Our Process
- 1
Assessment & Preparation
We assess the infestation, the items to be treated, and prepare the space. Sensitive items are evaluated for heat compatibility.
- 2
Controlled Heating
Our Thermokil™ system raises the core temperature to levels lethal to pests while remaining safe for most household items.
- 3
Monitoring & Completion
We monitor the treatment to ensure thorough penetration. Once complete, the space cools naturally.

Re-Entry & Verification
You can re-enter once the area has cooled. No aeration period, no residues. We provide a service guarantee.
Safety & Pets
Heat treatment is 100% chemical-free. Pets and people must vacate during the heating phase. Once the space has cooled, re-entry is immediate with no residual exposure. Ideal for those with chemical sensitivities.
