PermaTreat Home Improvement Services

In addition to our Pest and Termite Control Services, PermaTreat also offers two valuable home improvement services that can protect your home and save you money - the Leaf Defier Gutter Protection System and TAP Insulation.

Leaf Defier Gutter Protection System

PermaTreat’s gutter protection system is an excellent way to prevent the creation of a potentially disastrous situation at the roof line of your house. Leaves, branches, and other debris are regularly filling up your gutter. If you are not constantly cleaning the gutters out, rotting organic matter will begin to accumulate and this is the perfect environment for a host of insects. These insects, (some of them wood destroying), are capable of invading your home from the gutter and causing damage or just being a nuisance. Once installed PermaTreat’s GPS system prevents debris from building up in the gutters. Stop risking your life on a ladder cleaning gutters.

Leaf Defier is an open cell multi-polymer insert, specially shaped and cut to fit snugly into your gutter. Even during the heaviest of rainstorms, the water flows through the Leaf Defier into the gutter valley and out of the downspout.

Clogged gutters can cause water damage to your home. Let us install Leaf Defier and protect your home from foundation problems, basement leaks, rotting windows, rotting fascia boards and soffits, mold and mildew,
and even insect infestation. It’s sleek and streamlined design is virtually invisible once installed and will not interfere with the beauty of your home.

Give us a call and we do it all.

Thermal, Acoustical Pest Control (TAP) Insulation

Thermal, Acoustical Pest Control (TAP) is an insulation that will not only save you money by reducing your heating and air conditioning bill but will eliminate insects that commonly live in your attic as well.

TAP saves energy. TAP saves money by decreasing energy bills. It keeps homes cool in summer and warm in winter for less money; Comfortable year-round. Because TAP is denser than fiberglass insulation, air does not move through it well, so it resists heat transfer by convection, as well as conduction and radiation. And since
there aren’t the leaks and drafts associated with ordinary insulation, mechanical systems don’t work as hard and can be down-sized, further saving money. Areas in the home maintain more uniform temperatures between floors and ceilings, upstairs and downstairs, even next to exterior walls.

TAP also reduces unwelcome noise from outside and helps create a peaceful haven inside the home. Insulated interior walls reduce annoying noises (such as toilets flushing and appliances running) inside a house.

TAP helps control pests in your home as well. Annoying pests can breed and form colonies in the attic and behind walls, coming out at night, seeking food and water. More than just annoying, they can severely damage a house.
TAP is an EPA labeled pest control insulation, treated with pure boric acid. Although deadly to many insects, TAP is acceptable for use around humans and pets. TAP eliminates self-grooming insects, where it is installed, upon contact. Insects cannot build up a tolerance to TAP, and it never needs retreating. TAP helps control ants, cockroaches, silverfish, termites, and other insects.

All-Natural, Permanent, and environmentally friendly, too. TAP is Green! TAP is permanent, made from all-natural boric acid and recycled newsprint; thus while you’re saving energy, you’re also conserving landfill space.
