Different Techniques Used For Termite Inspection

In Brisbane, pest control is often referred to as termite control because termites are the common pests found there. As the damage caused by the termites is the maximum as compared to the one caused by other pests, people give attention to the termite inspection and control. To save their properties from these tiny destroyers and to keep them at bay, homeowners prefer timely pest inspections so that any damage can be handled at an early stage.

However, in order to have effective pest control in Brisbane or in any other region, it is really essential that you get to know about the pest activity at its early stage. Otherwise, it will be too late to eliminate them completely. Talking about the termite activity, though many of the homeowners carry out the visual inspections themselves to notice the termite activity, but still, they are recommended to get their property inspected by the professionals on regular basis.

And there is a reason behind this recommendation. As the main damage that termites cause, occur to the wooden material and the cellulose-containing material, their activity would be visible if their route is on the outer part of the material. But, in most of the cases, termites find their route at the points which are hard to reach for you and contain some kind of debris. Such a damage is not visible and you would not be able to locate the termite activity even in the case they are present. But, the equipment and the tools that professionals have are powerful enough that they can detect the termite activity deep in the walls. That's why, no matter how well you take the preventions for keeping the termites at bay, still you are recommended to get your house inspected by the professional pest control experts.

Let us tell you the main termite inspection methods that are used by the professionals.

• Tracking Systems
  The microwave tracking systems are used for locating the termite activity in walls. These systems work on the basis of the microwave beam. When the tracking system is scrolled on the walls, its beam gets interrupted in the case termites pass through the particular area. And this interruption is indicated on its monitor.
• Infra Red Wall Cameras
  Infra red wall cameras are used to locate the termite activity in the small cavities that you would not be able to notice with a naked eye. It lets you detect the conditions that are required for the survival of the termites.
• Borescope Inspection
  In this method, a 6 mm hole is made into the wall and an optic fibre borescope is inserted into that hole to identify the termite activity or any evidence of their presence. Thus, you can detect your house walls without leading to much destruction, with borescope inspection.
• Moisture meters
  As moisture is one of the various survival conditions for the termites, professional experts use the moisture meter to detect the moisture and then analyzing the possibility of the termite presence.

All these inspection techniques let the professionals detect even the minute termite infestations in your property. So, you are recommended to seek professionals' help for detecting the termite presence in your house.
