Thermokill Heat Treatment™
Thermokill Heat Treatment™
THERMOKILL™ is a chemical-free treatment that kills Drywood Termites, Powderpost Beatles, Bed Bugs and other insects through the targeted application of heat. Thermokill delivers safe, heated air to any enclosed space. Our proprietary system circulates the heated air throughout the space, penetrating walls, wood beams, ceilings, floors, cabinets, doorways, closets and furniture where these insects live—eliminating eggs, larvae and adults. We call this penetrating heat – DragonFire.
Thermal Treatment Kill Point
High-temperature, flexible ducting is used to bring the heat into the structure allowing the propane heater and propane tanks to remain safely outside. Specialized fans, capable of operating in extreme heat, circulate the air throughout the structure, eliminating stratification, and forcing the heated air into hard to reach spaces like cabinets, closets, under furniture and inside drawers.
The heat is maintained above the temperature required to kill the targeted pests for a period of time allowing it to penetrate deeply to the core of wood beams, wood molding and trim and all targeted areas. Strategically placed heat sensors and thermal imaging technology are used to accurately measure and record the process, ensuring even heat distribution. Following the treatment, a detailed report is produced to demonstrate heat exposure at the correct temperature for the required time.
