Thermal Clean Unveils Insect Inferno at Bed Bug Forum
Company Uses Innovative Mobile Insect Elimination System

Thermal Clean, working to eliminate bed bugs in Denver and Boulder, will unveil Insect Inferno, a heat-controlled, mobile insect elimination system, at the National Bed Bug Forum January 5 to 7, 2011 at the Omni Interlocken (Broomfield, CO).

“We are the only company in Colorado to use Insect Inferno, which is a mobile unit that raises the core temperature of its contents—mattresses, couches, and furniture—to kill insects and their eggs,” commented Brad Steinmetz, president of Thermal Clean. “We will demonstrate live at the National Bed Bug Forum, officially launching the system in the Rocky Mountain region.”

Thermal Clean, a Colorado company that specializes in bed bug pest control, uses heat-based cleaning to completely eliminate bed bug problems for customers along Colorado’s Front Range. In addition to eliminating bed bugs, Thermal Clean’s heat cleaning processes reduce pet odors and kill most insects and their eggs, allergens, pollens, dander, bacteria, mold, mildew, fungi, and most viruses.

The patent-pending Insect Inferno is being used in eight states currently and not only eliminates bed bugs, but also fleas, cockroaches, and dust mites. The Insect Inferno mobile trailer features an electronic monitoring system, actuators for easy loading and unloading of furniture, and a contained heat source to maintain a constant temperature.

“By using our product customers do not have to throw away household items, such as mattresses, box springs, and couches,” said Sue Westrum, president of Insect Inferno. “We have received many calls from homeowners and renters, as the majority of pest control companies recommend discarding these items.”

Focusing on solutions, the National Bed Bug Forum will educate industry experts and newcomers on the resurgence of bed bugs and provide legal, technical, and business information. Please visit www.npmapestworld.org to learn more.

“Our exterminators work with commercial businesses in metro Denver and Boulder, including hotels, apartment buildings, retirement homes, and health care facilities, to completely eradicate bed bugs and other mattress-oriented allergens and pests,” finished Steinmetz. “The National Bed Bug Forum will act as the official platform to launch Thermal Clean and its innovative Insect Inferno system.”

National Kidney Foundation Celebrates 60 Years

Subscribe in a reader

Boulder resident Signe Wheeler is celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the National Kidney Foundation (NKF). 65 year-old Wheeler, a kidney transplant recipient, competes regularly in the National Kidney Foundation U.S. Transplant Games and helped lead her team, Team Rocky Mountain, to win the 2010 Transplant Games.

Here is Signe in her own words:
I first met my friend, Pam Doverspike, out at our horse barn. I had no idea how our lives would intertwine in the most profound way possible. My dream was to ride my horse over the 500-mile Colorado Trail from Denver to Durango. During this time, I learned I had polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and that my kidneys were failing. Pam, upon hearing this, immediately said that she was there for me if I ever was in need. By the end of the ride, my kidney function had dropped to end stage. I was destined for either dialysis or a transplant. Upon my approval as a transplant candidate, she immediately applied to see if she was a match. Pam was a match and within three months, we had a very successful transplant. We both attended the U.S. National Kidney Foundation Transplant Games in Pittsburgh in 2007. Pam was presented with the humanitarian award through her employer, FedEx. She enjoyed the special recognition ceremony given to living donors at the Transplant Games. We continue in any way we can to promote organ donation and awareness in our communities, participating in kidney walks, health fair educational programs, and Transplant Games promotion. There is never any way to thank your donor or donor family enough. Only through the joy of living every precious day can mirror the thankfulness that I wake up with every day of my life.

“We appreciate the generous public support of the National Kidney Foundation over the years,” remarked Kathy Wegner, vice president of the division. “In 1950, when the NKF was founded, there were no dialysis treatments or transplants, which meant people with kidney failure had no form of treatment and did not survive. Today, individuals and families with kidney disease can often enjoy rich and productive lives.”

Through its offices nationwide, the NKF provides early detection screenings, valuable public and professional education, research for new treatments and therapies, and vital services to people with kidney disease, dialysis patients, transplant recipients and organ donors.

The need for our services remains critical. Twenty-six million Americans, one in nine adults, have chronic kidney disease and another 20 million are at risk.
“As we commemorate our 60th anniversary, we ask you to join us in recommitting ourselves to the fight against kidney disease,” finished Wegner.

The National Kidney Foundation Serving Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming is dedicated to preventing kidney and urinary tract disease, improving the health and well-being of individuals and families affected by these diseases and increasing the availability of all organs for transplantation.
