QUESTIONS
The Effects of Heat on Insects
Heat is lethal to insect pests because it disrupts their biological processes and physiological functions. When exposed to high temperatures, insects experience thermal stress, leading to protein denaturation, cellular damage, and ultimately death. The exact temperature required to kill insect pests varies depending on the species, life stage, and environmental conditions. However, in general, temperatures above 49°C are considered lethal to most insect pests, including bed bugs, cockroaches, and ants. At these temperatures, insects cannot regulate their body temperature, leading to dehydration, tissue damage, and eventual death.
Heat Treatments: Are They Safe?
Pest control heat treatments, under the supervision of trained experts equipped with suitable gear, can be both safe and effective in eradicating pests. However, it's imperative to adhere to proper safety protocols and precautions to minimize any potential risks.
