Termite Low Impact Programs
Termite Treatments: Thermal
Another Antimite method to control destructive pests like termites is our thermal treatment. This proven technique uses heat to kill any drywood termites infesting any structural wood. For the most effective results, highly trained Antimite technicians identify and isolate specific locations of drywood termite activity and expose these areas to sustained application of heated air. While laboratory tests have proven that application of 120-degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes is lethal to drywood termites, Antimite isolates and raises the temperature of infested areas to 160 degrees – about as hot as a sauna. This not only kills termites, but their eggs as well.
The Benefits of Thermal Treatments
A growing number of Antimite customers prefer our thermal termite eradication program for it’s many benefits, including:
- No chemicals are used
- No need to vacate the premises
- 1 Day treatment process (in most cases)
- No odor residue from the treatment
- No roof damage (sometimes caused by “tenting”)
- No bagging of foodstuffs or medicines required
- No potential harm to pets and aquatic creatures
With our thermal treatment process, Antimite’s Heat Division can treat large or small areas of termite infestation with a single application in only six (6) to eight (8) hours. Individual areas of a structure can be sectioned off so treatment is confined to infested areas only. Even inaccessible areas, such as attic areas, can be effectively treated.
Protecting Your Heat-Sensitive Items
Antimite protects any of your large items that cannot easily be removed from a room (TVs, stereo systems, etc.) with special thermal blankets during treatment. We recommend removing sensitive items such as plants, artwork, candles, plastics, CDs and the like from any area receiving thermal treatment.
