Pest Control Insulation Commerce City, CO | Level Up Insulation
TAP insulation — Commerce City's only solution that insulates and eliminates pests at the same time.
Pest control insulation is a real product category — and Commerce City homeowners are increasingly choosing it over standard blown-in insulation. TAP (Thermal, Acoustical, Pest Control) insulation is EPA-registered cellulose blown-in insulation treated with borate during manufacturing. It installs exactly like standard blown-in, qualifies for the same Xcel Energy attic rebates, and provides the same R-value — with one critical difference: it permanently controls over 50 species of crawling insects and deters the rodent infestations that contaminate standard Commerce City attic insulation. Level Up is one of the few insulation companies in Commerce City that is authorized to use TAP-certified insulation. For Commerce City homeowners dealing with recurring pest issues, it’s the most efficient single investment available.
Why Commerce City
Why Commerce City Homeowners Choose Pest Control Insulation
Pest control insulation solves a specific problem that Commerce City’s Front Range geography has made worse over the past decade. The rapid expansion of Commerce City suburbs into the urban-wildland interface — Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock, Commerce City, Stapleton, and dozens of other communities — has put hundreds of thousands of homes directly adjacent to fields, open space, and undeveloped land that serve as permanent wildlife habitat. Every fall, as temperatures drop, mice, voles, squirrels, and insects seek the warmest habitat available — and in most cases, that’s your attic.
Standard attic insulation is not just ineffective against pests — it’s attractive to them. Fiberglass batts and standard cellulose blown-in are ideal nesting material. Once rodents establish in your Commerce City attic insulation, they contaminate it with droppings and urine, compress its R-value, and create entry pathways for future infestations. TAP pest control insulation makes your attic hostile to insects on contact and, when properly installed with sealed entry points, eliminates the access and nesting conditions that attract rodents in the first place.
HOW TAP WORKS
How TAP Pest Control Insulation Works in Commerce City Homes
TAP pest control insulation delivers R-3.6 per inch — equivalent to premium cellulose blown-in and well above fiberglass performance. In Commerce City attic applications, it installs to R-49 (Colorado code standard) exactly like standard blown-in, qualifies for Xcel Energy attic insulation rebates in the same way, and performs identically from a thermal standpoint. The pest control function is entirely additive — you get full-spec attic insulation plus permanent pest control.
TAP pest control insulation works through borate — a naturally occurring compound that is lethal to crawling insects that contact or ingest it but safe for humans and pets at installation concentrations. Borate disrupts the digestive systems of insects, controlling ants (including carpenter ants), cockroaches, termites, silverfish, earwigs, centipedes, and over 50 other species common in Commerce City homes. The treatment is permanent — borate doesn’t break down or lose effectiveness over time. Commerce City homeowners who install TAP never need to retreat their attic for crawling insect control.
TAP pest control insulation is most effective when combined with comprehensive pest entry point sealing — and Level Up includes this as a standard part of every Commerce City TAP installation. Before any insulation goes in, we inspect and seal every gap in your soffits, fascia, plumbing penetrations, and roof-wall junctions that rodents use to access Commerce City attics. This combination — sealed entry points plus an inhospitable insulation environment — addresses rodent pressure at both the access and habitat level.
Cellulose-based TAP insulation has the same excellent acoustic properties as standard cellulose blown-in — it reduces sound transmission between floors and from outside significantly better than fiberglass. Commerce City homeowners near high-traffic corridors (Colorado Blvd, Colfax, I-25, I-70) report noticeable improvement in exterior sound levels after TAP installation. For a product that already outperforms on thermal and pest control, the acoustic benefit is a welcome third advantage.

INSTALLATION PROCESS
Pest Control Insulation Installation Process in Commerce City
step 1
Free Inspection
We assess current pest activity, existing insulation condition, entry point vulnerabilities, and R-value. We document all findings before recommending a scope.
step 2
Entry Point Sealing
All pest access points in the attic envelope are sealed before insulation begins. This step is as important as the insulation itself for long-term effectiveness.
step 3
Old Insulation Removal (If Contaminated)
Contaminated insulation removed and safely disposed of before TAP is installed.
step 4
TAP Installation
Machine-installed to R-49 with depth gauges throughout the attic floor.
step 5
Documentation
Depth photos taken for Xcel Energy rebate documentation.
Cost in Commerce City, CO
Pest Control Insulation Cost in Commerce City — vs. Ongoing Pest Control Services
TAP pest control insulation in Commerce City costs more than standard cellulose blown-in. Over five years, the savings from eliminated pest control services typically exceed the TAP premium by 2–3x, making it a net savings even before counting the energy efficiency benefits. Xcel Energy rebates apply to the insulation component and further improve the economics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our Pest Control Insulation
Yes — TAP pest control insulation is safe for humans and mammals at installation concentrations. The borate treatment is EPA-registered, has been used safely in household products for over 100 years, and the concentrations effective against insects are far below the threshold of concern for people and pets. TAP’s safety profile is one reason it’s the only insulation product registered as a pesticide by the EPA.
TAP insulation is EPA-registered for control of ants (including carpenter ants), cockroaches, silverfish, earwigs, termites, centipedes, millipedes, and over 50 other crawling insect species common in Commerce City. It does not directly control flying insects or rodents — though combined with proper entry point sealing during installation, it addresses the access and habitat conditions that drive rodent infestations in Commerce City attics.
Yes. TAP is cellulose-based blown-in insulation that meets all Xcel Energy specifications for Commerce City attic insulation rebates. As long as the installation achieves R-49 and includes air sealing, it qualifies for the same $300–$800 rebate range as standard cellulose blown-in.
TAP insulation can last 20+ years. Borate does not break down or lose effectiveness over time — it doesn’t evaporate, degrade, or wash away in Commerce City’s dry climate. As long as the insulation remains in place at proper depth (which it will, since cellulose is dimensionally stable), it provides continuous pest control. The insulation itself has the same lifespan as standard cellulose blown-in — effectively the lifetime of your Commerce City home.
No. TAP insulation cannot be installed over existing attic insulation. The attic must be fully cleared before TAP is installed to ensure proper coverage, performance, and effectiveness. If your existing insulation is contaminated with rodent droppings or moisture damage, removal is recommended before TAP installation — installing over contaminated material buries the problem rather than solving it.
