Having TAP Insulation (or Energy Star Insulation) installed in your attic is a benefit to your home as well as yourself. When you have TAP installed, a Northwest Exterminating professional will check the current r-value (indicates an insulation’s resistance to heat flow) in your attic and let you know how much TAP Insulation will be needed to bring your home to the Department of Energy’s standards. The Department of Energy recommends an r-value of 49 with a minimum of 30. Once you have been notified how much insulation you will need, TAP insulation will be added to the current insulation in your attic.
Attics are known to be housing for invaders like wildlife, rodents and pests. Oftentimes, the attic insulation is damaged by these un-welcomed visitors by moving the insulation or contaminating it with their urine and fecal matter. Northwest Exterminating will remove any contaminated insulation and replace it with TAP Insulation to rid your home of any health risk that contaminated insulation may cause.
TAP Insulation offers several benefits to the homeowner:

This past summer we experienced extreme heat in Atlanta. The rising temperatures not only put a strain on our bodies and outdoor activities but it also put a strain on our energy bills as well. I have been in my home for 8 years and this summer was the highest my energy bill has ever been in the summertime. And if last year’s winter was any indication of how bitter the winter will be…then we’re in for another cold one in the coming season. Luckily, Northwest Exterminating provides a solution to the rising energy bills due to the extreme temperatures we’ve recently faced in the summer and winter times.

Here are some unique facts on ants that you probably didn’t know:
Crickets are not only annoying with their high pitched chirps that keep you up all night but they can also be damaging to your home. Crickets feed on just about anything. This includes clothes, wall paper, wood, food in your pantry and even wrappers. It is important to avoid crickets getting into your home to avoid damages and them laying eggs inside your home. Female crickets lay hundreds, sometimes thousands of eggs. The good news is that these eggs can take about a year to hatch. The bad news is that detection can be difficult, if not impossible. These are all reasons why it is so important to keep crickets out of your home.
The best way to control crickets is to prevent them from entering your home in the first place. Block off any entry points for the crickets which may include sealing any cracks and crevices, and covering any areas with screens. Crickets love vegetation and look for plants surrounding your home. Keep any vegetation trimmed and under control. General housekeeping is important in the control of crickets, as well as other pests. Clean up debris in the garage, basement and gardens. Messy places that are rarely visited are prime locations for cricket nests. Cover and seal garbage bins so you are not attracting them to your debris and food. Regular maintenance of your drains and roofs are important for cleaning out any nests that crickets may have built in the debris. Crickets, like other pests, are attracted to bright lights outside of the home. Replace any bright lights with low-lights that emit a yellowish glow.
If crickets have already invaded your home, call a pest control company to get rid of the pests.
