Did you know you could reduce landfill waste and control pests at the same time? Terminix’s new eco-conscious insulation, R-Plus, does just that. It’s an Energy Star-rated pest-control insulation made of 85 percent recycled newsprint, which is bonded with boric acid to help eliminate pests.

Another bonus: by insulating your home, you could save up to 20 percent on heating and cooling costs. "The savings are often most important, but the added pest protection and environmental benefits of R-Plus also give homeowners peace of mind," said Tom Brackett, Terminix president and chief operating officer. "Installing one 1,500 square-foot home with R-Plus Insulation recycles as much newsprint as a typical family will throw away in 40 years."

Not enough? With the R-Plus insulation, you can also be eligible for up to a $1,500 federal tax credit.
