Why heat treatment?
Heat treatments are 100% effective when done properly and 100% more convenient for the customer. Heat treatments take only a few hours to complete and leaves no harmful residues. This means no packing up food, no leaving overnight, and most importantly, no surviving pests. Also, our technicians rarely need to walk on the roof to hang their tarps. Thermal Heat can treat large and small areas. We can treat a single wall or an entire shopping mall all at once. This process is great when multiple units are involved because it allows complete treatment of one unit with no inconvenience to the neighboring units. By treating only the areas the infestation is found, as opposed to the entire building, you save time and money.
What is a heat treatment and how does it work?
Heat treatments use heated air instead of toxic chemicals to eliminate pests. Because insects have a low tolerance for heat, they die at temperatures as low as 120 degrees in a matter of minutes. Insects such as drywood termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, bed bugs and cockroaches can be killed using a heat treatment. The treatment usually takes 4 to 6 hours to complete.
The treatment uses propane heaters to deliver heated air through ducts to the infested area(s). The ambient air temperature in the infested area(s) is brought to approximately 150 degrees and held until the internal wood temperatures reach 130 degrees. This level is held for a minimum of 1 hour to ensure an effective treatment. Tarps are hung from the eaves to create a thermal barrier and heat-sensitive items are either removed from the area or protected with special heat-sensitive thermal blankets.
