Termites pose a serious threat to anything that is made of wood. Termite infestation in houses or buildings means complete deterioration and damage. Thermal imaging is one major tool for detecting termite issues and thereby eliminating these creatures from your home.
Termites pose an essential threat to every wooden object, causing serious damage to buildings, furniture and any other items made of wood. Thermal imaging gives you a high technology detection mechanism which is effective, quick and does not inflict any damage to houses because there’s no drilling involved.
How is the Heat Pattern Determined?
Thermal imaging technology works by detecting heat patterns. When termites invade these buildings the normal heat pattern of the buildings are changed because of the presence of these termites. A thermal camera records this change in heat pattern indicating the exact location of the termites.
Areas where termites are most active can be easily found with a thermal camera, helping owners save thousands of dollars in repair damages. Termites need to stay out of light in damper, darker areas inside the floor, walls and roof spaces. These pests need to control their temperature by staying in large groups, building moist mud surfaces or by living around washing machines and power points.
The thermal camera detects these changes in termite heat pattern changes, projecting images of the termite colonies in the ground.
What are the Advantages of Thermal Detection?
While looking for termites in any building or house, it is important to inspect all areas thoroughly. A camera is used to scan the entire wall, ceiling and floor of a particular room quickly and without any damage to the structure. Heat patterns of this structure are recorded like digital images in the memory of any camera. These images give you a record of the location of the termites at the end of the inspection process.
The thermal imaging technology detects heat patterns. Thermal imaging gives you environment-friendly technology with zero radiation and zero chemicals. To sum up, the advantages of a thermal imaging system are:-
- Non-destructiveness
- Rapid and effective scanning of termites
- Proper scan of floor, walls, ceiling, outdoor and each corner
- Environment friendly
- No chemicals or radiation used
- The building is kept free of damage
- Immediate and quick information on termite infestation
- Accurate location of where to inject or spray pesticides for the best effect
- The pictures give proof of evidence and infestation
Home owners are gradually accepting new technologies to get rid of termite issues. Most households in Queensland and adjoining coastal regions suffer a lot from termite build up.
What Australians fail to realize is that thousands of dollars can be wasted in finding an effective solution for termites. As the old adage goes, “Prevention is always better than cure.” Take a step and make way for a termite free future.
