Termite heat treatments are an eco-friendly and highly effective method for eliminating drywood termites and localized infestations without the use of chemical pesticides. This process uses specialized equipment to raise the temperature of targeted areas—such as attics, wall voids, or entire rooms—to a level that is lethal to termites at all life stages. Because heat penetrates deep into wood and other structural materials, it can reach hidden colonies that might otherwise go untreated. Heat treatments offer a fast, residue-free solution that allows most properties to be reoccupied the same day, making them a preferred choice for homeowners seeking a non-chemical approach.
Termite Heat Treatments - What to Expect
Preparing for a termite heat treatment involves removing or protecting heat-sensitive items to prevent damage. Before service, our team provides a detailed checklist to guide you through the process, which includes clearing clutter, securing valuables, and making the treatment zone easily accessible. During the service, technicians use sensors and high-powered heaters to raise and maintain the temperature at lethal levels for termites, carefully monitoring conditions to ensure effectiveness while protecting your structure. Afterward, the area is cooled and safe for immediate re-entry.

Technicians will seal and isolate the treatment area, then use specialized heaters and fans to evenly distribute heat. Sensors are placed throughout to monitor temperatures, ensuring they reach and maintain lethal levels for the duration of the treatment. The process typically lasts several hours, depending on the size and complexity of the infestation.

We rented the heaters, this guy was So reasonable in price and understanding. He worked with us when things were not going as planned for us, like our power going out for hours (this had nothing to do with the heaters, it was a transforer.)
