Yes, new insulation reduces energy loss while helping deter insects and rodents from nesting in your attic and other spaces. It’s also key to replace contaminated insulation that may be rife with bacteria & animal feces. Pest control insulation improves air quality, removes lingering odors or allergens, and prevents new rodent infestations.

Nisus Pro-Shield Nsulation is widely considered the best insulation for pest control. Unlike other pest-resistant insulation, Pro-Shield isn’t just treated with borate—it’s made with 14.72% orthoboric acid blended into the cellulose fill. This blown-in insulation is long-lasting, odorless, and non-corrosive, containing no asbestos, glass fibers, or formaldehyde. Pro-Shield is made from recycled cellulose products with up to 50% renewable energy.

Yes. Regular insulation is not treated, meaning that pests can (and often will) nest in the material or easily tunnel through it to reach the warmth and food sources inside your home. This type of insulation usually isn’t fully sealed off to invading pests, either, whereas pest-resistant insulation creates a more thorough barrier.

Cost varies based on the size of your attic or the space you’re looking to insulate, the amount of damaged insulation that needs to be removed, pest contamination levels, and the type of insulation selected. Hawx provides clear, upfront estimates after an inspection so you know exactly what to expect.

Yes. Pest Control insulation is proven to deter many pest species while providing excellent energy efficiency. It’s an effective upgrade for homes suffering from repeated pest activity or insulation damage.
