Pest Control Insulation Colorado Springs | Level Up Insulation
TAP insulation — Colorado Springs' only solution that insulates and eliminates pests at the same time.
Pest control insulation is a real product category — and Colorado Springs 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 Colorado Springs Utilities 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 Colorado Springs attic insulation. Level Up is one of the few insulation companies in the Pikes Peak region authorized to install TAP-certified insulation. See our statewide pest control insulation in Colorado page for full product details.
Why Colorado Springs
Why Colorado Springs Homeowners Choose Pest Control Insulation
Pest control insulation solves a specific problem that Colorado Springs’ geography has made worse over the past decade. Colorado Springs’ location at the base of Pikes Peak, adjacent to Black Forest, and surrounded by open space and military installation buffer zones puts hundreds of thousands of homes directly adjacent to permanent wildlife habitat. Every fall, as temperatures drop at 6,035 feet, 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 Colorado Springs 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 Colorado Springs Homes
TAP Insulation — Thermal Performance in Colorado Springs
TAP pest control insulation delivers R-3.6 per inch — equivalent to premium cellulose blown-in and well above fiberglass performance. In Colorado Springs attic applications, it installs to R-49 (Colorado code standard enforced by the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department) exactly like standard blown-in insulation, qualifies for Colorado Springs Utilities attic insulation rebates in the same way, and performs identically from a thermal standpoint. The pest control function is entirely additive.
TAP Insulation — Pest Elimination
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 Colorado Springs homes near open space and the foothills. The treatment is permanent — borate doesn’t break down or lose effectiveness over time.
TAP Insulation — Rodent Entry Point Sealing
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 Colorado Springs 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 Colorado Springs attics. This combination — sealed entry points plus an inhospitable insulation environment — addresses rodent pressure at both the access and habitat level.
TAP Insulation — Acoustic Performance
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. Colorado Springs homeowners near busy corridors or near military flight paths (Peterson SFB, the Air Force Academy) report noticeable improvement in exterior sound levels after TAP installation.

INSTALLATION PROCESS
Pest Control Insulation Installation Process in Colorado Springs
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
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.
step 4
TAP Installation
Machine-installed to R-49 with depth gauges throughout the attic floor.
step 5
Documentation

Cost in Colorado Springs, CO
Pest Control Insulation Cost in Colorado Springs — vs. Ongoing Pest Control Services
TAP pest control insulation in Colorado Springs 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. Colorado Springs Utilities 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 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 the Pikes Peak region. 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.
Yes. TAP is cellulose-based blown-in insulation that meets all Colorado Springs Utilities specifications for attic insulation rebates. As long as the installation achieves R-49 and includes air sealing, it qualifies for up to $1,250 in CSU rebates — the same as standard cellulose blown-in.
TAP insulation can last 50–100 years. Borate does not break down or lose effectiveness over time. As long as the insulation remains in place at proper depth, it provides continuous pest control.
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.
