TERMITE HEAT TREATMENTS
May 06, 2024Heat Treatments for Termites: A Chemical-Free Solution for Pest Control
Termites are a homeowner’s worst nightmare, causing extensive damage before they’re even detected. While traditional termite treatments often rely on chemical fumigation, heat treatments offer an effective, eco-friendly alternative for eliminating these destructive pests.
How Does Heat Treatment Work?
Heat treatment, also known as thermal remediation, involves raising the temperature inside an infested area to a level lethal to termites—typically around 120–140°F. Special equipment heats the space, ensuring that termites, including those hidden deep within walls and wooden structures, are eradicated without the use of chemicals.
Is Heat Treatment Right for You?
Heat treatments are best for localized infestations, such as drywood termites in furniture, attics, or specific areas of a home. For widespread or subterranean termite problems, additional control methods may be necessary.
If you suspect termites in your home, a professional termite inspection can determine whether heat treatment is the best option. Protect your home today—schedule an inspection to keep termites out for good!
