Your attic’s insulation is vital for temperature control, energy efficiency, and even noise dampening. But what many people don’t know is that attic insulation can play an important role in pest control as well. The Loyal Termite & Pest Control team uses specially-treated attic insulation that can stop certain pests in their tracks. This happens both through mechanical exclusion and a pest control treatment applied to the insulation itself.
Our insulation is eco-responsible and can be applied right over the top of any existing insulation for hassle-free and quick installation.
How Does Attic Insulation Control Pests?
Earlier we mentioned mechanical exclusion – this refers to treatments that physically prevent pests from entering a structure. It’s difficult for pests to crawl through the insulation; they get tangled up and wear themselves out trying to get free. Loyal Termite & Pest Control’s insulation is also treated with a pest control additive that kills the following pests when they ingest it:
- Ants
- Booklice
- Centipedes
- Crickets
- Darkling beetles
- Earwigs
- Roaches
- Silverfish
- Sow bug
It’s important to note that bugs not listed here, as well as larger pests like rodents, may not be affected by this additive. For other pest infestations, you may require other treatments.
How is Loyal Termite & Pest Control Insulation Different from Normal Insulation?
The first difference is the type of material – our insulation is made of 85% recycled paper and cellulose fiber, making it much more eco-friendly than traditional fiberglass insulation. The other difference is that our insulation is treated with an additive that kills pests. The additive is found in many common household cleansers, and in small quantities isn’t harmful to people or animals – not even rodents. However, it’s very effective against the pests listed above.

How the Installation Process Works
Each one of our services is customized to your specific needs. We don’t bring a one-size-fits-all approach to our work; we carefully assess each household’s needs and go from there. This means that we can’t give a precise overview of your service here, we can give you a general overview:
- Inspection. Each service starts with a thorough assessment of the area. We look for excess moisture, potential vulnerabilities in your structure, and signs of existing infestations. If we find any of these issues, we’ll address them before beginning the insulation process.
- Preparation. After we’ve completed any other necessary treatments, we’ll prep your attic for the insulation.
- Installation. Our insulation is blown in, which means it’s sprayed into your attic with a large hose. This installation method is efficient – taking around 4 to 6 hours, depending on the side of your attic – and allows for thorough coverage.
- Cleanup. It’s that simple. Once the insulation is set to go, we clean up and head out.
