Any homeowner knows that attic insulation is vital for energy efficiency, comfortable year-round temperatures, and even outside noise reduction. But did you know that it could also play an important role in pest control? At Delta Pest Control Inc, we use a specialized type of attic insulation that serves as a barrier against certain types of pests, adding an extra layer of protection.
Whether your house is a new construction or a well-lived-in home with existing insulation, we can help; our insulation can be applied on its own or as a supplement. The best part? It’s eco-responsible and quick to install.
How Does Attic Insulation Control Pests?
There are two preventative aspects of our insulation: mechanical and chemical. First of all, insulation is simply difficult for pests to crawl through; secondly, our insulation is treated with a pest control additive that kills certain pests when they ingest it. These pests include the following:
- Ants
- Booklice
- Centipedes
- Crickets
- Darkling beetles
- Earwigs
- Roaches
- Silverfish
- Sow bug
Note that this additive won’t kill larger pests like rodents, or even other arthropods (or bugs.) If you’re dealing with a different type of pest infestation, you may need additional pest control services.

How is Delta Pest Control Inc Insulation Different from Normal Insulation?
The insulation we use at Delta Pest Control Inc is made primarily from recycled paper, and the rest is cellulose, a component of plant fiber. It’s treated with a naturally occurring mineral as a pest control agent which won’t harm people or even animals in small quantities but is very effective against the pests listed above.
How Delta Pest Control Inc’s Insulation Process Works
Since every one of our services is completely tailored to your individual needs, no two jobs will be exactly the same. Broadly speaking, though, we can outline our process like this:
- Inspection. We always start with an inspection of your space to look for moisture, structural vulnerabilities, and existing infestations that might need to be addressed before insulation can be installed.
- Preparation. Once we administer any additional treatments, we’ll prepare your attic for the new insulation.
- Installation. Our insulation is blown in, meaning it is sprayed over the area with a hose. This allows for quick and thorough installation; it usually takes around 4 to 6 hours to install depending on the size of your attic.
- It’s that simple! After installing your insulation, we’ll clean up after ourselves.
