white paper on heat treatment. If that is not up yet, post your question on the pest list. – that is where you will find the most people who have worked with heat. Tom Strang at CCI has run experiments with it – and advocates heat as a method his research
is published on the CCI web site <a href="http://www.cci-icc.gc.ca/caringfor-prendresoindes/articles/10agents/chap06-eng.aspx#pest-parasites10c">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">As for DNA – you will have to look at the specific temperatures critical for your specific pest to see if that temperature will affect the DNA. Again – see
Tom’s research at the above link.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
