When facing the risk of termite infestation, people need to be aware of the signs of termite infestations. However, sometimes it is hard to see the signs because the termites live way deeper under the ground, or inside a thick wood structure. When it happens. some of the pest control companies use technologies to detect termites activity. Find out what are those technologies in this article.
The technologies used to detect termites activity are
1. Termatrac
Termatrac is a well known and widely used technology by the pest control company. It is said that Termatrac is the number one detection device in the world. It contains three core technologies to detect termites activity. They are detection radar, a thermal detector, and a moisture-sensing sensor. Since it can detect three aspects at the same time, it can make the termite inspection more effective.
The detection radar allows non-intrusive detection. It is proven by the radar can detect the termite without a need for penetration to the building structure. It can detect termite through some building materials, even the thick brick, and concrete. The remote thermal sensor will detect heat sources generated by the termites. It can be used for large-area scans, which later, allow the specialist to inspect faster and more effective.
The thermal sensor can also detect the entrance of the termite gallery. So it can be repaired or plugged. The last component of Termatrac is a moisture sensor. It can identify areas with concentrated moisture that prone to termite infestation within different surfaces. Since it can detect moisture area, the specialist can detect the termite colony nest with this one of technologies to detect termites activity, Termatrac.
2. Borescope
Known to be used as Borescope inspection, this technology has become more useful and helpful, especially for a termite inspection. The use of Borescope for termite inspections are for the area which cannot be reached the other way. The ability of the Borescope to reach and inspect deep in the material is the main reason why it is used for a termite inspection.
By using Borescope it will eliminate the need to demounting the wall just for detecting termite. While you don’t need to demount your wall, you can also avoid damages from demounting it. It will also save much more time. By using Borescope you can detect the termite activity earlier and avoid further damages of your property.
However, this one of the technologies to detect termites activity is not an easy feat for a homeowner. To use borescope you need to rely on the professional for the inspection. Its because you may not be experienced with how to use and how it works, it is also you are unable to do the inspection yourself. Professional knows how and where to use the borescope to detect the termite.
Those are technologies used by the professional to help to detect the well-hidden termite colony. Since termite control uses those technologies, then you must consider asking a professional to get a better inspection of your property. You can contact us directly by whatsapp or phone number.
