Nobody likes pests in their home. To make matters worse, insect control solutions are often unsightly, inconvenient, and toxic to humans or pets, creating major inconveniences for homeowners. However, when you insulate with cellulose, these issues become less prevalent. Cellulose installation provides an invisible, non-toxic pest control solution that prevents pests from getting in from the get-go. Keep reading to learn how cellulose insulation can help you pest proof your home.
Natural Pesticide
Cellulose insulation is treated for safety, fire resistance, and durability with natural boric acids. This can act as a natural pest deterrent for your home. How it works is that when insects encounter the borates in the insulation, the boric acids make its way into their stomachs and kills them. Boric acid also poses little risk to humans and pets, especially when installed in walls and hidden cavities. It can even stop the growth of mold and fungi in the home, making it an ideal solution for homeowners looking to proactively defend themselves from outdoor pests.
Sealed Gaps
If insulation is installed poorly, these can lead to gaps forming as temperature changes with the seasons. These empty cavities give small pests a path directly into your home. Cellulose can be densely packed in to ensure minimal shrinkage, and it can be blown in to fill gaps in existing insulation. Plus, experts like Ace & Sons specialize in invisible installs, leaving you home looking the same as it did before service.
Pests have a way of finding the weak spots in a home, but the right insulation can help make those spots less inviting. Cellulose insulation is treated to help deter common household pests, while also giving your home the comfort and energy-efficiency benefit you expect from quality insulation. The catch? Cellulose takes experience to install correctly, and that’s where Ace & Sons comes in.
