salts such as potassium chloride do no kill new zealand mudsnails which is one of the major invasive specials that fly fisherman in Utah should also be concerned with eliminating. I know the Green River is infested but I don't know what else is. I believe that Whirling desease spores are unaffected by salts also.
Using the hot water at 140 degrees for the longer than the recommended times which vary from 1 minute for none porous surfaces to more than 30 minutes for dense porous materials like felt and webbing. It has been determined that NZMS have been killed with 130 degree water for 5 minutes of exposure.
People who fish mutiple locations in a day or succeeding days need to consider using different sets of equipment or using chemical solutions to facilitate effective means of killing invasives.
try this website for info what is effective on what species and the various methods.
