use it.

No, never had bugs infest the syrofoam under my pumpkins. I use the 2" thick
stuff.
Florida has the record on gigantic bugs and our populations of insects and
such are outrageous due to year round warmth, so I wonder why they infested
your styrofoam hen house roof yet don't come near my foam? Could it be
they're after a good, dry and warm medium for hatching eggs? My patch is
sprayed often, so the bugs wouldn't want to set up homemaking in such a wet,
hostile place.
