You might be wondering about the rationale behind a pest control company installing insulation or what sets TAP® Insulation apart from other materials. For those contemplating whether this service is a good fit for your home, read on for the responses to any questions you may have!
What is TAP® Insulation?
TAP® Insulation stands for Thermal Acoustical Pest Control insulation. It’s a form of loose-fill cellulose that’s chemically treated to act as a pesticide.
How Does TAP® Insulation Kill Pests?
The cellulose found in TAP® insulation is infused with boric acid, a naturally occurring mineral that poses no threat to pets, children, or adults unless consumed excessively. However, when smaller insect pests encounter the treated insulation, the powder enters their system during grooming, causing an inability to process the acid and leading to their eventual demise due to malnutrition or dehydration.
What Pests Can TAP® Insulation Kill?
TAP® Insulation proves highly effective in eradicating a diverse range of smaller insect pests, spanning from Formosan termites and ants to larger species such as snails, roaches, and beetles.
Is TAP® Insulation Environmentally Friendly?
TAP® Insulation demonstrates environmental friendliness on multiple fronts. The cellulose utilized is composed of 80% recycled material. By choosing TAP® Insulation, you play an active role in preventing the accumulation of alternative, less-biodegradable materials in landfills.
How is TAP® Insulation Installed?
TAP® Insulation consists of loose-fill cellulose that can be effortlessly blown into attics or the wall voids of recently built properties. It also seamlessly covers pre-existing insulation, offering enhanced protection without any added inconvenience.
How Does TAP® Insulation Rank as an Insulator?
TAP® Insulation not only stands out as a durable and powerful pesticide but also as a high-quality home insulator. Its ability to impede heat transfer contributes to a cooler home in summer and a warmer one in winter. Despite lacking the R-rating of spray foam, it still surpasses fiberglass in terms of noise-canceling capabilities.
