Professional Heat treatment kills all lifecycle stages of pest insects – eliminating eggs, larvae and adult insects all in one treatment. The heat eradicates pests such as bed bugs and cockroaches by denaturing the protein within their bodies and disrupting the waxy layers on the outside of the insect, causing dehydration.

Our Heat Treatment uses Far Infrared rays (FIR) – which work in a similar way to the suns heat, to penetrate deep into objects. Far Infrared heaters are used to emit invisible waves which are contained within the Entotherm Compact bubble. These far infrared rays are highly efficient at heating objects and not air, so penetrate items (like mattresses, furniture & furnishings) quicker, deeper and more effectively to swiftly eliminate pest insects.

This means quicker, more even distribution of heat to eliminate pests more effectively yet using lower energy consumption. Internal heat monitors ensure the contents being treated are carefully and evenly brought up to treatment temperatures whilst constantly being monitored.

The heat treatment bubble is compact so that it can be assembled in most rooms, yet flexible enough to be able to treat mattresses, bedframes, bedside cabinets, lamps, rugs, curtains, side tables, small book shelves, sofas, chairs and other furnishings.
