What is ThermaPure Heat?
ThermaPure Heat is a new treatment that kills termites, bed bugs, and other pests, but is perfectly safe for the homeowner. The new concept behind ThermaPure Heat is that hot air is used in place of poisonous gas. There are several major advantages and a great deal of convenience for homeowners in using hot air instead of pesticides (click on our "Benefits" page).

How It Works:
Drywood termites and their eggs are killed by as little as 120ºF when held for one half-hour. This temperature must be obtained in the core of the wood where termites live. To accomplish this, air temperatures are raised to between 140ºF and 160ºF and held for up to 6 to 8 hours. Temperatures can exceed these ranges based on structure, contents, and safety. This is similar to the temperatures inside a sauna or a car on a hot summer day. To determine when lethal temperatures have been obtained, small thermocouple wires (temperature probes) are inserted into the infested wood. These wires lead to digital thermometers, which display the temperature from inside the infested wood. This gives us the unique ability to determine when a killing temperature has been obtained. No other technology provides this type of confirmation on every job, showing that the treatment has been successful.
