Fridley,MN The reason for our decision to adopt Thermal Remediation technology "•, _ 7 ��is,in a word,bed bugs. ��.� .7� "` �"� � !� Bed bugs are a blood-feeding insect,about 1/5 inch long. They feed at night on the blood of sleeping mammals—usually humans. Bed bugs disappeared from the United States in the 1950s,due to widespread use of DDT. In recent years,they are experiencing a dramatic resurgence. And we don't have a miracle cure like DDT to help us out,this time around. Bed bugs hide in cracks and crevices in mattresses,box springs,bed frames,furniture,woodwork,and just about anywhere they can find a crack at least 1/64"wide. � r We can treat most of the structural cracks,crevices and voids in which '� bed bugs hide with conventional insecticides—sprays and dusts. Mattresses,box springs and upholstered furniture pose a challenge, since it is impossible to access their inner recesses with conventional insecticides. In the past,our only option for treating mattresses,box springs and upholstered furniture was fumigation with phosphine gas. Fumigation involves a lot of logistical complications,however,not the �r� least of which is safety. � Using heat,on the other hand,would be an environmentally low-impact, x... safe way of eliminating bed bugs from household furnishings. � It is a fact of practical entomology that insects cannot tolerate temperatures above 120 degrees F.for more than an hour;therefore, � heating household furnishings in an enclosed chamber,under secure " conditions,is considered the"wave of the future"for bed bug control. �:� ` �" Heat treatment is not new,however. Food processors like ConAgra and f �4I�k�`�II��I �,i . . .._ Quaker Oats have been practicing it for years,using external heat ��j��t��{�9(,'�,1`' . _ sources to bring the temperature of their facilities to killing levels for j � routine"heat sterilizations." '�� .I;�� , . Plunkett's has participated in heat treatments for such clients as General '� � � � '� '`� Mills,Chanhassen,MN;and Minot Milling,Minot,ND;and we have '`� A participated in several heat treatment seminars sponsored by Kansas e State University. Installations like the one we propose to use at our Fridley location are ' already in place in the Metro area,and are used to kill insects in pallets in order to comply with international shipping regulations. ��i�� . �i�� Our TR unit is painted green to match our trucks and our company '�, colors. �a"�"ca�_�� ' t. �� — ,�.. _ �� .a ri;�,�� _, Here is the view from the north. As you can see,the chamber is not ' visible from the road(NE 52na Way). The view from the west,looking from the neighbor's parking lot `� towards our lot. The view from the east,looking from the far southeastern corner of our '"�� , parking lot. The building to the east of ours,Amsum&Ash,blocks any �`�g��- view of the chamber from the east. East of Amsum&Ash is the BNSF �;, - railroad yard. ��, How the Thermal Remediation unit will be used,in brief: • Collect furnishings from client location and • Turn electricity on at panel,inside of office bring to Fridley. building.
