Attic Insulation (TAP)

Rodents, raccoons, and insects can destroy your attic insulation, contaminating it with droppings, urine, and nesting material. Damaged insulation reduces energy efficiency, creates health hazards, and attracts more pests. Replacing it is essential for a healthy, efficient home.  Armory Pest Defense offers complete attic insulation removal and replacement using TAP (Thermal Acoustical Pest Control) insulation. TAP is an EPA-registered insulation product made from recycled paper that's treated with a borate-based pest control agent. It kills common pests like ants, roaches, silverfish, and termites on contact, while providing superior thermal and sound insulation.  Our technicians remove contaminated insulation, sanitize and deodorize the attic space, seal pest entry points, and install fresh TAP insulation. The result is a cleaner, more energy-efficient home with built-in pest protection.

What is TAP insulation?

TAP (Thermal Acoustical Pest Control) insulation is an EPA-registered insulation made from recycled paper treated with borate. It provides thermal insulation, sound dampening, and kills common pests like ants, roaches, silverfish, and termites on contact.

How do I know if my attic insulation needs replacement?

Signs include rodent droppings or urine stains in the attic, a musty odor, uneven temperatures in your home, rising energy bills, or visible damage to insulation material.

Is TAP insulation safe?

Yes. Borate-based treatments are naturally occurring minerals that are safe for humans and pets. TAP insulation is EPA-registered and meets all building code requirements.

How much can TAP insulation save on energy bills?

TAP insulation can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 30%, depending on the current condition of your attic insulation and home energy efficiency.

Does TAP insulation really kill pests?

Yes. The borate treatment in TAP insulation is lethal to soft-bodied insects like ants, cockroaches, silverfish, and termites. Pests that come in contact with or ingest the insulation fibers are eliminated.
