One advantage of high heat treatment is that it does not involve the use of chemicals or pesticides, making it a safer option for those concerned about potential health risks. Additionally, this method can be targeted towards specific areas, reducing the need for extensive treatment throughout an entire space and can usually be completed in a single day.
