Jarrods Provides T•A•P® Pest Control Insulation

JARROD'S PEST CONTROL

T•A•P® stands for:

  • Thermal

  • Acoustical

  • Pest Control

These three primary benefits of TAP Pest Control Insulation help deliver comfort, protect your family’s health, and save money.  

As an EPA-registered pesticide, TAP Pest Control Insulation, first and foremost, controls common pests that invade the home through the attic such as Ants, Bat bugs, Booklice, Boxelder Bugs, Centipedes, Cockroaches, crickets, Darkling Beetles, Dermestids, Earwigs, Firebrats, Kudzu Bugs, Lady Beetles, Millipedes, Pillbugs, Silverfish, Slugs, Snails, Sowbugs, Stink bugs, and Termites (including Formosan Termites).

As a cellulose insulation, TAP Pest Control Insulation is produced by grinding-up old newspapers into small enough pieces where the paper fibers begin connecting to create small air pockets within the insulation. These small air pockets and the unique characteristics of the cellulose paper fibers are the key to the superior performance of TAP Pest Control Insulation.

Both qualities help achieve a comfort level unsurpassed by other insulation products on the market.

How Much TAP® Pest Control Insulation Do I Need?

Most homeowners are surprised to learn that their home may not have as much insulation as it should.  If your home was built before 2007, there is a good chance your home is under insulated.  In fact, most homes built in 2014 are being built with more insulation in the attic than in 2010. It is even more surprising for homeowners to learn that their home built in 2014 only included the minimum required level of insulation and not the recommended level of insulation.

The building code requirements for insulation in new homes and the recommendations from the US Department of Energy have changed over time as a result of increases in the cost of energy. The long-term savings potential increases for homes with more insulation in their attic. As a result of the changes in the cost of energy, there is an opportunity for most homeowners to save money on their heating and cooling bills by adding insulation in their attic. Everyone likes to have more money in their wallet at the end of you the year. You can as well!

So, how do you know if you have enough insulation in your attic?  Simple.  Just measure the depth of the insulation with a ruler and compare the amount that you observe to the simple table below. Remember to identify the correct climate zone below in which you live. If you have less than the recommended level of insulation in your attic, then there is an opportunity to lower your heating and cooling bills by adding additional TAP® Pest Control Insulation to your attic.
