There are several insulations on the market today which are treated with an EPA registered pesticide and indicate that the insulation can kill insects. But can they? Unfortunately for consumers and the pest management professionals that offer these types of insulation, the claims are not based on scientific research or proven efficacy data. Here is a comparison of treated insulation vs. TAP® Pest Control Insulation.
Some companies are adding a pesticide to their insulation to “treat” the insulation and claiming that this will “protect” the structure of the home or the health of the home’s occupants.
In professional terms, treated articles are those products, like insulation, that are treated with an EPA registered pesticide for the sole purpose of protecting the product (insulation) itself from damage… NOT the structure (the home). Herein lies the rub. False or cleverly exaggerated marketing claims can destroy a company’s reputation and, in some cases, provide detrimental outcomes for the customers who purchase these treated articles to protect their home.
You deserve more!
Thermal Acoustical Pest Control (TAP®) Insulation is an EPA-registered pesticide that promises to control all the insects on its label (i.e., Ants, Booklice, Centipedes, Cockroaches, Crickets, Darkling Beetles, Earwigs, Millipedes, Silverfish, Sow Bugs, and Termites including Formosan Termites) wherever applied.
Backed by the ENERGY STAR® Seal and Insulate mark, a rigorous UL Certification process, and an EPA Label identifying the insulation itself as a pesticide, TAP® Pest Control Insulation delivers on its promise. In today’s marketplace, consumers are highly intelligent and demand products that are authentic while delivering on their promise. Because TAP® Insulation is an EPA registered pesticide, it is only available from and can only be installed by licensed pest management professionals. Treated insulation, on the other hand, can be obtained and installed by anyone. That is a notable distinction to consider.
