Thermal Termite Treatments in Oceanside & San Diego County, CA
When most people think of termite treatments, they probably picture a home or business covered by a giant, brightly colored tent signaling fumigation. While this treatment has proven to be effective, it’s not perfect for every homeowner. That’s why Major League Pest offers an alternative here in Oceanside, California and greater San Diego County: thermal termite treatments. This chemical-free solution is perfect for anyone in search of a natural alternative to termite control with fewer inconveniences to worry about.
How Thermal Termite Treatment Works
Whether you need treatment in just one small part of your property or throughout a much larger area of it, Major League Pest’s thermal treatments can get the job done in six to eight hours. Our trained service technicians use specially designed heaters, which pump warm air into the building through Mylar ducts, to raise temperatures from 140 up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit. This is roughly the same temperature as a sauna, and goes well above the 120-degree temperature needed to kill termites within a span of 30 minutes. Our method ensures both the insects and their eggs won’t survive a single treatment, even if they’re in hard-to-reach or even inaccessible areas.

How We Protect Your Possessions During Thermal Treatment
With traditional termite fumigation treatment, you essentially have to uproot your life for several days while your building is uninhabitable. But with thermal treatment, you don’t have to move out, bag your food and medicine, or worry about chemicals and odor. We keep the heat confined to the treatment area using thermal drapes, protecting many of your possessions in termite-free areas, and use special thermal blankets to cover stereos, computers, TVs, and similar heat-sensitive items that cannot easily be removed from a room. You will have to temporarily move smaller items such as plants, artwork, candles, CDs, plastics, and software, but that’s all.
