Abstract

A system for killing pests in an affected area of a structure comprises a heat exchanger unit placed within an affected area, and a thermostatic control. The heat exchanger unit is configured to receive a flow of water from a faucet, and generate heated air by transferring heat from the flow of water received from the faucet to air flowing through the heat exchanger unit. The thermostatic control is configured to monitor a temperature of the flow of water as it is received by the heat exchanger unit, monitor a temperature of the air as it is received at an inlet of the heat exchanger unit, and automatically cease the flow of water to the heat exchanger unit when the temperature of the air received by the heat exchanger unit is greater than the temperature of the flow of water.
