What Is TAP Insulation?
TAP stands for Thermal, Acoustical, Pest Control—a revolutionary form of blown-in cellulose insulation that goes beyond just regulating temperature. Designed for use in attics and wall voids, TAP insulation offers a triple benefit: it keeps your home warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, and noticeably quieter year-round thanks to its sound-dampening properties. But what truly sets TAP apart is its built-in pest control capability.
Infused with a borate-based pesticide, TAP insulation actively works to control a wide range of common household pests including ants, cockroaches, silverfish, termites, and more. As insects come into contact with the treated insulation, the material disrupts their digestive systems, eventually eliminating them—without harming people or pets when properly installed. This makes TAP an ideal choice for homeowners looking for energy-efficient upgrades that double as long-lasting pest prevention. It’s a smart, sustainable solution that adds comfort, protection, and peace of mind all in one installation.
