Abstract: This invention provides a vapor heat apparatus for treating fruits by killing insects such as, for example, a Mediterranean fruit fly, an orange small fruit fly, a Queensland fruit fly and a melon fruit fly or the like. The invention prevents thermal troubles experienced by fruits undergoing treatment by allowing each of the fruits stored in each of the fruit storing means to reach a predetermined fruit central temperature at substantially the same time. The vapor supplying means and the heat exchanger means are controlled in reference to a sensed signal of the fruit temperature sensing means.
