How Does Attic Insulation Combat Pests?
This insulation is an eco-friendly form of “blown-in” cellulose product that’s been infused with a pest control additive. When pests come in contact with the insulation, they are eliminated, which helps prevent further movement inside your home.
Pests cannot build up a tolerance to the pest control additive in the insulation. This means that once installed, this insulation never needs to be replaced. So long as the insulation is present, it will continue to kill pests that come in contact with it.

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.
