ECOLA Heat : Bed Bug Extermination : Alternative Termite Treatments : Los Angeles

ECOLA Heatwas developed in the 1980s by Dr. Charles Forbes and Dr. Walter Ebeling of UCLA as an alternative to traditional fumigation based-termite treatments. Since it was developed it has been re-engineered and perfected for killing termites, wood destroying organisms, bed bugs, cockroaches, ants, and other common indoor insects and pests. One of the great advantages of Ecola Heat is that multiple pests can be targeted at once – no matter how many different pests you have heat will penetrate their nests and harborages and kill the infestations. It is the only other process to fumigation recognized by the California Department of Consumer Affairs for full-structure termite treatments.

ECOLA Heatis simple – it's just heat. It uses propane-powered heaters to raise the temperature of clean, outdoor air to levels that are lethal for insects and pests. The air is then directed into the treatment area and maintained for a period of 1 to 3 hours to ensure the treatment was effective. Temperature probes are placed in all of the most difficult to heat areas and target areas to ensure lethal temperatures were achieved. The entire process can take 6 to 8 hours and eliminates the need for an overnight move-out or for bagging and removing of food. Heat has the added benefit of deodorizing and disinfecting the treatment area.

How Much Heat is Enough?

A lot of independent research has been conducted over the years on how much heat is necessary to kill insects. This research, combined with our extensive fieldwork, has allowed us to develop an effective solution that will kill pests in a timely manner without causing damage to your building or your possessions.
