Non-Invasive Termite Inspections
Termites are incredibly good at hiding, meaning that no news isn’t necessarily good news. It is not uncommon for an Adamstown homeowner to discover termite activity once renovation has started or visible damage has begun. Traditional inspections will help catch obvious issues, but they often rely on visible evidence that may not appear until the infestation is severe. Just because an inspector did not spot mud tubes around your home does not guarantee that termites aren’t quietly munching away deep inside your walls or under the floor.
At Newcastle Pest Exterminators we advocate clients in high risk areas such as Adamstown get a Termatrac termite inspection. Termatrac technology allows technicians to look inside structures in a non-invasive manner. This device’s radar can sense motion through brick or plaster which alerts our technicians to termite activity in the home. The built in moisture detector will find higher moisture levels in wood which is an almost sure sign that termites have been in the property. With thermal imaging, any unusual hot spots, such as the warmth from a colony, will light up for us to see. When we perform a Termatrac inspection, we methodically go through all rooms, the subfloor area, the roof void, and exterior perimeter, to ensure that if there is a termite infestation hiding, we find it.
The beauty of Termatrac is how non-invasive the inspection process is. We don’t disturb any walls or ceilings, as the process only requires high tech sensors. If a suspicious area is detected we will discuss with clients the minimal steps required to confirm and eliminate the issue. There are cases where we need to verify if it is an infestation, in which case we will drill a 3mm hole which is easily sealed with permission from the homeowner and when absolutely necessary.
