The "WHY" Behind Tap Insulation
July 3, 2025
Why TAP Insulation Is a Smart Investment for South Florida Homes
In South Florida’s heat and humidity, a well-insulated home isn’t just about comfort—it’s about savings, quiet, and protection. That’s where TAP Insulation comes in: Thermal, Acoustical, Pest Control—the trifecta of home performance. Radix Pest Solutions offers this advanced insulation, perfectly suited for homes and businesses across Broward, Miami, and Palm Beach counties.
What Is TAP Insulation?
TAP Insulation is a blown-in cellulose material made from recycled paper and treated with borate, offering:
Thermal Efficiency – Keeps your space cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Acoustic Reduction – Damps noise from outdoors and between rooms.
Built‑in Pest Protection – Borate acts as a pest deterrent, effective against ants, termites, cockroaches, silverfish and more.
How It Works: Science Meets Comfort
Borate Additive: This natural compound disrupts the digestive system of insects that contact the fibers—no need for repeated sprays.
Structural Density: Unlike fluffy fiberglass, TAP settles densely, closing airflow gaps and making it hard for rodents to nest.
Longevity: With proper care, TAP can last up to a century—far outlasting traditional insulation.
What the Pros Say
From pest control forums and professionals:
“TAP insulation both deters insects and is difficult for rodents to nest in because cellulose collapses in on itself.”
“The borate used eliminates common pests and insects don’t develop resistance to it.”
