Kill Bugs with Heat™
Heat is an ecological and technological breakthrough in treating structures like single family homes, apartments, condominiums, hospitals, nursing facilities, medical laboratories, offices and industrial complexes. Heat eliminates drywood termites, powderpost beetles, carpenter ants and other wood destroying insects.
Heat can be used to treat entire structures, confined areas, or for localized, spot treatment.
Rid Your House of Pests Without Harmful Chemicals.
Heat is more effective than other non-chemical method.
In a five year study of termite eradication methods ordered by the California Structural Pest Control Board and conducted by the University of California, Heat was the only non-chemical method to successfully treat entire structures.
Other non-chemical methods such as Freezing, Electrogun and Microwave may be effective in small areas, but cannot treat entire structures in one application.
Heat can treat large areas, small areas or entire structures with a single application in only 6 to 8 hours. No 3 day move-outs. The structure is safe to enter immediately after treatment.
Thermal drapes are hung from the eaves, preventing roof damage.
Trained service technicians use specially designed heaters. The Heat flows through flexible ducting to the designated treatment areas and is confined by thermal drapes.
Inside temperatures are monitored by state-of-the-art digital thermometers and needle thin temperature probes to ensure that wood core temperatures are maintained at levels which are lethal to wood destroying insects.
Why consumers prefer Heat over fumigation
- No toxic chemicals
- No overnight move out
- No odor
- No bagging of food
- No harm to people & pets
Heat sensitive items need protection
Large heat sensitive objects like TVs, stereos and computers are protected by special thermal blankets. Items such as plants, artwork, candles, plastics, software and CDs are temporarily removed from the treatment area.
No hotter than a sauna
While laboratory tests have proven 120°F for 30 minutes is lethal to wood destroying insects, heat trained technicians raise temperatures to 160°F, no hotter than a sauna, to achieve 130°F wood-core temperatures for one hour. This ensures that wood destroying insects and their eggs do not survive. Heat also decontaminates the area being treated by eliminating most bacteria, odors and fungi.
Heat is Clean and 100% Efficient
"The Heat treatment didn't cost any more than fumigation and we got our money's worth because we didn't have to move out or bag our food. The job was done in 6 hours and all the termites were killed without chemicals." Donna Condor, Homeowner
No Move Out or Shut Down
"I didn't want to relocate my employees for several days while a company sprayed for bugs. The treatment was done overnight. The next morning it was business as usual." Jerry Styner, Business owner
The Experts Agree It's HEAT...
William Curry, Director of the International Pest Management Institute based in Maryland and former scientist for the EPA has found it to be perfectly safe for our properties and environment and thoroughly effective.
“The heating process provided an effective non-chemical alternative to conventional pest control.”
- Dr. Michael K. Rust. PH.D. Chair for the Department of Entomology, University of California, Riverside.
“Heat technology shows the greatest promise of any current alternative tool for drywood termite control.”
- The Bio-Integral Resource Center in Berkeley, California.
In her recently published book “Designer Poisons” published by the Pesticide Education Center, San Francisco, CA, Dr. Marion Moses, a physician with many years experience investigating pesticide related health problems, makes the following statement, “The thermal [pest eradication] method is the best by far for treating an entire structure, and we highly recommend it. This is a completely safe and highly effective nontoxic technology.”
