Patent ID: 8756857

Claim:
A system for killing pests in an affected area, comprising: a burner operable to heat a fluid to a first temperature; a plurality of heat exchanger units each placed with an associated region of the affected area, each heat exchanger unit configured to receive the fluid from the burner, each heat exchanger unit operable to emit heated air by transferring heat from the fluid to ambient air within the affected area; a supply manifold positioned between the burner and the plurality of heat exchanger units, the supply manifold comprising; a first input port configured to receive the fluid via a supply line from the burner; and a plurality of output ports, each output port being coupled to a selected one of a first plurality of hoses each associated with a respective one of the plurality of heat exchanged units, the plurality of output ports supply the fluid to each of the plurality of heat exchanger units; and a plurality of air movers positioned to circulate the heated air emitted by the plurality of heat exchanger units and prevent stratification of the heated air, at least one air mover positioned proximate to an associated one of the plurality of heat exchanger units, and wherein a temperature difference between the fluid received by the plurality of heat exchanger units and the ambient air within the affected area results in the affected area being raised to a target temperature greater than 122 degrees Fahrenheit.
