Evaluate the Existing Attic Insulation
We inspect accessible attic areas to evaluate current insulation, coverage, visible pest evidence and conditions that may affect installation.
Determine Whether T.A.P. Is Appropriate
Recommendations are based on the attic condition, existing insulation, accessibility and the needs of the property.
Add Insulation With Pest-Control Benefits
T.A.P. is a loose-fill cellulose insulation containing an EPA-registered pesticide intended to control qualifying insects listed on its product label.
Support Indoor Comfort and Sound Reduction
Properly installed cellulose insulation may improve thermal performance and help reduce sound transfer. Results depend on the home and existing attic conditions.

Evaluate the Attic
We inspect accessible areas for existing insulation, visible pest evidence, contamination, airflow concerns and installation obstacles.
Plan
Develop the Installation Scope
We determine whether existing material requires attention and develop a plan based on the attic layout and property needs.

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.
Yes. T.A.P Pest Control Insulation is an EPA-registered pesticide (EPA Reg. #89140-1) and must be applied according to label directions.
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.
No—those claims are not on the EPA label. However, T.A.P does not act as a food source for rodents.
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.
When properly installed, it can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 20% by improving your home’s thermal envelope.
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.
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.
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.
Call us at +1 916-299-7372 to schedule an attic inspection. We’ll confirm what your attic needs (sealing, cleanup, removal, or straight installation) and provide a clear plan.
