Abstract
A method of pest control which includes heating the affected area to a temperature which is lethal for the pests being exterminated, and maintaining this elevated temperature in the zone for a predetermined period of time. The treatment is undertaken after determining the air flow parameters for the treatment zone, so as to be able to determine the CFM requirements for achieving a requisite air flow rate of between 0.5 and 70 air changes per hour in the treatment zone. Heated air is introduced to the treatment zone at the requisite air flow rate and at an initial temperature of at least about 240.degree. F., with the temperature in the treatment zone being elevated at a predetermined rate until the air temperature reaches a predetermined set point. Once the predetermined set point temperature is reached within the treatment zone, the introduced heated air is adjusted to an eradication temperature and maintained in such a condition for a predetermined period of time sufficient to eradicate respective pests within the treatment zone.
