Temp-Air

Temp-Air’s P800-HTR Heat Treatment Chamber converts any 20- to 40-foot insulated ISO container into a certified heat treatment chamber to eradicate any insects in furniture, mattresses and a wide array of other materials without chemical fumes and residue. Advantages to using heat to control pests includes the fact that heat kills the entire life cycle of all pests, from eggs to adults; it does not release toxic fumes; and is chemical-free.

Temp-Air has created a system that conserves fuel through hot air recycling while preserving short treatment times. The air inside the container is heated using a two-stage temperature management system that automatically regulates the temperature within the container. The high-volume air delivery system continuously recycles the heated air over heat exchangers, ensuring uniform heat distribution, the company said. The P800-HTR heat treat chamber has an LCD touch screen operation with an auto shut-off, an on-board data printer and USB port and a temperature sensor system.

Bayer Environmental Science

Maxforce FC Large Roach Bait Stations, from Bayer Environmental Science, are back to control the biggest cockroaches. Maxforce FC Large Roach Bait Stations are irresistible to American, Oriental and smokybrown cockroaches, with a residual that lasts up to a year, or until the bait has been completely consumed, the company said. They can be used both indoors and outdoors in locations such as garages, patios, kitchens, warehouses, schools, residences, sheds or in cabinets.

The stations contain 2.75 grams of bait and are designed to appeal to large roaches that like snug spaces and the ability to feed with their heads above the bait. Since roaches like to climb, the bait station has vertical entrance ramps. Each station is child-resistant and protects the bait from outdoor elements and from dust, dirt and cleaning products inside, the company said. Maxforce FC Large Roach Bait Stations are ideal for placement against corners and walls; their pinwheel design draws roaches to the bait.

It can be used in a dusty environment and in facilities that have cereal-based dry pet food, specialist animal feed, traditional cheese, dried fruits and meats.
