Every homeowner knows the importance of attic insulation; it keeps your home at a comfortable temperature, increases energy efficiency, and even reduces noise from outside. One thing that many people don’t think about is that attic insulation can also be part of an effective pest prevention system.
Seitz Bros uses eco-responsible insulation that can be applied on top of existing insulation. By providing a physical barrier against pests, this insulation could stop the next infestation before it can even start.
How Does Attic Insulation Prevent Pests?
There are two ways in which our insulation can help prevent pests. First of all, it’s physically difficult for bugs to move through the insulation. Any potential invaders will either wear themselves out or turn around to look for an easier spot. Secondly, our insulation is treated with a pest control additive that kills certain pests when they ingest it. Below are the pests most affected by this additive:
- Ants
- Booklice
- Centipedes
- Crickets
- Darkling beetles
- Earwigs
- Roaches
- Silverfish
- Sow bug
While our pest control additive is very effective against these bugs, it’s less effective against other pests. Different kinds of bugs, as well as larger pests like rodents, will need other specialized treatments, so if you’re dealing with a different type of infestation, we recommend something else.
How is Seitz Bros Insulation Different from Normal Insulation?
The primary difference between our insulation and typical home insulation is the material. Seitz Bros’s insulation is made of 85% recycled paper as well as cellulose fiber. It’s also treated with a pest control additive that is found in common household cleaning products. In small quantities like this, it won’t harm people or even most animals – not even rodents – but it’s still effective against the above pests.
How Seitz Bros’s Installation Process Works
Since each one of our services is tailored to our customers’ needs, we can’t give a detailed list of steps here. However, we can tell you, broadly speaking, how the process works.
1. Inspection
No matter which service we’re performing, we start with a comprehensive inspection of the area. Leading up to insulation service, we look for any excess moisture, structural vulnerabilities, and signs of existing pest infestations. If we find these, we’ll recommend how to address them before we start insulating.
2. Preparation
Once any additional services are completed, we start preparing your attic for insulation.
3. Installation
We use blown-in insulation, meaning we spray it over the surface with a large hose for effective coverage. It’s a quick process – usually about 4 to 6 hours, depending on the size of your attic.
4. Cleanup
Finally, we clean up after ourselves. It’s that simple!
