F&W Pest Control Now Offers TAP Pest Control Insulation

New service helps Massachusetts customers control pests and reduce home energy costs year-round

Wrentham, MA – Nov. 8, 2011 – F&W Pest Control, Inc., one of the leading full-service pest management service providers in Massachusetts, today announced that it now offers TAP pest control insulation as part of its array of pest control services for customers statewide.

“TAP is a highly effective, environmentally responsible pest management service we now offer our customers, “ states Mark Gibbons, Vice President with F&W Pest Control.  “Added on top of existing attic insulation, TAP adds a permanent layer of pest control for attics, plus it pays for itself quickly and continues to save customers money for the life of the home.”

A merger of two well-respected technologies, TAP is a cellulose insulation infused with a natural borate pesticide. TAP provides Thermal, Acoustical, and Pest Control qualities and never needs retreating. It is effective against ants, cockroaches, silverfish, termites and many other crawling insects. Available exclusively from pest management pro’s, TAP is the only product labeled by the EPA to help control insects that also bears an Energy Star label. Adding to its appeal, TAP is manufactured from 87% recycled materials.

The U.S. Department of Energy recommends a fairly significant amount of insulation (R-49) in residential attics.  This amount far exceeds most building codes and specs, which means that many homes do not have enough insulation.  It has been estimated that 65% of homes in the U.S. are under-insulated, and most homes over 10 years old have about 1/3 of the recommended amount of insulation.
