Preparing Your Space for Treatment – Overview
- Simple, common-sense preparation. Much easier and faster than preparing for a series of chemical spray treatments
- Once our treatment is completed (usually 4 to 7 hours) you and your pets can move back in immediately, free from worry.
Preparing your space is relatively easy, when compared to the prep required for chemical based solutions and you’ll be glad to know that no bedding, clothing, drapery or furniture needs to be washed prior to treatment, thrown out or sealed away in plastic bags.
PRIOR TO OUR ARRIVAL, WE REQUIRE THAT THESE SIMPLE, COMMON-SENSE PREPARATIONS BE COMPLETED.:
Since we will be using sustained high temperatures, we ask that you remove all animals, plants and other heat sensitive items (items which could melt or suffer heat related damage) from potential contact with our heat treatment. (NOTE: many of these items may be easily & temporarily stored in an insulated location such as your stove, fridge or freezer. If you have a balcony, storage unit, yard or garage and weather permits, anything may be stored there as well.
Ensure that drawers and closets are loosely packed and free of clutter and that clothing is hung with as much space between items as possible.
We use nothing but heat to treat your home. No chemicals means there are no fumes, no residue and no corrosion. And, you can safely return home as soon as the treatment is complete. ThermaGone uses bio-diesel and/or diesel fuel and environmentally friendly heat-transfer fluid to generate and diffuse heat, creating the smallest possible environmental footprint.
