A method of pest control which includes heating the effected area to a temperature which is lethal for the pest being exterminated, and maintaining this elevated temperature in the zone for a period of at least about eleven hours. The treatment is undertaken after determining the air penetration parameters for the treatment zone, so as to be able to determine the CFM requirements for achieving an air flow rate of between three and five air changes per hour in the treatment zone. Heated outside air is introduced to the treatment zone at a temperature of at least 200 DEG F., with the temperature in the treatment zone being elevated at a rate of between about 5 DEG F. and 10 DEG F. per hour until the air temperature reaches the lethal level. |
