Cellulose insulation in attic

Every home needs insulation to maintain a comfortable temperature and minimize noise. But what if insulation could do more? What if your insulation could also control pests in your home?  Now, it can!

TAP® Insulation is a state-of-the-art product that combines eco-friendly insulation with a borate-based pest control product that kills pests like termites, cockroaches and ants in homes and businesses. This game-changing insulation product can be used in both new and existing structures and can be easily applied on top of your current insulation.

Florida Pest Control is a licensed installer of this innovative pest-resistant insulation in Florida.

How Does TAP® Pest Resistant Insulation Work?

It’s an eco-friendly form of “blown-in” cellulose insulation that’s been infused with borate. When pests come in contact with the insulation they inadvertently ingest the borate because insects groom themselves. The borate accumulates in their gut, causing them to die of malnutrition or dehydration. Pests cannot build up a tolerance to the borate. This means that once installed, this insulation never needs to be replaced. So long as the insulation is present, it will continue to kill pests that come in contact with it. Ants, termites cockroaches and silverfish are just a few of the many types of insects that this insulation helps control.
