How Can Insulation Help Keep Pests Out of Your Home?

Pests like rodents, insects, and other critters can find their way into your home through gaps, cracks, and poorly insulated areas. Proper insulation not only improves energy efficiency but also acts as a barrier against unwanted intruders. At Koala Insulation of North Chicagoland, we offer solutions that protect your home from pests while enhancing comfort and efficiency.

Why Pests Target Homes

Homes with gaps, leaks, or old insulation are more susceptible to pest infestations. Common entry points include:

• Attics and rooflines
• Wall cavities and vents
• Crawl spaces and basements
• Doors and windows

Pests are drawn to warm, protected areas, especially during colder months.

How Proper Insulation Prevents Pests

• Seals Entry Points: Spray foam and properly installed batt insulation fill gaps that pests use to enter. Learn more about spray foam insulation.
• Deters Nesting: Dense insulation makes it difficult for rodents and insects to build nests in attics and walls. Learn more about blown-in insulation.
• Moisture Control: Proper insulation helps prevent damp conditions that attract pests and promote mold growth. Learn more about crawl space insulation.
• Air Sealing: Eliminates small cracks and gaps around doors, windows, and vents to reduce pest access. Learn more about air sealing.
