Smart Insulation That Fights Pests & Cuts Energy Costs
In Cedar Bluff, Oxford, and the surrounding foothills of Northeast Alabama, homeowners face a mix of humid summers, chilly winters, and year-round pest pressure. Many homes—especially older or lakefront properties—struggle to maintain energy efficiency and keep bugs and rodents out of attics and walls.
TAP® (Thermal, Acoustical, Pest Control) insulation is the perfect solution for our region’s challenges. It’s a high-performance cellulose insulation that not only improves energy efficiency and soundproofing, but also kills common insects like ants, cockroaches, termites, and silverfish.
Whether you’re in a lake house near Weiss Lake or a traditional Oxford ranch-style home, TAP® insulation gives you the performance of premium insulation and the protection of a pest barrier—all in one product.
Why TAP® Insulation is Perfect for Northeast Alabama Homes
The terrain and home construction in this region—often elevated structures, vented attics, and crawl spaces—creates ideal conditions for pests and energy loss.
Here’s why TAP® is especially beneficial in Cedar Bluff & Oxford:
-
Foothill and lakeside homes lose heat/cooling faster due to elevation and wind exposure
-
Pests thrive in attic insulation, especially during seasonal shifts
-
Older construction styles often lack proper insulation or pest protection
-
High humidity and temperature swings can lead to moisture retention and mold risk
TAP® insulation is treated with borate, a naturally derived mineral that targets pests without harming pets or people, making it a smart choice for both primary residences and vacation homes.
