  3. How You Can Handle It Air sealing should come first. Locate those sly openings and seal them with spray foam or caulk. Particular attention should be paid to the vicinity of electrical penetrations, plumbing vents, and chimneys. Upgrade your attic insulation next. The pink stuff from decades ago doesn’t work nearly as well as modern materials. Because compressed insulation performs poorly, proper installation is also important. Remember ventilation. You need air in your attic. Airflow produced by ridge vents and soffit vents removes stored heat.

  4. Proper Installation Makes All the Difference The first step in stopping something from happening is to put things in the right place. A lot of homeowners make blunders here. They discuss the type of insulation, but not how to put it in. Before adding new attic insulation, skilled insulation contractors fill up any holes and gaps. They know where bugs generally get in and stop them from getting in. It makes a tremendous difference to seal the air.

  5. Choosing Options That Don’t Draw In Pests • Closed-cell spray foam makes a strong wall that is hard to chew through • When made correctly, stiff foam boards keep bugs out • Cellulose insulation that has been treated with boric acid keeps a lot of pests away The therapy is safe for people and keeps bugs away naturally. Don’t leave things lying around that make suitable nesting spots, like edges or loose items.

  6. Don’t Let Your Attic Go from Cozy to Infested In short, don’t wait till you hear scratching sounds at night. Once a year, look in the attic to detect problems before they get worse. Most homeowners don’t spot warning signs that experienced insulation contractors do. They can recommend repairs or upgrades before small problems evolve into big ones that cost a lot of money.

  7. Final Thoughts If your upstairs always feels hotter than the rest of your home, poor insulation may be the reason. Old or damaged insulation can let heat seep in, forcing your AC to work harder. Simple fixes like sealing leaks and upgrading insulation can make a big difference. For more insights, check out these insulation tips to cool your upstairs fast.
