"When BioBased Insulation is sprayed into the floors, walls and ceilings, it quickly expands to 100 times its size to fill in every crack, crevice, and void….It insulates your home so well you will actually require a smaller HVAC unit in your home or structure…BioBased Insulation is a thermo set plastic foam that is by its nature inert. BioBased Insulation will not support mold growth and is not a food source for rodents, insects or other vermin."

Has anyone tried blown in wool insulation? A company in GA makes it treated with either insecticide or diatomaceous earth. I tested both–the insecticide did not work for me even though it was supposed to be less toxic. I had a mild reaction to the diatomaceous earth sample at first, then it seemed OK. Paragon’s prices are more affordable than other brands of sheep’s wool insulation. But I have read that a family had a moth infestation after using an unnamed brand of sheep’s wool, so am cautious abt. making this investment.
What abt the soy or cashew shell-based foam insulation? has anyone tried that?
Insulation is something that, once in the walls, is permanent, so it’s not a product we can afford to make a mistake using. After last winter’s polar vortex, though, my 1920’s bungalow with no insulation in the walls, needs some help! Dorothy in the Northeast
I’ve used just plain wool batts as insulation in the walls of my cottage in a forest and had no problems. This was before wool was sold as insulation.
I’d choose the diatomaceous earth.
