You will get better results blowing it into the ceiling.Insulating old wall cavities that were not designed to be insulated can lead to serious moisture problems.If the heat is electric then that is your biggest problem.

I opted for the full 9ft basement as crawl spaces here are a major moisture problem.

so I have a house under contract, this is for my primary residence in rock hill sc that I intend to house hack, and in my due diligence period the inspector found evidence of powder post beetles and extremely high moisture under the house and I'm wondering what this could end up costing me if i get it treated and have a vapor barrier put into the house and put up gutters to get this house to qualify for the loan and then it proves the damage is a lot deeper than inspected like into the sub floor i included some pictures to show the damage the inspector found  still have a week and a half till my due diligence is up (2/26/19)the really wet part is the beam at the front of the house around where the front door is 

Termites love moisture.

As @Uriah D. stated, the moisture source is the primary concern.

Hi John,I would probably move on especially on those three accounts;-100 years old, that maintenance on that is incredible -frame house-basement, with our moisture, water table and mold!!!!!

These tend to have plenty of moisture (wood rot) issues which tend to bring along with it, the termites.

These are useful for low-use various building supplies that can be affected by moisture, stuff like drywall tape (especially the composite tapes), fasteners (that weren't sold in the big buckets), various hardware (still in clamshell packaging wherever possible), any sort of rubber or vinyl hose, etc.Larger supplies (rolls of tubing and electrical wire) go in garbage bags.Sheet good like OSB, plywood, cement board, and drywall are a real pain.

Seal every seam / every penetration. 2.
