A device for variable volatilization of a compound includes first and second heating elements that cooperate to form a heating chamber and each having a movement enabling structure; the movement enabling structures being configured to allow movement of the first and second heating elements relative to one another; an adjustment mechanism cooperating with the movement enabling structures to produce selective relative movement of the first and second heating elements; and wherein movement of the adjustment mechanism in a first direction results in relative movement of the heating elements away from one another and movement in a second direction produces relative movement of the heating elements toward one another resulting in adjustment of the amount of heat within the heating chamber. Methods of adjusting the amount of heat within a heating chamber are also disclosed.

A repellent assembly has a light socket connector, a heating receptacle that selectively connects to a replaceable repellent pod that is selectively heated to disperse repellent from the repellent pod, and a remote controlled switch interposing the light socket connector and the heating receptacle to power the heating receptacle on and off.

A device for repelling pests includes a strap securable to a person and a module. The module has a hollow housing containing a printed circuit board, a switch, and a transducer. A battery drawer and a repellant drawer are removably insertable into the hollow housing. A repellant element impregnated with a evaporating repellant is affixable to the repellant drawer. The transducer causes high frequency waves and movement of the repellant element with the body causes the repellant to disperse.

A heating chamber system for heat-treating items infested by insects, and methods for manufacturing and using same. The heating chamber system includes an enclosed heating chamber; a bottom portion defining a portion of the enclosed heating chamber and includes a floor skirt and a floor; a top portion defining a portion of the enclosed heating chamber and including a plurality of sidewalls and a roof; and a collapsible architecture configured to support the top portion.
