![Page 5: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Are pest management companies aware of the possibilities of using heat for managing pests?
![Page 6: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
HEAT TREATMENT
• Residential– Termites– Other Wood Destroyers– Roaches
![Page 7: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
HEAT TREATMENT
• Commercial– Stored Product Insects– Flies
![Page 8: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Other areas of opportunities
• Silo’s• Pallets• Wooden artifacts and museum
pieces• Stuffed animals• Mattresses/ Furniture
![Page 9: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Areas where fumigation is not feasible or may be
risky….• Facilities attached to offices, close
to schools, etc• Silo’s within a structure• Organic facilities• Pieces of sealed equipment where
gas will not penetrate (transfer lines?)
![Page 10: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
How are pest management companies
currently doing heat treatment?
• Some do spot treatments with small heaters
• Some sub-contract to heating companies
• Some act as consultants for the facility (monitoring, fumigating products, spot application of pesticides)
![Page 11: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What kind of information is needed?
• Economics• Types of buildings that can be
heated• Heat source• What happens to the product?• Who picks up the liability?• What about insurance?
![Page 12: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What kind of information is needed?
• Impact on electrical equipment• Where are the heat sinks?• How does heat work in different
facilities?Eg.Dairy, cheese plants, poultry
houses, etc
![Page 13: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Are heat treatments safe?
![Page 14: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
WHY DO FOOD FACILITIES HIRE PEST MANAGEMENT COMPANIES?
![Page 15: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
PEST MANAGEMENT COMPANY
• Specialized, trained full time employees
• Regular, scheduled appointments• Inventory headaches• Insurance, Licensing, Certification• Keeping up with updates• Responsible for screw ups
![Page 16: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
IN-HOUSE PEST MANAGEMENT
• Knows the food business and plant
• Quality assurance• Knows the inside players• Can pick out the “nooks and
crannies”• Control over the person
![Page 17: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Why do we need a Pest Management Company for a
heat treatment?• Experience• Familiarity with the facility being
treated.• Know where the pests are hiding
– Walls– Ceiling– Cracks in the floor– Expansion joints– Product– Hollow support columns
![Page 18: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Limitations for the Pest Control Industry
• Knowledge of the Heat treatment process
• Liabilities involved• Economics of heat
![Page 19: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Insurance
• Some insurance companies will not continue coverage to a facility when the sprinklers are turned off
![Page 20: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Heat treatment vs Fumigation
Heat treatment• Many variables
involved • Each treatment is
a learning process• Lack of technical
support• Higher levels of
heat can damage equipment
Fumigation• Easier to figure out
• Companies that supply the fumigant provide support
• Higher gas concentrations do not cause any damage
![Page 21: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Will Methyl Bromide actually be phased out?
• What are the alternatives?
![Page 22: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
PROFUME IS COMING…..
The Waiting Game!!
![Page 23: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How are pest management companies dealing with the
impending phaseout of Methyl Bromide
• Stepping up the IPM program– Improved sanitation– Rectifiying building design flaws– More reliance on IGR’s, monitoring
programs
![Page 24: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Research needed…
• Impact of heat on– Equipment – Commodities – Containers
• Different species• Different life stages• Heat tolerance
![Page 25: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Information on…
• Cost analysis (energy, labor, etc)
• How to heat up rooms, walls, parts of equipment?
![Page 26: HEAT TREATMENT Perspectives from the Pest Management Industry Anil Menon, PhD. BCE Director of Technical Training Wil-Kil Pest Control Sun Prairie, WI](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eb45503460f94bbc4b1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Future in heat treatment for the pest management
professional
• Small, highly specialized treatments
• Spot heat treatments• Role as an advisor/consultant
