Case Study
Goldseal Pest Control
On Friday May 31, 2010 Goldseal Pest Control in Indianapolis called to increase their order for more Shutguns for their heat remediation trucks. This came after an incident in which a sprinkler head accidentally activated during a routine heat remediation process.
During heat remediation, hot air is piped into the room heating its core temperature to 120 degrees Fahrenheit (48C) or higher, as an effective means of removing bed bugs by reaching their thermal ‘death point’.
In the case with Goldseal, a sprinkler head was activated by the extreme temperature sending a torrent of water down into the room. Because the employee had a Shutgun on hand, he was able to shut off the water source quickly enough and mitigate water damage.
He not only saved the project, but a lot of time and money in clean up. The company is very appreciative of the Shugun and have since recommended this tool to colleagues in the same business.

I was introduced to Shutgun through the IHMRS Show in NYC in 2012. Prior to the show I received an email invite to stop by the booth and view the product. I was really impressed by the product itself, the presentation of the materials, and the service. My purchase was made then.
How did you hear about Shutgun?
How many shutguns have you purchased?
24 units total.
What was the decision behind your purchase?
The quality of the Shutgun is extremely high. Well made. It’s also easy to use and requires little to no training to respond to an emergency. Last but not least the greatest decision point was the fact that it contained a fusible link so that if it is used in an emergency, the sprinkler system will in turn still function if there is a fire incident.
How have you used the Shutgun to date?
We had a new housekeeping associate dusting in and around the laundry room and broke a sprinkler head. The Shutgun was quickly at hand and saved us from many many hours of cleanup, work, and of course limited damage to the facility.
What was the best feature for you in using Shutgun?
Aside from the Fusible Link, the fact that ANYONE can use it at ANY TIME means that our team members can respond to a situation at a moments notice. The local fire depart loves them and are placing orders too!
