The attic is often the most overlooked part of the home when it comes to energy efficiency and pest prevention — but it shouldn’t be. A well-insulated and sealed attic dramatically improves comfort, lowers utility bills, and keeps unwanted pests out. That’s why the Hatchmaster and TAP® Pest Control Insulation are the perfect pair.
This powerful combination helps homeowners protect their investment while offering pest management professionals (PMPs) a smart way to boost revenue and customer satisfaction.
Energy Savings Through Air Sealing
Air leakage around attic entrances is one of the most common culprits of wasted energy in homes. The Hatchmaster Attic Stair Cover acts as a barrier, significantly reducing the amount of conditioned air escaping through attic pull-down stairs or access panels.
When combined with the thermal performance of TAP® Insulation — which carries an R-value of R-3.6 per inch — homeowners gain year-round protection against temperature swings and energy loss. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, proper attic insulation and air sealing can save up to 15% on heating and cooling costs annually.

Improved Pest Control
TAP® Insulation is not just a thermal solution — it’s also an EPA-registered pesticide. This unique blown-in insulation kills insects like ants, cockroaches, termites, and silverfish that may enter the attic or wall voids.
Pairing the Hatchmaster with TAP insulation provides a stronger line of defense by sealing off one of the most common attic entry points for pests. Together, they create a cleaner, more controlled environment that supports long-term pest prevention.

Better Home Comfort
Have customers complained about rooms that are too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter? A well-insulated and sealed attic is often the key. The Hatchmaster eliminates drafts from attic hatches, while TAP insulation regulates temperature more evenly across the home.
As a result, homeowners enjoy improved comfort, better indoor air quality, and quieter living spaces — all without major renovations.
Value-Added Service That Sells
PMPs who offer the Hatchmaster as an upgrade to TAP insulation installations give their customers a complete solution. It’s an easy upsell that delivers noticeable benefits, especially when bundled as part of a Turnkey TAP Program.

By offering the Hatchmaster in tandem with TAP® Insulation, you’re not just selling a product — you’re providing a complete attic performance upgrade that homeowners can feel. Whether you’re looking to boost your bottom line or deliver unmatched customer value, this combo checks every box.
