The Science Behind Pest-Control Insulation

This insulation is a “blown-in” cellulose product mixed with a pest control additive. Pests that touch the material are eliminated, which limits how far they can travel through your home and prevents future pest issues.

Pests cannot develop a tolerance to the additive, so the insulation doesn’t need to be replaced. For as long as it stays in your attic, it will continue to kill the pests that come into contact with it.

What to Expect from Our Attic Insulation Installation Process

Whether you’re upgrading existing insulation or starting from scratch, Humboldt Termite & Pest Control has you covered. Before any new insulation goes in, we’ll complete a complimentary inspection to make sure your attic is free of pests, moisture, and damage. Here’s how the process works:

Inspection: A free evaluation of your insulation needs and any pest activity.
Preparation: We prepare your home so the following work can go smoothly and stay clean.
Installation: We install insulation to the recommended R-value, either on top of what’s already there or directly between the joists.

Pest Control: Insulation’s control effect begins only after affected insect/arthropod contact with insulation. See product label for affected insects/arthropods. Control of affected insects/arthropods is limited to contact with insulation and does not extend outside of the insulation. Use of insulation does not substitute for holistic pest management. For active pest infestations, you should consult a licensed pest control operator.

Energy Savings: Vary and depend on use patterns, the home’s current insulation, home and system efficiency, and products purchased.

Pest control additive included in cellulose insulation only.
