Insulation Removal & Replacement
Insulation removal and replacement are the first steps in eliminating contaminated insulation or making your home more energy efficient. This can be a difficult task that could require professional assistance. If you need assistance with insulation replacement for your home, EcoGuard Pest Management is qualified to help with the latest in pest control technology.
Depending on your situation, our technicians can recommend if you just need pest control insulation to top off your existing insulation or if you need a complete overhaul due to contamination or poor efficiency. If soiled insulation needs to be removed, an area should be cleaned, disinfected, and deodorized before new insulation is installed.
Why Do I Need Pest Control Insulation?
EcoGuard Pest Management will inspect your insulation and provide recommendations.
Pest Control Insulation can replace or work with any existing insulation that is in place. There are several reasons to upgrade your current insulation.
- Attic insulation is a potential harborage area for pests and rodents.
- Insulation’s soft & insulating properties make it perfect nesting material for rodents.
- Insulation is sound dampening which make it perfect for moving around a home unnoticed.
- Attic insulation can become contaminated by odors, waste, and disease.
TAP Insulation
TAP insulation has become another innovative tool in the fight against pests. When used with or in place of older insulation, Thermal - Acoustical - Pest Control (TAP) Insulation’s chemical addition of boric acid helps keep pests under control. While deadly to several pests like ants, cockroaches, silverfish, termites, and a deterrent to rodents, this insulation is safe for humans and pets. TAP is also all natural and permanent and never needs to be retreated.
Benefits of Pest Control Insulation
- Save money on heating / cooling costs.

Damage and Contamination from Rodents
Rodent activity in areas with insulation will inevitably result in contamination from urine and waste. These contaminants will release airborne particles that will be spread through the HVAC system. This can lead to a plethora of harmful health concerns and diseases and can be prevented with insulation removal and replacement.

Insulation FAQs
-
What is pest control insulation?
Pest control insulation is blown in cellulose insulation that has been treated with boric acid. This boric acid is deadly to bugs and acts as a preventative agent against rodents.
-
What kind of insulation do mice not like?
TAP insulation contains boric acid and is effective in preventing rodent habitability.
-
Can bugs live in insulation?
Bugs can live in non-treated insulation but any insulation that has been treated with boric acid should be deadly to most pests.
-
How important is it to properly insulate my attic?
An overwhelming majority of homes in America do not have appropriate insulation. This can cause an unnecessary amount of energy being allocated to temperature control and maintaining comfortability. Adding the proper insulation with the appropriate R-value will make a noticeable change.
-
What is R-value?
R-value measures insulation’s ability to resist the flow of heat. This means keeping a home cool when its hot out and vice versa. As R-value increases, the efficiency of the insulation also increases. R-value is dependent on that part of the home is being insulated and where the home is. Uninsulated attics will vary in R-value depending on if a home is in New York vs California.
-
Will stuffing thicker insulation into a smaller space increase R-value?
Compressing insulation decreases its R-value and effectiveness as an insulation barrier.
-
Will insulation promote mold growth?
No, fiberglass insulation does not provide food for biological growth and blown in insulation is mixed with boric acid.
-
Will I have to move out during insulation installation?
No, insulation installation can occur with people around. All that is generally asked is that any personal items be moved away from areas that provide attic access. All employees are bonded and insured to prevent any additional concern.
