There are two general approaches to applying heat to an affected area and it depends on the pest control situation.
Wood Core Heat Treatment
For wood-destroying organisms, such as Drywood termites, beetles, or carpenter
ants, we use our Wood Core ThermaPureHeat® Treatment to heat the core temperature
of the wood to a level lethal to wood destroying organisms. We hold
that temperature for up to 8 hours in order to kill all lifecycles of
the targeted organisms.

Ambient Air Heat Treatment
For pests other that are not wood-destroying, but instead live out in
the “open,” we use heat to increase the ambient air temperature of the
room or structure so that any pest located in the targeted zone are
eliminated. Ambient treatments have the added benefit of improving
indoor air quality while working to eliminate pests. Temperatures of
the targeted area are monitored and held for up to 8 hours for smaller
structures or up to 24 hours for large facilities.
