What's in your attic?


Attics are known to be a great refuge for pests. Usually undisturbed, this space is perfect for pests to retreat to during our cold Hampton Roads winters. Rats can climb up your home and into soffits and wreak havoc on your insulation while nesting and contaminating it with their waste. Silverfish and roaches can infest the space and devour your clothing, books, papers, and EVEN your insulation. Once they are in it's just a matter of time before they ruin your insulation and create an unsanitary mess. 


Attics also bear the responsibility of buffering the perfect climate in your home. They should prevent rising hot air from escaping your home in the winter and not let the hot air creep down in the summer. If your R-Value is low in your attic insulation, you're not going to win this battle.


Luckily for you, Colonial Exterminating offers TAP® Pest Control Insulation to insulate and protect your home from pests. TAP® (Thermal Acoustical Pest Control Insulation) is an innovative, GREEN attic insulation for new and existing homes that offers multiple benefits that are proven to save energy and money. Proper insulation in your attic can reduce your heating and cooling bills by up to 30%. Over the years your fiberglass insulation can deteriorate and give you even less protection. TAP® Insulation is loose-fill cellulose insulation that is 87% recycled newsprint. The creators of TAP® have added Borates to this cellulose which helps control a variety of insects (Ants, Booklice, Centipedes, Crickets, Darkling beetles, Earwigs, Millipedes, Roaches, Silverfish, Sowbugs, and Termites). This insulation is second to none in regard to its sound reduction qualities and also serves as a fire retardant. TAP® is the only pest control product with an Energy Star Rating.


Call Colonial for a free attic evaluation. We can find the telltale signs of an infestation, come up with a custom plan for you, and see if your attic is a great candidate for this revolutionary product. Don't forget our coupons are available to first-time customers!
