Attic & Crawl Space Insulation


At Colonial Exterminating we offer two insulation installation services TAP insulation in the attic space and R-19 insulation in the crawl space.

T.A.P. Insulation in the Attic

Thermal Acoustical Pest Control Insulation (T·A·P®) is primarily made from ground-up newspapers. The paper fibers are then treated with a specially formulated borate solution to give the product its pesticide qualities. The result is safe and highly effective insulation and pesticide that is environmentally sensitive as well.

TAP® Pest Control Insulation is a “loose-fill,” cellulose insulation, so it is installed by being blown into attics on top of existing insulation.

What are the Benefits of T.A.P. Insulation?



T·A·P® saves money!
When added to existing insulation or installed on its own T·A·P® helps keep comfortable air in the living area of your home. This reduces the required energy needed to heat or cool your home and, in turn, reduces your heating and cooling bills. Typical energy savings will range from 20% to 38%.
T·A·P® reduces noise! T·A·P® reduces unwelcome noise from outside and helps create a peaceful environment inside the home. Insulated interior walls reduce annoying noises (toilets flushing and appliances running) inside a house.
T·A·P® control pests! In addition to conserving energy and reducing unwanted sound. T·A·P®also responsibly eliminates many common household pests.
T·A·P® helps control odors!   Due to the 12.5% Boric acid content, T·A·P® Acts as a disinfectant where it is placed. Odors are often eliminated with The use of T*A*P.
T·A·P® is a "Green" product! T·A·P® has earned the ENERGY STAR From the EPA. T·A·P® contains 87% recycled paper. Glass fiber contains. Contains about 20% recycled content and data reported to the canadian Standards Association suggest that glass fiber requires 59 times more energy than cellulose production!

    R-19 Insulation in the Crawl Space


    Almost every day we encounter a crawl space with webbing, old, and ineffective insulation. Over time insulation falls apart, becomes heavy from high moisture content, or gets destroyed by rats and mice.  Crawl space insulation helps maintain your entire home's energy efficiency. Without effective insulation, hot or cool air is easily lost through the floor. Insulation in the crawl space also helps to protect the air quality and reduce energy costs. Our trained technicians can remove your old insulation and install new R-19 insulation for you usually on the same day.  If we discover moisture issues or a rodent infestation while inspecting your crawl space insulation don't worry, we can help with that too!

    Testimonial


    "Last year, one of mine (new year's resolution) and my husbands was to look at ways to reduce our costs around the house so we decided to give a call to our friend Harry Sharpley at Colonial Exterminating to evaluate our insulation in the attic and indeed we were on the low side. The insulation that Colonial added (complete with pest control properties) has reduced our air and heating bills significantly in the last year. We are very glad we did it and I'd recommend it to anyone concerned about the high cost of heating/cooling your home."
