What Is T.A.P.? Insulating Your Home While Preventing Pests

You have probably heard about T.A.P. insulation from a trade magazine, friend, or pest control company. But are you aware of the full list of features and added benefits this product provides?

Thermal Acoustical Pest Control Insulation (T.A.P.) is an innovative method to insulate homes & buildings. The insulation is made from recycled paper mixed with a liquid natural borates.

Unlike traditional insulations that use rolls of fiberglass, T.A.P layers onto surfaces like paint. The smallest cracks and crevices will be seal to reduce energy loss and keeps pest from entering your structure.

While the borates toxicity levels are too low to harm people or pets, the levels are lethal to insects such as ants, termites, and cockroaches. The borate attacks their digestive system.

And since this form of insulation has pest control ability, the product must be installed by a licensed pest control structure. The features and benefits outweigh the cost of this revolutionary product.
