TAP insulation (which is short for thermal, acoustical, pest control) tackles two key problems at once: it provides excellent attic insulation to reduce your energy bills and outstanding pest control. This is another one of Turner’s comprehensive pest control services in Jacksonville, and our fully trained technicians are licensed to install TAP insulation in the area. This eco-friendly type of insulation material contains a unique form of pesticide that keeps commonly found insects away from your attic.
Here’s how it works. A specialized form of borate is added to the paper fibers of the insulation material, providing pest control benefits. This borate substance is safely used by pest management professionals inside and outside of homes to kill insects. This makes our TAP insulation service in Jacksonville a safe and environmentally friendly option for your pest control needs.
Better yet: this pest control insulation outperforms traditional forms in just about every category.
This pest control insulation is a loose-fill substance that’s composed of recycled paper that is diverted from landfills. It’s reduced in size and, after being fed into a disc mill, has the consistency of cotton, which is ideal for being blown into attics and wall voids with specialized machines as insulation. As a result, this insulation functions as a pesticide (EPA #89140-1).
TAP attic insulation in Jacksonville can be installed in new structures or blown over existing insulation. As an insulation material, it keeps homes warmer in the wintertime and cooler in the summertime, helping to reduce energy costs. Common household pests that TAP insulation controls include ants, booklice, centipedes, crickets, darkling beetles, earwigs, millipedes, roaches, silverfish, sow bugs, and more.
Additional benefits include how Jacksonville TAP insulation protects against mold and mildew and provides excellent acoustical control as well as fire resistance. This pest control insulation bears the ENERGY STAR® Seal and Insulate Mark while being UL Classified and, when you choose TAP attic insulation in Jacksonville for your home, you’ll have permanent pest protection with a lifetime warranty.
Is the current insulation material in your attic damaged? When this happens, it can reduce the insulation’s effectiveness and, sometimes, even create hazardous conditions. Or, if your home has fiberglass insulation, this soft, fluffy material can enter your soffits, which can also reduce the overall performance of the attic insulation.
Your Turner Pest Control technician can perform a professional inspection of your attic and evaluate the condition of your insulation. They can also determine if small animals and insects are there, which can create additional hazards.
Here are just some of the reasons why removing and replacing your attic insulation can make good sense. First, the insulation could be damaged by an animal presence and, when that occurs, humans exposed to their fresh urine, droppings, saliva, or nesting materials can become infected with diseases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Diseases and parasites carried by these wild, free-ranging creatures can include fleas, ticks, lice, mites, tuberculosis, histoplasmosis, and encephalitis with children and pets being the most susceptible.
Even when animal droppings are moved or air flows through them, airborne spores can enter the body through inhalation, ears, and eyes. Odor can also be a problem. Animals and their waste can attract mildew, mold, bacteria, and more, and these microorganisms can continue to breed.
Plus, when insulation is disturbed or damaged, your energy bills can increase, costing you money. This disturbance can also create an environment where moisture damage is more likely to occur. When insulation is uneven, this can also cost you money because your HVAC system has to work harder; leaky ductwork is also a culprit.
