The HEAT BLAST technology is a breakthrough in
treating single family homes, condominiums, apartments, and commercial
buildings. The HEAT BLAST process eliminates Drywood Termites,
Wood Destroying Beetles, and other wood destroying insects. Entire structures or
small areas can be treated in a single application of 6-8 hours, and there is no
need to vacate for 3 days. There is also no roof or plant damage, thermal drapes
are hung from the eaves, not draped over the roof , and specialized thermal
blankets and wraps can protect sensitive items. Utilizing the HEAT
BLAST technology along with Tim-Bor Professional for residual control,
Team Too is able to provide double protection against termites and other wood
destroying insects.
Highly trained technicians used specially designed heaters delivering up to
600,000 BTU's. The heat flows through Mylar ducts to the desired area of
treatment. The HEAT BLAST process is monitored by state of the art
digital and infrared thermometers and needle thin temperature probes. The core
of the wood is brought to a sustained temperature of 130F for a period of one
hour. To achieve the core temperature, the air temperature within the treatment
area raises to 160F, no hotter than a sauna, or a closed car on a hot summer
day. Laboratory tests have proven that 116F sustained for 24 minutes is lethal
to termites. The heat generated by the HEAT BLAST
system is not dangerous to the wood and does not deform or
scar the wood or items in or around your structure.

In a five year study commissioned by the California Structural Pest
Control Board and conducted by the University of California Berkeley, the
HEAT BLAST technology was the only form of Drywood Termite control
to be proven 100% effective in naturally infested materials. A gas fumigation
was proven to only be less than 98% effective, utilizing double the average
dose. With the use of the HEAT BLAST technology, entire
structures, or small areas can be treated safely and effectively with a single
application. Other alternative methods such as Freezing, Microwaves, and
Electrocution, may be effective in limited areas, but do not allow for large
areas to be treated with a single application.
PROVEN EFFICACY
In a five year study commissioned by the California Structural
Pest Control Board and conducted by the University of California Berkeley, the
HEAT BLAST technology was the only form of Drywood Termite
control to be proven 100% effective in naturally infested materials. A toxic,
deadly gas fumigation was proven to only be less than 98% effective, utilizing
double the average dose. With the use of the HEAT BLAST
technology, entire structures, or small areas can be treated safely and
effectively with a single application. Other alternative methods such as
Freezing, Microwaves, and Electrocution, may be effective in limited areas,
but do not allow for large areas to be treated with a single application.
