Prevention is the best way to be sure that insects don’t take up residence in your home, and as fall approaches, pests such as ants, box elder bugs and silverfish are going to start looking for places to spend their winter. The walls of your home as well as areas such as the attic make an excellent refuge for pests during the winter because they are generally warm and dry. Vents, chimneys and other cracks or holes in your home’s structure also provide easily access for persistent pests. At American Pest we are always looking for better ways to prevent pests from entering your home and that is why we have begun using Pest Control Insulation as a deterrent to all kinds of troublesome pests. Pest Control Insulation is a borate insulation that contains an EPA labeled pesticide- safe for the environment but not for insects that want to overwinter in your walls.

If you are building a new home, or are considering updating the insulation in your current home, Pest Control Insulation is an excellent choice. Not only to be used as a pest preventative, Pest Control Insulation is very effective at keeping your home well insulated from the weather outside. Pest Control Insulation is made of natural fibers and will help you keep your home warmer during the winter months and cooler during the hot summer months, saving you lots of money each year on your energy bills. And because it pays to be green, on February 17th, 2009, the “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act” was signed into law and included an increase in the 2009/2010 tax credit for homeowners who have borate-based pest control insulation installed in their homes. Not only will installing Pest Control Insulation keep your home well insulated and free from pests, but it also can help you receive up to $1500 in tax credits.

Our customers that have had Pest Control Insulation installed in their homes tell us that the insulation is also an excellent sound absorber, keeping the noises of traffic, airplanes and other outside annoyances to a minimum. If you are looking for a greener way to update your home for the winter, Pest Control Insulation installed by American Pest is a great fit. With thermal, acoustical and pest control properties, Pest Control Insulation outperforms other types of insulation, and because our knowledgeable technicians know how best to install it, our insulation will never lose its R-value.
