East Texas attics face two constant enemies: heat and pests. Between our hot, humid summers and the ants, roaches, and occasional rodents that find their way into attic spaces, standard fiberglass or blown-in insulation only solves half the problem.
TAP® Pest Control Insulation gives Palestine homeowners:
TAP® (Thermal, Acoustical, Pest Control) Insulation is a premium cellulose insulation treated with an EPA-registered borate compound. It’s the only pest control insulation on the market that does double duty — insulating your attic against heat and noise while creating a long-term barrier against ants, roaches, silverfish, termites, and other common attic and wall-void pests.
If you’ve searched for “insulation with pest control” or compared TAP insulation to Terminix insulation, you’ve likely landed on the same underlying product: TAP® is manufactured by Owens Corning and installed by certified local pest control providers like InfestAway — not exclusive to any single national brand. As a certified installer based right here in Palestine, TX, we bring the same TAP® technology to your home with local, personal service and faster response times than a national call center.
The active ingredient is a low-toxicity borate that's lethal to crawling insects but safe for your household when installed correctly.
Insects that crawl through or ingest treated fibers are eliminated, disrupting infestations at the source in your attic and wall voids.
TAP® has one of the highest R-values per inch of any insulation, helping lower heating and cooling costs year-round.
The dense cellulose fill also reduces outside noise transmission — a bonus for homes near roads or in denser neighborhoods.
Treated to meet strict fire-safety standards, providing enhanced safety compared to untreated fiberglass batts.
Unlike surface sprays that break down over months, TAP® insulation continues protecting your attic for the life of the insulation.
We assess your current insulation levels, R-value, and check for any existing attic pest or rodent activity.
Get a clear price based on your attic’s square footage and insulation depth requirements — no hidden fees.
Our certified team blows in TAP® insulation to the exact recommended depth for maximum thermal and pest performance.
If active pest issues were found, we pair the installation with a targeted treatment plan to fully eliminate the problem.

TAP® INSULATION QUESTIONS
TAP® (Thermal, Acoustical, Pest Control) Insulation is a borate-treated cellulose insulation that insulates your attic while killing and repelling common household pests like ants, roaches, and silverfish.
TAP® is manufactured by Owens Corning and installed by certified pest control companies, including national brands like Terminix as well as local providers like InfestAway. The core product is the same TAP® technology — the difference is who installs it and the level of direct, local service you receive.
Yes. TAP® uses a low-toxicity borate compound that is safe for humans and pets once installed, while remaining lethal against crawling insects.
Yes. TAP® has a high R-value per inch, which helps improve your attic’s thermal performance and can reduce heating and cooling costs year-round.
TAP® insulation provides pest protection for the life of the insulation, unlike surface sprays that need to be reapplied every few months.
In most cases, TAP® can be installed as a top-up over existing insulation, but our technician will assess your attic during the free inspection to recommend the best approach.
