Heat Treatment - eliminate pest insects

Entotherm heat treatment is a chemical-free method of pest control which can eliminate pest insects such as bed bugs and cockroaches, through the targeted application of heat. It's a quick and effective treatment that reaches all areas of an infestation without causing structural damage.

This heat treatment is also a mobile system delivering dry transferable heat to any contained area, large or small, infested with insect pests. This flexibility means it is suitable for a range of customers including hotels, guest houses, food manufacturers, food retailers, public transportation, shipping containers, residential and care homes.

Benefits of heat treatment for your business:

• Minimal business disruption, as a single, quick, efficient treatment solves pest problems.
• Protects your business reputation as any pest problems are solved quickly and effectively.
• Chemical-free process allows treated areas to be re-used directly afterwards, with no residual side effects.
• Versatile, with the option to treat multiple areas simultaneously, hence saving time.
• Removes cost of disposing of items that cannot be chemically treated e.g. mattresses, furnishings.

Heat treatment kills all lifecycle stages of pests, from eggs and larvae to adults in one treatment. The heat kills insects such as bed bugs and cockroaches by denaturing the proteins within their bodies and disrupting the waxy layers on the outside of the insect, causing dehydration.

The heat treatment process works by heating a liquid syrup, and delivering it through insulated pipes to heat exchangers placed strategically within the infested treatment area. Heat probes and thermal imaging technology is used to confirm all target insect pests have been eradicated effectively.
