Cold treatment in pest control
Die Kältebehandlung, auch als Kryobehandlung oder Tiefkühlbehandlung bekannt, ist eine physikalische Methode zur Schädlingsbekämpfung, die auf der Nutzung extremer Kälte basiert, um Schädlinge zu beseitigen. Sie wird insbesondere bei Schädlingen eingesetzt, die kälteempfindlich sind oder bei denen der Einsatz von chemischen Insektiziden unerwünscht oder unmöglich ist.
Functionality:
The principle of cold treatment is based on cell damage caused by freezing. When the temperature drops below the freezing point of the cell water, ice crystals form in the cells of the pests. These crystals destroy the cell membranes and structures, which leads to cell death. In addition, the cold leads to dehydration of the insects and to a disruption of biochemical processes that are essential for their survival.
Typical temperatures for effective cold treatment are between -18°C and -30°C, sometimes even lower. The exposure time depends on the type of pest, the size of the infested material and the selected temperature. Faster cooling and lower temperatures shorten the necessary treatment time.
Cold treatment was the perfect solution for us and we can recommend it to anyone looking for safe, efficient and chemical-free pest control. A huge thank you to the team for their excellent work!
Application & advantages
Application and benefits of cold treatment
Kleidung, Textilien und Pelze: Moths, fur beetles, carpet beetles
Antex Reiseservice für Gepäck aller Art: Bettwanzen, Motten, etc.
Living areas: Bettwanzen (in befallenen Gegenständen wie Bettbezüge, Decken , Kissen, etc.)
Plant materials: for certain pests in seeds or herbs
Advantages:
Non-chemical and non-toxic: Die Kältebehandlung ist eine rein physikalische Methode, die keine chemischen Rückstände hinterlässt. Dies ist besonders vorteilhaft in sensiblen Bereichen wie Haushalten mit Kindern und Haustieren.
Gentle on materials: Im Vergleich zu Hitzebehandlungen ist die Kältebehandlung oft schonender für empfindliche Materialien wie Leder, Seide, Wolle, oder bestimmte Kunststoffe, da das Risiko von Verformungen, Schrumpfung oder Verfärbungen geringer ist.
Broad spectrum of action: Cold treatment is effective against all developmental stages of pests (egg, larva, pupa, adult), as all physiological processes are brought to a standstill by the cold.
Odourless: There are no unpleasant odours during or after the treatment.
Low health risks: There are no direct health risks for users and residents from exposure to chemical substances.
Targeted application possible: Kleine befallene Objekte können gezielt in unserem Kälteverfahren durch speziellen Kammern behandelt werden, ohne dass der gesamte Raum oder Gebäude betroffen ist.
We use safe and environmentally friendly measures.
No environmental contamination: No pesticides or other harmful chemicals are released into the environment. There are no risks to soil, water or air.
Protection of biodiversity: Non-target organisms (e.g. beneficial organisms) are not harmed as the treatment is localised or limited to specific objects.
No resistances: As this is a physical method, pests cannot develop resistance to the cold, unlike with chemical insecticides.
Reduction in the use of biocides: Cold treatment offers an effective alternative to chemical pesticides and thus contributes to reducing the global use of biocides.
