Lastly, we'll discuss technologies to help with the heat treatment process.

How Heat Works

Heat is a powerful, natural method to eliminate pests because it targets the essential structures that all living organisms rely on to survive. At high temperatures, the proteins and cells inside bugs, bacteria, and viruses break down, rendering them unable to function.

Why 120F is the "Magic Temperature"

All living creatures begin to die when their core temperature reaches 113F (43C) and die within seconds at 120F (49C). At this temperature, the proteins and cells inside the bugs stop working - just like how an egg changes when you cook it. Once their insides stop working, they can’t survive.

Benefits of Heat

Heat is also highly effective at reaching hidden spaces, such as cracks, zippers, and even the protective shells around eggs, ensuring no life stage is missed. Unlike chemical treatments, organisms cannot develop resistance to heat, making it a consistent and reliable solution. Best of all, heat is a clean and eco-friendly approach, leaving no toxic residues behind while thoroughly sanitizing your space.

ThermalStrike Ranger Brings the Heat

The Ranger is the world’s only system designed to deliver heat from all sides, with its walls, floor, and lid carefully regulated at 150°F. This innovative design ensures that pests have absolutely nowhere to hide, as the lethal heat surrounds and eliminates them from every angle.

The Ranger Treats the Untreatable

The ThermalStrike Ranger makes it possible to "Treat the Untreatable," handling items like full suitcases, electronics, books, papers, and even bedding with ease and precision. Its versatile design ensures safe, thorough heat treatment for a wide range of belongings, so you don’t have to throw anything out—giving you the freedom to tackle virtually anything you need to treat!

Rugged, Portable and Collapsible Design

The PVC enclosure area is sealed, welded construction to prevent escape during treatment, and easy to clean. The insulated outer shell is high durability 420D nylon for years of use and energy efficiency, with industrial zippers. The entire unit folds and clips together for easy storage in even the smallest city apartment.

Safety and Certifications

The Ranger is designed with safety as a top priority, offering peace of mind throughout every treatment. It features a UL-recognized heating element that evenly distributes heat across all six sides—floor, lid, and walls—ensuring there are no excessive hot spots that could damage your belongings or cold spots where pests could hide. Seven thermostats embedded in the walls, floor, and lid continuously monitor the temperature, maintaining safe and consistent heat levels during the process. Additionally, the built-in thermometer and timer provide added control and precision, making the Ranger both effective and dependable for treating even the most sensitive items.

Not Just Hot Air

Other heating systems that rely on bag-and-blower technology have serious drawbacks. They often struggle with uneven heat distribution, creating cold spots where pests can survive and hot spots that risk damaging sensitive items. Loading these systems can be cumbersome, requiring careful balancing of items on small shelves or ensuring they don’t touch the walls, which adds time and effort. Additionally, the bags and components are often less durable, prone to wear and tear with repeated use, making them less reliable over time.
