Energy Efficiency Meets Pest Protection—Tailored for Queen City Homes
Charlotte’s unique climate and housing styles create the perfect storm for rising energy bills and persistent pest issues. Whether you live in a mid-century ranch in Myers Park, a craftsman-style home in Plaza Midwood, or a newer build in Ballantyne, your attic plays a major role in your comfort—and pest control.
At Lookout Pest Control, we install TAP® (Thermal, Acoustical, Pest Control) Insulation, a high-performance blown-in cellulose insulation that helps keep homes comfortable and pests out. It’s an EPA-registered solution that combines energy savings with long-term pest protection—something every Charlotte homeowner can benefit from.
Why Charlotte Homes Need TAP Insulation
Charlotte’s climate is no joke. Hot, muggy summers, high humidity, and cold snaps in winter all put pressure on your attic insulation. At the same time, tree-lined neighborhoods, wood-framed homes, and open crawl spaces make it easy for pests to sneak into your attic.
Here’s why TAP is especially beneficial for homes in Charlotte:
Pest activity in attics is common in wooded areas like Huntersville, Matthews, and Mountain Island Lake
HVAC systems work overtime in uninsulated or under-insulated attics, especially in homes with second floors or vaulted ceilings
Pests like roaches, silverfish, and ants are drawn to the cellulose-based insulation already in your attic—TAP stops them cold
High moisture levels in crawl spaces can rise into the attic, making it a breeding ground for mold and pests if not insulated properly
Energy bills in Charlotte continue to rise, and TAP helps keep those costs in check year-round

Pest Control + Energy Efficiency in One Step
Charlotte’s unique blend of hot summers, wet winters, and humid conditions makes insulation even more critical. Poor attic insulation can lead to:
Uneven heating and cooling
Excess attic moisture (a pest and mold magnet)
High electric bills
Entry points for roaches, rodents, and silverfish
TAP Insulation combats these issues by creating a barrier that insulates and protects, all in one step. It’s especially valuable for homes with older batt insulation, open soffits, or attic pest activity.
TAP® Insulation is effective against:
- Ants
- Bed bugs
- Booklice
- Boxelder bugs
- Centipedes
- Cockroaches
- Crickets
- Darkling beetles
- Dermestids
- Earwigs
- Firebrats
- Kudzu bugs
- Lady beetles
- Millipedes
- Pillbugs
- Silverfish
- Slugs
- Snails
- Sowbugs
- Stink bugs
- Termites (including Formosan termites)
