How Attic Insulation Helps Control Household Pests
This eco-friendly blown-in cellulose insulation is treated with a pest control additive that works when pests contact the treated material. By eliminating pests within the insulation, the treatment can help reduce the opportunity for them to spread into other parts of your home.
The pest control additive does not become less effective because pests develop a tolerance to it. As a result, the treated insulation can continue providing pest control benefits without needing to be replaced. While the insulation remains installed, pests that come into contact with the treated material will continue to be eliminated.

How Much Does Attic Insulation Cost?
The cost of attic insulation installation depends on factors such as the size and layout of the structure. Installing new insulation can provide lasting value by improving energy efficiency while also helping control certain household pests.
How Does Attic Insulation Affect Pests?
Our attic insulation contains a pest control additive that eliminates certain common pests when they come into contact with the treated material. This can help limit pest activity and make the attic less favorable for pests to establish themselves, move through the home, or reproduce.

Pest Control: Insulation’s control effect begins only after affected insect/arthropod contact with insulation. See product label for affected insects/arthropods. Control of affected insects/arthropods is limited to contact with insulation and does not extend outside of the insulation. Use of insulation does not substitute for holistic pest management. For active pest infestations, you should consult a licensed pest control operator.
Energy Savings: Vary and depend on use patterns, the home’s current insulation, home and system efficiency, and products purchased.
Pest control additive included in cellulose insulation only.
