T.A.P Insulation FAQs

1. What is T.A.P Pest Control Insulation?

T.A.P (Thermal, Acoustical, Pest Control) is primarily made from ground-up newspaper (cellulose) treated with a specialized borate solution that gives it pest-control properties.

2. Is T.A.P insulation really an EPA-registered pesticide?

Yes. T.A.P Pest Control Insulation is an EPA-registered pesticide (EPA Reg. #89140-1) and must be applied according to label directions.

3. What pests can it help control?

T.A.P is known to control a broad list of common household pests (per labeling and published materials), including ants, cockroaches, silverfish, and termites, among others.

4. Does T.A.P control mice, rats, or squirrels?

No—those claims are not on the EPA label. However, T.A.P does not act as a food source for rodents.

5. Where is T.A.P installed?

Most commonly in attics, and in some cases other building cavities depending on the project and local codes. It’s installed as blown-in cellulose insulation.

6. How does it help with energy efficiency?

When properly installed, it can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 20% by improving your home’s thermal envelope.

7. Is it safe for families and pets?

T.A.P uses borate, a naturally occurring active ingredient described as a less invasive solution for pest elimination, and it’s registered for use as directed. We’ll review any safety and access recommendations with you before and after install.

8. Do I need a licensed professional to install it?

Because it’s an EPA-registered pesticide, the installing company typically must maintain a valid pest control license, and providers are trained to evaluate and install it appropriately.

9. When is T.A.P insulation a good fit?

It’s a great fit when you want to improve attic insulation and add a pest-control layer—especially after attic cleanouts/restorations or when you’re proactively upgrading comfort and efficiency.
