Termites are one of the most destructive insects homeowners have to deal with. Even though they’re tiny, they can quickly do a lot of damage to your home by eating away at the structure from the inside out. Luckily, if you act fast, you can mitigate this damage.
When you think of termite control, you probably think of fumigation, but did you know there are other options available? Termite heat treatment is a very effective treatment option that doesn’t use chemicals like fumigation does. If fumigation isn’t a good fit for your property, heat treatment may be the perfect choice. Read on to learn about how Sandwich Isle Pest Solutions’s process works!
How Does Heat Treatment Work?
It’s simple; heat treatment works by heating the wood and air to a temperature that termites cannot survive. This is usually done in isolated areas rather than the entire structure, which is how fumigation is done. This makes it a great choice when only a small portion of the structure is infested.
How Much Does Termite Heat Treatment Cost?
This depends on several factors – including the scale of the infestation, how urgently the treatment is needed, and where the infestation is located. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to termite control; every service is tailored to your needs. The only way to get a solid price estimate is to have us inspect your property.
Our Termite Control Process
Once you’ve decided on heat treatment, here’s what you can expect:
- Partitioning the area. We block off the area with a tarp to make sure the heat can’t escape.
- Treatment starts. We heat the area to levels that termites can’t survive.
- We may also use a heat chamber to treat individual wooden items (like furniture) that may have been infested with termites.
- Heat monitoring. Throughout the process, we keep an eye on the temperature in the treatment area to make sure it stays consistent.
- Cleanup! It’s that simple. Once the termites have been exposed to the heat for long enough and we’re sure they’re all dead, we clean up, pack up, and leave.

Termite Heat Treatment Preparation Tips
There are a few things you should do to prepare your home before heat treatment services. First of all, you will need to plan to leave your home or business for a few hours. Your technician will advise you on the exact duration. You’ll also need to remove heat-sensitive items that could be affected, such as:
- Plastics and electronics
- Plants
- Pets (including fish!)
- Medications
- Makeup
- Wine and other alcoholic beverages
Your technician will let you know of any additional items that might need to be removed before treatment can begin. If there’s anything you’re not sure about, don’t hesitate to ask!
