Thermal Assisted Chemical Technology

"T.A.C.T."
Drywood Termite Control

is the latest in effective broad area termite control.is a breakthrough in treating entire structures like single family homes, apartments, condominiums, hospitals, nursing facilities, medical laboratories, offices and industrial complexes. HeatMaster eliminates drywood termites, powder post beetles, carpenter ants, and other wood destroying insects.

is more effective than other non-chemical methods.

In a five year study of termite eradication methods ordered by the California Structural Pest Control Board and conducted by the University of California, Heat was the only non-chemical method to successfully treat entire structures.

Other non-chemical methods such as Freezing, Electrogun and Microwave may be effective in small areas, but cannot treat large areas in one application.

can treat specific areas, target individual units (condos/multiple units), or entire structures in 6-8 hours.

sends your termites packin', NOT your family!. (No move-out!)

'S Trained service technicians use specially designed heaters. The Heat flows through mylar ducts to the designed treatment areas and is confined by the thermal tarps or existing structural components.

Inside temperatures are monitored by a state of the art digital thermometer and needle thin temperature probes to ensure that wood core temperatures are maintained beyond levels which are lethal to wood destroying insects.

Why building owners prefer Heat over fumigation.

  • Limited chemical application
  • No Move out
  • No Odor
  • No roof damage
  • No bagging of food and medicine
  • No harm to pets and plants

Heat Sensitive items protected.

Large heat sensitive objects like TVs, stereos and computers are protected by special thermal blankets. Items such as plants, artwork, candles, plastic, and CDs are temporarily removed from the treatment area.

Cool enough to preserve the structure/ Hot enough to kill termites

While laboratory tests have proven 120° F for 30 minutes is lethal to wood destroying insects, heat trained technicians raise temperatures to 160°F, no hotter than a sauna to achieve 130°F wood-core temperatures for up to 1.5 hours. This ensures that wood destroying insects and their eggs do not survive. Post treatment HeatMaster technicians apply remedial/residual termiticides to ensure and protect the once infested areas.

The Experts Agree On HEAT....

"The heating process provided an effective non-chemical alternative to conventional pest control."

Dr. Michael K. Rust, Ph.D., Chair for the Department of Entomology, University of California, Riverside.

"Heat technology shows the greatest promise of any current alternative tool for drywood termite control."

The Bio-Integral Resource Center in Berkely, California.

In her recently published book "Designer Poisons" published by the Pesticide Education Center, San Francisco, CA, Dr. Marion Moses, a physician with many years of experience investigating pesticide related health problems, makes the following statement, " This is a completely safe and highly nontoxic technology."
