New and trademarked by Nisus, Pro-Shield Nsulation isn’t just a sustainably made cellulose insulation — it’s a registered pesticide for termites, cockroaches, ants, crickets and other listed pests. As a blown-in insulation with 14.72 percent orthoboric acid, it offers an additional line of pest defense while improving energy efficiency and reducing noise.

Pro-Shield is an ideal complement to industry staples such as Bora-Care and Tim-bor, the borate-based termiticidal, fungicidal and insecticidal products that are long-trusted entries in the Nisus portfolio. This innovative solution offers pest control companies an additional revenue stream and serves as a smarter way for homeowners to safeguard their homes. Plus, it is made in the USA with 100 percent recycled cellulose and up to 50 percent renewable energy, making it a smart choice for the planet.

“Pro-Shield is not your average insulation,” Harry Bryan, Nisus director of business development, notes in a news release. “It’s not a treated article; it’s a pesticide in and of itself. Pro-Shield combines the proven power of borates with the insulation properties of cellulose, offering a multi-layered defense system that does more than just keep the home warm. It helps protect one of your biggest investments from hidden threats.”

Jim Sparks, Nisus director of product sales, adds in the news release, “Our nationwide sales and training team provides exceptional education on the ins and outs of defending property from pests and other threats. PMPs can present an entire roster of home protection strategies to builders and homeowners. Our team will demonstrate new revenue streams from the crawl space to the attic.”            

Nisus President and CEO Lee Barrett agrees, concluding that pest management professionals (PMPs) “are critical to the defense of public and private property from wood-destroying organisms. We are excited to offer them an exciting new way to do that, especially with a product that helps them to do so sustainably and effectively while providing their customers with a new service that brings peace of mind. Our team is always available to answer any questions about Pro-Shield Nsulation — whether it’s about installation best practices or label specifics. We’re here to support our fellow industry professionals every step of the way.”
