Heat Treatment for Insect Control - 9780857097767

Stored product insects and other pests are a major hygiene and safety issue in many industries, from food production to the hotel trade. While fumigation is the prevalent route for pest control, there are issues with the toxicity of the chemicals it uses. With the phasing out of methyl bromide, heat treatment has emerged as one of the most promising new insect control methods and is becoming a critical element of integrated pest management. This book provides a comprehensive and systematic reference on heat treatment for insect control. Initial chapters review the development of heat treatment processes and technology as part of integrated pest management approaches, while subsequent ones focus on applications in different industries such as food production, motor vehicles, elevators, hospitality, aircraft, and clothing.
