Pest Contorl Insulation in Los Angeles
Pest control insulation is borate treated insulation that kills termites, ants, cockroaches, and silverfish on contact while insulating your home or commercial building. The borate treatment makes it a pest repellent insulation that pests cannot survice, and the cellulose base cuts your energy bills.
Most homeowners want insulation with pest control built in, not a separate spray everywhere. As an EPA-registered pesticide insulation, TAP® insulation is installed once and protects for the life of your home. We install pest resistent insulation for homes and commercial building throughout LA County.
What It Is & How It Works?
TAP insulation, short for Thermal Acoustical Pest Control insulation, is a blown-in cellulose insulation treated with borates that controls pests, dampens sound, and improves thermal performance in one product. It is EPA-registered under No. 89140-1.
Borate treated insulation stops pests as borates are a natural mineral salt. When termites, ants, roaches, or silverfish crawl across the treated fibers, they ingest the borate and dies. The treatment never wears out, so the protection lasts the life of the structure. This treated insulation sits permanently in your attic and walls.
As an EPA-registered TAP cellulose blown-in insulation, it must be installed by licensed experts and we are certified installers.
Why choose TAP® Pest Control Insulation?
Pest Control
TAP® insulation uses borates, a natural pest repellent, unlike traditional insulation. This powerful treatment targets common household pests like termites, silverfish, ants, cockroaches, and centipedes. When pests touch the borate-treated insulation, they ingest it and pass away.
Energy Efficiency
TAP insulation lowers your energy bills by improving attic thermal performance, and qualifies for up to a $1,200 federal tax credit when it replaces old attic insulation. Your save twice: lower bills and a tax break.
Environmental Impact
As a thermal acoustical pest control insulation, attic insulation helps in winter. TAP keeps your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The cellulose base slows heat transfer, so your HVAC runs less.
Sound Dampening
TAP® insulation also provides excellent sound dampening properties, helping to reduce noise from outside and between rooms. Enjoy a quieter, more peaceful home environment.
Ease of Installation
We can easily install TAP® insulation whether you’re building a new home or upgrading an existing one. Installers blow it directly over your current attic insulation to provide full coverage and improved performance.
Cost Effective
A one-time investment with no re-treatments required. In time, TAP® most often pays for itself by reducing energy costs because it reduces the required energy needed to heat or cool your home.

Installation Process
Attics
Homeowners with existing insulation
TAP® Pest Control Insulation is a “loose-fill,” cellulose insulation, so it is installed by being blown into attics on top of existing insulation using specialized machines.
Walls
Contractor or Homeowners remodeling
After the drywall is installed, we create small holes in the walls. We blow in the TAP® insulation using hoses, then reseal the holes and paint the walls (if needed).
Homeowners may qualify for a $1,200 tax credit
You may receive a tax credit up to $1,200 per year on your federal taxes if you replace your old attic insulation with TAP® insulation because of its energy efficiency properties.
Congress has introduced new energy efficiency home improvement credits for insulation (section 25C) through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. This Act also includes rebates managed by the Department of Energy.
To apply for your tax credit, complete Form 5695 on your tax return. A tax professional can assist you in claiming these credits and keeping up with any changes in requirements and procedures due to the new law. If you have questions about the tax implications of installing insulation, consult a tax professional.

The best company to hire for sure! They gave me an appointment within a week which was amazing, they worked with my busy schedule and was able to come out on a Sunday and were on time! They gave me the best pricing out of all the companies I called, the work was done in a great manor, I didn’t have to hover to keep an eye on anything, they made me trust their judgement and work. Wendy is just so sweet and easily reachable as well as Alissa who was so helpful every time I called and answered all my questions when I called the office. So I will be recommending their business to all my friends and business associates! Thank you so much!

Highly recommend this company. They are a local neighborhood company that does amazing work and the prices are better than any other competitor I reached out to. I have used other companies in the past and this was by far the smoothest tenting process I’ve had. Brandon & Wendy were wonderful the entire process and always kept me up to speed on where we were in the process. The installation of the tent was seamless and the team that put up the tent were very professional and courteous from start to finish. I would definitely use them again!

Wendy and her team at My Termite Company are awesome! We have treated two properties using their services. They always respond fast. They kept me updated about every stage of the fumigation and repairs process. They gave me a fair price and took into account all changes that happened during the process. We are very happy with their work and customer service!
