Can I Trust A Pest Management Company With My Insulation?

If you’ve ever been offered insulation services by your local pest control company while they’re already dealing with the critters in your attic, you might be tempted to take the offer just for convenience’s sake. But is doing so really a good idea? Your insulation experts at Foam Bear Tampa are here to uncover the downsides to pest control insulation so you can insulate your space the right way!

Pest Control vs. Insulation Company

Since when did pest management companies start offering insulation? A new product that’s trending right now is insulation material that doubles as a pest deterrent. But as your gut may tell you, it’s too good to be true.

Pest control expertise peaks in dealing with pest infestations. Relying on such a company for a two-for-one solution is just as effective as watering your lawn and expecting trees to grow. On the other hand, an insulation expert can equip your property with premium-grade materials like spray foam that can lead to additional benefits just based on the quality of the product alone.

Common Lies That Your Pest Control Rep May Tell You:

The way that pest management companies convince their clients to sign up for their insulation services is by sometimes relaying false information to pressure them on the spot. Some common lies that people have been told include:

  • ”Bugs and rodents are eating away at your insulation.”
  • ”Our price for insulation is high because it also deters pests.”
  • ”We’re seeing [insert rodent] in your space.”

In reality, insulation materials don’t offer any sort of nutrients that pests would be interested in. Why eat foam and asbestos when there’s an abundance of nature right outside? These companies have also been known to show false photos of pest activity in the hopes that you won’t go into your attic or crawl space to confirm it yourself. Even worse, homeowners have claimed to be quoted nearly $20k or more for their pest control company’s “specialized” insulation.

You have the right to think about your decision and consider all of the factors. Never let a company, be it for pest control or insulation, pressure you into making a deal on the spot that you’ll regret later.

Get a Better Insulation Experience With Spray Foam Installation

If you really are having an issue with pests in the home, there are more practical solutions than what your pest control experts are offering. For example, spray foam insulation offers one of the highest R-values you can achieve for home use while simultaneously filling in gaps for better air quality and sound dampening. Tightly sealed gaps also mean that no bugs, rodents, or other pests are getting in. Why pay for “pest-free” insulation when spray foam can accomplish the same thing and more?

What to Expect When You Hire Spray Foam Installers

When spray foam experts come to your property, they’ll carefully inspect your space for any breaches in your walls, ceiling, and other areas that may need special treatment. This ensures that your spray foam insulation will cover any exposed areas for maximum effect.
