Why is attic insulation important?
Proper levels of attic insulation can play a key role in maintaining a consistent indoor temperature – eight in 10 homes have less attic insulation than recommended!2 Attic insulation helps reduce heat transfer through the roof, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. The attic insulation Terminix uses also provides an additional layer of protection against certain pests3 and is fire-resistant.
Our attic insulation services are just one of the many ways Terminix can help protect your home. Additional benefits of attic insulation can include lowering energy costs and reducing outside noise. Explore our full range of home services to find solutions tailored to your needs.
Attic insulation types from Terminix
Several types of insulation can be used in attics, each designed to help regulate temperature and improve energy efficiency. Because attics often have tight or hard-to-reach spaces, blown-in insulation is usually the most convenient option. When choosing insulation, the R-value (a measure of how well the insulation resists heat flow) is also an important factor to consider.
Common attic insulation options include fiberglass, spray foam, and cellulose. Terminix offers cellulose insulation for attics, which is designed to be blown into place for even coverage and contains a pest control additive that can help your home fight certain pests when they contact it.
Cellulose insulation
This eco-responsible insulation is made from at least 85% recycled paper and can be blown into place for even coverage, making it ideal for hard-to-reach attic spaces.
- High R-value for ideal home comfort
- Adds a layer of pest protection against certain pests
- May help reduce heating and cooling costs
- Fire-resistant

Terminix is great. I had them for over twenty years. Love the new termite system. I also had my attic cleaned and new blow in insulation placed in. This insulation is better than what was blown in twenty years ago. Cost a little more, but I have not needed a tent for termites in over 20 years. The Team that provides quarterly services are great.

I can't say enough great things about the service I have received. Not only do they service my pest needs, but they also blew treated insulation in my attic. Service was fantastic all the way up to the manager who personally came out to check on the jobs. The crew was polite, courteous, but most of all very professional. They even cleaned their mess up when the job was complete. I loaned them a ladder to assist and when they were finished, they actually hung it back up in my garage. I am extremely happy with my decision to use Terminix for all of my pest control as well as the insulation project.

Greg did a great job with our service! He was friendly and knowledgeable. The service was for our newly built home for which I wanted the crawl space and attic treated really well before adding the final insulation, and Greg did a thorough job of that, along with treating the entire perimeter of our home. Glad I chose Terminix. pent.

Wow! Terminix is the best for (ask for William) insect control and animal pests! Reasonable and highly efficient and effective! Eric on Friday swiftly determined the problem and on Monday Technicians Christopher & Christian from 8:15 AM to 11 AM started the WINNING TERMINATE THE PESTS PROCESS and at 3 PM Terminex Innovative Technician Dennis at 3 PM arrived to set attic traps and complete the process with installing permanent roof vent pipe covers to end it! TERMINIX PUTS IN TREATED INSULATION THAT KEEPS ALL PESTS OUT! HURRAH! Terminix is very efficient, friendly personnel who are knowledgeable, effective and we highly recommend Terminix. 👍 Lucille & Felix H.

Alex and Cody were great. They did a large attic remediation job and performed services as exactly as described. They walked me through each step of the work they were doing and made sure I understood and was on board with everything they were doing. I am very happy with the quality of work and they left my house and yard cleaner than they found it. I would recommend Terminix for anyone looking for attic insulation work.

Frequently Asked Questions About Attic Insulation
The amount of attic insulation you need depends on your location and temperature zone, your home’s specific needs, and when your home was built. Many older homes are considered under-insulated by today’s standards, especially as energy costs continue to rise. Terminix offers a free inspection to evaluate your current attic insulation levels and determine if additional insulation is recommended.
During an attic insulation inspection, a Terminix technician carefully examines your attic to assess both the insulation's performance and potential pest activity. We look for signs of heat loss, gaps, or thin spots in existing insulation, as well as areas where pests could enter or nest. The technician may also check for moisture issues or ventilation problems.
In many cases, new insulation can be installed directly over existing materials, so removing old insulation isn’t always necessary. During your free attic insulation inspection, a Terminix expert will assess your attic to determine whether removal is recommended before installing new insulation. If your current insulation is old, pest-infested, or has moisture damage, it should be removed first. This process is best handled by a professional.
The cost of our attic insulation service will depend on the size of your attic and the amount of insulation needed. While pricing varies by home, the energy savings you gain over time can help offset the initial investment.
A properly insulated attic should have even coverage, adequate depth, and no signs of moisture or pests. Signs that insulation may need to be replaced include uneven room temperatures, drafts, rising energy bills, water damage, or pest activity.
