Is an Attic Stairway Insulator Included with TAP® Insulation Pest Control
Published: April 4, 2025

Introduction
When it comes to effective pest control, many homeowners focus on traditional extermination methods like sprays and traps. However, a more proactive solution lies in creating an environment that naturally deters pests. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is through TAP® (Thermal Acoustical Pest Control) Insulation. More than just an insulation product, TAP® Insulation actively combats pests while providing superior thermal protection. To further enhance its effectiveness, we include an attic door insulation cover aka the TAP® Hatchmaster Attic Stairway Cover with our TAP® Insulation pest control solution.
TAP® Insulation: A Pest Control-First Approach
At All U Need Pest Control, we prioritize pest prevention over reactive extermination. TAP® Insulation is uniquely designed with a specialized borate treatment that eliminates common household pests like ants, cockroaches, termites, and silverfish upon contact. Unlike standard insulation, which only provides temperature control, TAP® Insulation serves as an integral part of your pest management strategy, making it a superior investment for long-term protection.

Why an Attic Door Insulation Cover Matters
Your attic is one of the most vulnerable areas for pest infestations. Small gaps around attic doors and stairways provide easy entry points for rodents and insects. By installing an attic door insulation cover, you create a barrier that prevents these pests from infiltrating your home. Additionally, this cover enhances energy efficiency by reducing heat loss and preventing drafts, working in conjunction with TAP® Insulation to create a well-sealed, pest-resistant environment.
TAP® Insulation is embedded with borates, a natural pest deterrent that effectively controls insect populations. When pests come into contact with the insulation, the borates disrupt their digestive system, leading to dehydration and eventual elimination. This passive yet highly effective approach eliminates the need for continuous pesticide applications, offering homeowners a long-lasting pest control solution.
Proven Effectiveness
Studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of insulation-based pest control in controlling insect populations. Research published in the Journal of Economic Entomology found that borate-treated insulation significantly reduces termite activity, making it a sustainable alternative to chemical treatments. Additionally, a study conducted by the U.S. Forest Service confirmed that borate-infused materials provide long-term resistance against wood-destroying insects like Formosan termites. These findings highlight TAP® Insulation’s role as a powerful pest management solution in addition to its insulating benefits.
Additional Benefits of an Attic Door Insulation Cover
Besides pest control, an attic door insulation cover provides several other advantages:
- Improved Energy Efficiency: Helps maintain indoor temperatures, reducing energy costs.
- Moisture Control: Prevents condensation buildup, which can attract pests and lead to mold growth.
- Enhanced Indoor Air Quality: Limits the entry of allergens and pollutants from the attic into living spaces.
- Noise Reduction: Works in tandem with TAP® Insulation to minimize outdoor noise penetration.
