ABSTRACT:
System, kit, and method for treating bed bugs or other pests in a room. The system comprises an electric heater that is formed by joining separate parts or sections. A first heater section may comprise a number of electrically energized heater coils and the second section may comprise a fan and a fan motor. The system may also comprise a number of temperature-sensing probes to be installed at locations within the room. The system may also comprise an electronic data recorder to receive and record temperature readings from the temperature-sensing probes. The room may be gradually heated to a temperature that is lethal for bed bugs and other pests. Once the lethal temperature is reached, the room may be heated for a time period.
