FAQs
What is T.A.P. insulation?
T.A.P. stands for Thermal Acoustical Pest Control Insulation. It’s a unique type of insulation that not only helps control pests but also improves your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. By keeping a more consistent indoor temperature, TAP® can reduce heating and cooling costs year-round.
What sets T.A.P apart is that it’s the only insulation registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for insect control, while also carrying the ENERGY STAR® label and UL Classification. That means it delivers proven energy performance while also working as a long-term pest defense.
T.A.P insulation is treated with a specialized form of borate, which targets insects such as ants, cockroaches, termites, silverfish, and other common household pests. Once installed, it continues working behind the walls and in the attic, helping to eliminate and prevent pest infestations without the need for repeated chemical applications.
In short, T.A.P combines the benefits of superior insulation with the peace of mind of built-in pest protection, making it a smart upgrade for homeowners who want comfort, efficiency, and protection in one solution.
What pests does T.A.P. insulation control?
T.A.P. insulation kills ants, cockroaches, termites, silverfish, and other insects that attempt to nest in or travel through your attic or walls. It does not control rodents.
Is T.A.P. insulation safe for my family and pets?
Yes, it’s made from recycled materials and treated with a borate-based agent that is safe for people and pets but lethal to insects.
Do I need to remove my old insulation before installing T.A.P.?
Not always. In some cases, T.A.P. can be layered over existing insulation. We’ll assess your current setup and recommend the best approach during your inspection.
How long does T.A.P. insulation last?
T.A.P. insulation is designed to last the lifetime of your home, continuing to provide both insulation and pest control without needing to be reapplied.
Does T.A.P. insulation help lower energy bills?
Yes. T.A.P helps keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter, which can reduce heating and cooling costs by 20–40% depending on your home’s efficiency.
Does T.A.P. insulation replace the need for pest control service?
T.A.P is an excellent preventive layer against many insects, but it doesn’t replace the need for regular pest control. It works best as part of an integrated pest management plan.
