System and method for bedbug eradication

摘要

Described herein is a refrigeration system for bedbug eradication. The refrigeration system comprises a generator, a condensing unit, and a portable evaporating and blowing unit connected with the condensing unit for transporting into a bedbug-infested room of a building. Temperature sensors are used for monitoring an ambient temperature in the bedbug-infested room to ensure that the temperature drops to a predetermined temperature to kill the bedbugs and their eggs. Moisture in the bedbug-infested room is removed with a dehumidifier prior to cooling down the bedbug-infested room with the evaporating and blowing unit.

主权项

1. A method for bedbug eradication, comprising acts of:
positioning a generator and a connected condensing unit outside a building to be treated for bedbug infestation; positioning a line holder proximate the generator and the condensing unit, wherein the line holder secures a line that pumps refrigerant from the condensing unit outside the building into a portable evaporator and blower unit located in a first bedbug-infested room inside the building; eradicating bedbugs in the entire first bedbug-infested room inside the building by;
pumping cold air from the portable evaporation and blower unit into the entire first bedbug-infested room inside the building; andlowering an ambient temperature in the entire first bedbug-infested room to a predetermined temperature sufficient to kill bedbugs at all stages of development whilemonitoring the ambient temperature in the entire first bedbug-infested room using a plurality of temperature sensors, wherein the predetermined temperature is selected from a range of a temperatures between −10 degrees and −1 degree Fahrenheit; and transporting the portable evaporation and blower unit to any other bedbug-infested rooms inside the building and eradicating bedbugs in the other bedbug-infested rooms inside the building.
