TAP insulation is a type of insulation that is made from all-natural products, such as boron compound and recycled newspaper. It acts as insulation for homes and buildings, but it has another benefit: it’s a pesticide that keeps household pests out of the home. The product is patented and is the only pesticide that has earned the US EPA’s “Energy Star” rating. With so many benefits, how do you know if TAP insulation is the right choice for pest control in Orange County?

How TAP Insulation Works

TAP is made from recycled products, and added in these layers is a borate-based pest control product. Pests cannot build up a tolerance to this product, so TAP never becomes less powerful over time. Instead, what happens is that pests inside the walls of the home will ingest the boric acid, and the pesticide will slowly accumulate in the gut of the insect. Eventually, the boric acid leads to dehydration and malnutrition, and the pests die off. Since the boric acid needs to be ingested, TAP works best on self grooming insects such as cockroaches, ants and termites.

What are the Benefits to Choosing TAP Insulation?

We already know that TAP repels common household pests, is a great choice for termite control in Los Angeles and is made from recycled products. But what are the some of the other benefits to this product?

First, TAP will save you money, not just today, but in the long run. This type of insulation is high in quality and will give your home the insulation it needs, trapping heat and blocking cold air. You’ll see these savings in your utility bills each month, plus you will enjoy a more comfortable home. With the quality of the insulation, you will also see greater noise reduction.

Another benefit is that TAP insulation is environmentally friendly. The pesticide used in the product is safe for humans, so you never have to worry about chemicals in the home. Also, the insulation is made from recycled paper products, keeping more trash out of landfills and allowing your home to meet green standards. TAP insulation also provides fire resistance, giving the home an added layer of protection.

TAP insulation is efficient, and it’s a worthy consideration for any home. When building a new home or building, it may seem more logical to choose TAP as the source of insulation. But what if your home is already insulated? Should you still consider TAP? Yes! With over 65% of homes being under-insulated, you may already be experiencing problems with heat loss, drafts in the home, pest problems and noise control. TAP can be laid directly over existing insulation and will provide the same benefits.

You have just had a Drywood termite problem diagnosed at your home. However, instead of worrying about the harmful chemicals that might be needed to treat the problem, you can rest easier knowing that Accuracy Plus uses Tim-Bor® Professional products. We are proud to offer this alternative, non-toxic treatment to our customers.

Tim-Bor® is a water-soluble powder that can be applied as a dust, spray, foam or mist. This allows treatment on wood or inside areas normally harder to get to such as cracks and crevices. When used as a liquid, the active ingredient creates a protective shield and remains for long-term protection. It can also be used to dust into places such as wall voids where pests normally like to hide. This provides additional protection because the termites ingest the dust during the process of cleaning themselves.

Tim-Bor® is a product that is manufactured with a concern for the environment. It is highly effective and economical and can be used both indoors and outdoors. It has almost no odor and it won’t discolor or stain wood surfaces. Another advantage is that it won’t corrode nails, screws or other construction components. That makes this product ideal to use for your indoor pest control needs.
