Heatwave Treatment: How It Works
How Orkin UK’s Heatwave Treatment Works
It is a “non-pressured” thermal process that is contained within a thermal capsule, ensuring targeted temperatures are achieved. Heatwave provides treatment with high efficacy, reduced or no pesticide in some cases without causing any structural damage.
Its application for infestation management applies to insects such as:
| Description | Kill Temperature | Kill Time |
| Argentine Ants | 54.5°C | 7 Mins |
| Bed Bugs | 56°C | 1 Hour |
| Bed Bug Nymphs | 56°C | 15 Mins |
| Beetle Larvae | 52°C | 2-4 Hours |
| Body Lice | 56°C | 30 Mins |
| Confused Flour Beetle | 56°C | 30 Mins |
| Dust Mite (faeces) | 60°C | 1 Hour |
| Flour Moth | 56°C | 30 Mins |
| Flour Moth Larvae | 56°C | 1 Hour |
| Fruit Fly | 56°C | 30 Mins |
| German Cockroach | 54.5°C | 7 Mins |
| Merchant Grain Beetle | 56°C | 30 Mins |
| Red Backed Spider | 56°C | 30 Mins |
| Internal of Fabric | ||
| Death Watch Beetle | 54.5°C | 2.5 Hours |
| Furniture Beetle | 54.5°C | 2.5 Hours |

The Treatment Cycle
Site Assessment
A Heatwave-qualified engineer assesses your individual needs and provides a treatment plan
Site Mobilisation
A helpful expert sets about clearing the area where the treatment process will take place. Removing items and ensuring sign off
Heatwave Process Initialised
Pre-Heatwave inspection carried out, the Heatwave target temperature set and initialised
Thermal Moderation
All external doors and windows are to be kept closed, allowing rehydration for strip downtime. The room is then vented after Heatwave is packed for rapid temperature moderation
Site Exfiltration
Targeted use of pesticide to the surrounding area, with Heatwave report provided. Room, area, and location can be back online within the day for immediate use
