Pest control insulation is made up of dry cellulose fibers that are treated with pesticides. The specific type of insulation Royal Pest Services installs is called TAP (Thermal Acoustical Pest Control). TAP has an EPA-registered pesticide that is made up of recycled paper, and contains borate which is disruptive to pests.
The insulation is usually blown into attics, walls, and other inaccessible areas, providing a barrier against pests. During installation, we add-on to your existing insulation, increasing the overall R-value, which means making it a better insulator for your home, keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Several factors contribute to a home’s energy efficiency. We’ve seen up to a 30% reduction in a home’s energy bill after installation. This is due to TAP insulation having exceptional thermal efficiency. The recycled newsprint used in the insulation contains tiny air pockets that trap and slow down heat transfer. This means, during hot summers, TAP insulation helps keep interiors cool by preventing the intrusion of external heat. In the colder months, it acts as a barrier, preventing heat from escaping.
Beyond thermal efficiency, TAP insulation is renowned for its acoustic insulation properties. The dense structure of the material absorbs sound waves, reducing noise levels and creating a quieter indoor environment.
This makes TAP insulation an ideal choice for residential and commercial spaces where noise reduction is a priority.
