Chemical Free Heat Treatment for Termite Elimination

Heat treatment is generally safe for most building materials, but certain heat-sensitive items — electronics, artwork, candles, some plastics — need to be removed or protected before treatment. We'll walk through what needs to be moved before your scheduled treatment.

Heat treatment can be highly effective for drywood termites when properly executed, particularly for treating a defined area or void. For widespread infestation across a large or complex structure, fumigation is generally the more reliable whole-structure option.

If treatment is limited to a specific area, you can often remain elsewhere in the home; whole-structure heat treatment, like fumigation, requires the home to be vacated during the process.

Most heat treatments are completed in a single day, since there's no aeration period required the way there is with fumigation.

Heat treatment uses specialized equipment to raise the temperature inside the treated area to a level that is lethal to drywood termites. The heat penetrates deep into the wood, eliminating termites without the use of fumigant gas or tents. Pros: • No fumigant gas or tenting required. • Can often be completed in a single day. • You typically do not have to leave your home for several days as you would with fumigation. • Leaves no chemical residue. Cons: • Typically more expensive than localized chemical treatment. • Depending on the property, it may not be suitable for widespread infestations. • Heat-sensitive items may need to be removed or protected, such as wood furniture assembled with glue, artwork, candles, vinyl records, electronics, certain musical instruments, and other items that can warp, melt, or be damaged by high temperatures.

Our technician will call or text ahead, walk the property with you if you're home, and explain findings and next steps in plain language before leaving you with a written report. There's no pressure to decide on treatment on the spot — you'll have the information you need to make the right call for your home.

Warranties typically exclude new damage caused by structural changes made after treatment, conditions an inspector couldn't access, and situations where required follow-up inspections were skipped. Specific terms are spelled out in writing with every warranty we issue.

Yes. Our warranties stay with the property, not the homeowner, so they can be transferred to the new owner when the home is sold. A transferable termite warranty can be a valuable selling point, giving buyers added confidence that the home remains protected.

Our fumigation treatments come with a 5-year warranty against drywood termites, so if the same type of infestation returns to the treated structure within that period, we'll address it under the warranty terms provided in writing at the time of treatment.

It depends on the treatment type and the extent of the infestation. Fumigation pricing is based on your home's cubic footage (call with your address for a ballpark), while localized treatment pricing depends entirely on what's found during inspection — we don't estimate it sight-unseen.
