Number One In Pest Control The demand by consumers for green building practices continues to rise. Consumers want their new homes or offices to reflect their desired design while respecting the environment now and in the future. TAP® Pest Control Insulation provides professionals such as pest management professionals, installation contractors, and both commercial and residential builders with the flexibility to install a superior thermal insulation product as well as a protective barrier against pests. Thermal, Acoustical, Pest Control (TAP®) Insulation is a thermally and acoustically superior insulation product that is environmentally sensitive while permanently controlling pests. It is made principally from recycled paper that is diverted from landfills. The paper is reduced in size and then fed through a disc mill, whose exceedingly fine tolerances explode the fibers into a soft, gray, cotton-boll-like substance. The product is infused with borates through a proprietary process. TAP® Pest Control Insulation is a ‘loose-fill’ insulation, so it is installed by blowing the product into attics on top of existing insulation or into attics and wall voids of new construction. It will reduce heating & cooling costs up to 30% annually by keeping structures warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Customers may also qualify for tax credits. TAP® Pest Control Insulation also controls common household pests that nest in attics and walls like roaches, ants, termites, and silverfish. TAP®, therefore, provides a long-term, preventative approach helping protect structures from many common household insects while reducing energy consumption. How Does TAP® Pest Control Insulation Work? TAP® Pest Control Insulation is not only an innovative approach to pest control, it is one the best performing insulations available to today. Outperforming traditional insulation by 32% and, as a denser, loose-fill insulation, TAP® Pest Control Insulation fills in all of the nooks and crannies traditional insulation rolls do not. The science tells the story, but simply put, TAP® Pest Control Insulation just works better! Not only does TAP® Pest Control Insulation outperform other insulation from a thermal and acoustical standpoint, it takes less energy to make it. Only TAP® Pest Control Insulation, however, gives your customers the triple benefit of 32% greater efficiency when compared to traditional insulation as well as superior acoustical benefits and the added value of pest control. It is simple…no other insulation product comes close! v Editorial provided by Olson’s Pest Control Andersen® Rated the highest quality windows and patio doors by professional builders.
