Have you ever heard of a microwave treatment process used to kill termites? Well if you haven’t heard, It has existed since 1994 and if you have heard something about it, then you may be interested in hearing about some of it’s finer qualities. (1) How Do Microwaves Kill Termites? Quite simply by cooking them within their living habitat similar to the way one heats up a cup of coffee in a microwave oven. (2) At what heat temperature do termites die? Microwaves when applied to termites that are living within generated microwave penetration range are heated quickly to a scientifically proven lethal heat dosage rate of 128 degrees Fahrenheit or 53.5 Celsius. (3) How long must they be exposed to lethal heat range? Drywood termites surrender to rapid thermal death when exposed to their established lethal heat temperatures for as little as a 5 minute duration period. In Conclusion: Microwave treatment of termites is becoming more popular because of the benefits attained from no poison gas or toxic chemical usage. Public demand for alternatives to old School high risk poison applications continues to grow and become a major treatment concern.

It is effective for "spot treating" dry wood termites but not subterranean or whole house treatment.

Posted By SureshD on 09/07/2010 5:44 PM It is effective for "spot treating" dry wood termites but not subterranean or whole house treatment. Microwaving treatment is not labeled for subterranean termites because they live up to 60 feet deep in the ground. Baits or salt barriers control them most safely. As far as the false myths of Microwaving not being a complete primary means of treatment please read the following. Fumigation False Claims – Not Healthy Option For numerous decades the pest control industry has laid claim that the only way to kill all termites within a structure, including the ones not visible, was to cover and seal the entire structure with tarps and then fill the inside of the structure with lethal non-antidotal poison gas. This type of treatment is also commonly referred to as tenting. Today the public is falsely being misled to believe by the pest industry advertisers that these decades old outdated termite kill remedies are still the only surest way method. 1. Civil war amputations kin to Old school fumigation During the civil war many soldiers returned home as amputees because the surest way doctors could prevent death from battle injuries was to amputate the injured appendage. This continued to be common accepted medical practice for decades after the wars end. The public today are aware of advancements in medicine since the civil war that allow injured appendages to be surgically repaired instead of amputated. Amputation is no longer a primary medical treatment. It is now reserved as a last resort only. On a similar note, the public today has not been educated in the advancements of termite treatment that allows electronic detection and location of termites in visual and non-visual hidden areas. These new technologies along with non-invasive, chemical treatment alternatives such as microwave treatment, allow for treatment of all termites within a structure, including the ones not visible and all without the risks of human death associated with poison gas fumigation treatment. 2. Primary alternatives to fumigation safer and as effective. The primary recommendation for amputation of injured appendages no longer is relevant because of modern day advanced medical treatment procedures. Henceforth fumigation with poison gas should also no longer be falsely promoted as a primary treatment recommendation to the public as the only way to kill all termites in a structure. As with modern day medical amputation policies, fumigation with the use of lethal poison gas should also be re-classified as a last resort only treatment procedure. Contrary to what the pest control industry also falsely claims, microwave termite treatment is not a secondary or limited means of treatment. When used in combination with available advanced electronic detection and location devices, microwave termite treatment is a highly effective primary treatment procedure that can readily be applied as a safe alternative to most old school dangerous fumigation.

What about electrocution, heating, cooling? These are all viable alternatives to poision gas which have been around for decades.

Those are also viable treatment alternatives. In your professional maintenance responsibilities do you deal with termite problems that you might share or that you have a detailed question about? As a termite engineer professional I am offering valued insider information of which those who do not deal with commercial termite property termite problems see no interest and consider all uninterested written educational substance as spam. Please let me know if I have wasted my time joining this forum? I have valued professional skills to share with those who appreciate and can benefit from them. Be Well

1. Poison gas not the only treat option. There is no longer any excuse for persons seeking termite treatment to pay for and except only gas poison tenting of a residence just to kill a few termites. There is also no excuse or reason to put any human at risk of pesticide poisoning or even death just to kill a few termites. Microwave termite treatment is the clean alternative to whole structure fumigation. 2. Poison termite gas deaths occur. You’ll be surprised to know that numerous human and animal deaths occur annually from direct as well as indirect exposure to all types of poison gas used in termite treatment. Additionally, there are no known antidotes for these extremely hazardous poisons. They are so lethal that persons contracting to have poison gas with tent treatment performed, must first review and sign a detailed written legal disclaimer that discloses high risk health dangers of its use. 3. The solution is microwave termite treatment. Those who seek termite treatment no longer need to run the risk of poisoning, death or health injuries associated with poison gas treatment. Microwave termite treatment is a safer way to kill termites without tenting a structure and filling it with poison lethal gas. Be Well and stay healty
