Revolutionary Insulation Product Provides Pest Control and Cost Savings

July 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Summer is the time in the Triangle when sweltering temperatures mean greater use of air conditioning and HVAC systems.  It's also the time of year when common pests, from house ants to cockroaches, become more active.

A revolutionary product known as TAP Insulation now can address both issues.  

TAP, which stands for "Thermal-Acoustic-Pest Control," is a cellulose, loose-fill insulation product that is infused with borates, or natural mineral salts that are proven to deter pests like roaches, silverfish, ants, and termites.  

Because borates never lose their pest-fighting power, TAP remains effective for the lifetime of the product.  Additionally, borates are safe for people and pets, so homeowners who choose TAP never have to be concerned about their loved ones' safety.

Also, unlike traditional fiberglass insulation that is installed in rolls, TAP is blown into place, filling cracks and crevices that rolls can't reach.  TAP effectively plugs holes where energy often escapes, meaning a home insulated with TAP stays cooler during hot summer months and HVAC systems have to work less.  In all, this translates to greater energy and cost savings for homeowners.

“We’re proud to offer TAP Insulation,” notes Donnie Shelton, President & CEO of Triangle Pest Control.  “TAP offers tremendous pest control and energy saving benefits.  In fact, it is 32 percent more efficient than fiberglass insulation.”

TAP also uniquely carries both an EPA and Energy Star rating.

“Homeowners can feel good that they’re using a green product.  TAP takes less energy to produce, is made mostly from recycled newsprint, and leaves behind no post-installation waste.”

TAP is offered exclusively in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill-Cary region by Triangle Pest Control.
