The Pest Post

At A1 Termite and Pest Control, we have a product that is called TAP Insulation.  We often are asked how T•A•P helps to insulate a home.  

First, let’s define what T•A•P stands for.  TAP stands for Thermal Acoustical Pest Control insulation. T∙A∙P is a revolutionary green insulation for new and existing homes & buildings made from recycled paper that incorporates a borate-based pest control into the product.

Not only does T∙A∙P outperform traditional insulation in nearly every category, it also controls pests such as ants, termites, and cockroaches at the same time!

This fully recycled, blown-in insulation can be installed on top of your existing insulation to significantly increase the energy efficiency of your home.  T•A•P insulation is much denser than standard insulation, so it also provides a magnificent sound buffer.  

With so many products claiming to be “green” these days, it is often difficult to discern which products truly are environmentally responsible.  When viewed in the context of the entire product life-cycle (from production to operation to disposal), cellulose insulation is one of the greenest building products in the world.  

Cellulose insulation takes less energy to make than other insulation products, is made from 80%+ recycled paper, reduces a home’s carbon footprint by saving energy, and provides no post-installation waste.

T•A•P is the only product labeled by EPA to control insects that also bears an Energy Star label!  Our certified technicians will be happy to come to your home and show you a comparison between T•A•P insulation and the standard “pink panther” style insulation you’re used to.
