Is there an insulation product that also prevents pest issues?

Attic insulation is important for maintaining a consistent indoor temperature and preventing costly energy bills. Unfortunately, attic insulation is also a frequent target of pests infestations, with many species of insects nesting in it. Fortunately, there is one type of attic insulation that can also prevent pest issues in the attic: TAP Pest Control Insulation.

“TAP” stands for thermal, acoustical, pest control; this accurately describes the benefits of this type of insulation. TAP insulation is able to keep homes in Tennessee warmer during winter and cooler during summer, as well as reducing noise from the outside world. Most significantly, TAP insulation is designed to prevent and control pest problems that often afflict attics. When this unique form of insulation is manufactured, a specialized form of borate is added to the paper fibers. If insects attempt to crawl through TAP insulation, they will become coated with the borate. When insects ingest borate, it disrupts their digestive system and causes them to starve to death.

TAP Pest Control Insulation is effective against many species of insects that often become household pests, including ants, termites, cockroaches, silverfish, centipedes, millipedes, boxelder bugs, crickets, stink bugs, bat mites, ladybugs, and earwigs. Rest assured, TPA is an EPA-registered eco-friendly pesticide which will not harm your family or the local ecosystem, only nuisance insects.
