Various insects have distinct thermal death points
Different Insects have distinct thermal kill points, which refers to the minimum temperature required to kill them within a specific time frame.

Cockroach – 130F thermal kill point

Pros Of Heat Treatment:
Zero Chemicals
Faster treatment time – The heat process requires approx. Eight hours to complete, compared to three days for chemical fumigation.
It eliminates the cost and inconvenience of homeowners having to move out for three days. (Lodging, food, boarding of pets)
Our supervisors and technicians are on-site for the duration of the treatment, so there is no need to worry or hire security. At the same time, your home sits unoccupied for days during chemical fumigation.
No risk of roof, satellite, or antenna damage. We enclose the exterior from the eaves down. Chemical fumigation requires walking and dragging heavy tarps across the roof, which may damage the roofing material and other items on the roof. Fumigation requires you to sign a release of liability for the roof, satellite dish, antenna, and plant damage.
Heat kills insect eggs and wood-boring beetles. Chemical fumigation does not destroy the eggs or eradicate wood-boring beetle infestations.
Heat can also be used to kill mold, bacteria, viruses, dust mites, and other indoor allergens.
Heat treatment reduces or eliminates odors and leaves the building smelling fresh.
Heat dries out wet wood members, which helps to prevent mold, fungi/dry-rot, and termite re-infestation.
Did You Know:
Per the California Department Of Consumer Affairs: Fumigation and Heat Treatment
are the only two effective methods for total (whole-house) eradication. The ability for heat to penetrate inside of wood to kill dry wood termites makes the Heat Treatment process an effective non-chemical tool for whole structure eradication of these pests.
Heat Treatment Vs Typical Pest Control:
The preparation needed for Heat Treatment pest control is usually much less compared to traditional pest extermination.
As heat can penetrate large furniture pieces, there is no need to relocate them from walls and corners as you would for pesticide treatment. Professionals applying pesticides in your infested area will require unobstructed access to areas where furniture may be blocking.
