Green, Chemical-Free Pest Control: Quick and Safe.
Posted by Cynthia in Going Green, Home Improvement, Home and Health on November 10th, 2009
Pest Control has finally evolved into an industry that quickly andĀ effectively eradicates pests in your homeĀ without exposing its other living inhabitants to harmful and dangerous chemicals with a system called ThermaPureHeat offered by a company called Expediant in NY, CT, NJ, PA and MA
ThermaPureHeat is a completely chemical-free new process called Structural Pasteurization that utilizes clean, pure heat to kill mold and bug infestations of any size without harming pets, plants or people.
Used effectively in difficult infestations such as bed bugs, it leaves no residues or smell behind. The treated areas can be safely occupied right after the treatment by anyone, including pets and small children.
The process is also scalable: it can be applied to a whole house, to a single floor or even a single area or room and the concept is very simple. Giant heaters — 500,000 bpu each — blast hot air into the house until it reaches the desired temperature. Different infestations require different heat settings but the treatment will kill the mold or bug infestation, with the added bonus of killing many harmful bacteria and viruses as well.
Here’s a Discovery Channel Video about the process:

- Pass on harsh drain cleaners for a more eco-friendly approach such as pouring baking soda mixed with a half cup of vinegar down the drain followed by boiling water.
- Overloaded with free coffee mugs? Use one in your bathroom as a toothbrush holder or mouthwash mug. Read the rest of this entry »
