How do you protect from termite or carpenter ant infestation between the sill plate and an ICF basement? I am in zone 7b.

The termites could use the foam as a pathway into the house. Without stripping the foam from the top part of the basement wall, how are the termites forced to the exterior?

Tadd,
Code requirements for termite protection vary widely, depending on your location. I suggest that you contact your local code official and the manufacturer of the ICFs that you will be using.
