All our inspectors are trained and equipped to use these devices
Thermal Imaging is the “must” have device to detect termites in your home. The thermal imaging technology allows us to pick up variance in surface temperature, which could suggest to an experienced inspector an area of termite activity. The FLIR e50 cameras have the ability to detect thermal variance to degrees celsius using a 320×240 pixel resolution.
Conquer Termites embraces any legitimate technology that enables a more thorough inspection of your home. That is why we have invested in equipping all of our Inspectors with a Flir e50 Thermal Imaging camera. When you get your home inspected by one of our professional and fully licensed inspectors, you can be reassured that they’ll turn up with a thermal camera that can really tell you what is happening.
But as they say, “pictures are better than words”. Please watch the below video to understand how useful a thermal camera can be in detecting termites.
The Termatrac motion detection device is a great tool to confirm if there are termites moving behind a wall or skirting board. If the Moisture Meter has high readings and there is a significant surface temperature anomaly reading from the Thermal Camera, the Termatrac device is a great way to confirm movement before recommending to be invasive to establish visual confirmation of termites.
Another great detection tool is the Borescope, allowing us to see inside cavities to confirm the presents of live termites. Normally, we can make a small hole in the wall lining and insert the probe to investigate. This kind of inspection is “invasive” and not within the scope of a Regular Visual Termite Inspection.
With every inspection, our technicians use a Tramex moisture meter to measure moisture levels within internal timbers. Elevated moisture readings can indicate conditions conducive to termite activity, as termites create moist environments and dampen their feeding zones as they move through timber.
When abnormal moisture levels are detected, our inspectors then use Termatrac monitoring devices to further investigate the area. This layered approach helps us build a clearer picture of what’s happening behind the surfaces of your home and determine whether further action is required.
The Australian Standards 3660.2.2017 spells out how inspections should be conducted, but here we go beyond the Australian Standard minimum. At every inspection we set high standards achieving excellent results. We’ll spend the “time it takes & more” to check your home and garden. You’ll receive a comprehensive & understandable digital report that contains photos of your property to help you understand the outcomes. You’ll receive this report on the same day by email. (This report is not a quick tick and flick type of report most of our competitors will offer you).
Detection devices – are they the bee’s knees?
There is no single device that can definitively detect termites. A thermal camera does not see through walls, and there is no machine that simply “pings” and announces the presence of termites.
Professional termite detection relies on combining information from multiple tools, including thermal imaging, motion detection and moisture meters. An experienced inspector interprets these readings alongside construction details, environmental conditions and visible evidence to assess the likelihood of termite activity.
Only when termites are visually confirmed can we confidently state that termites are present. This is why experience, methodical inspection and professional judgement matter just as much as the technology used.
Red tape is part of our world
When it comes to protecting your biggest asset, everything must be done properly and in line with regulations. As a fully licensed and insured company, we follow all required standards and compliance processes – every time.
That said, it’s important to understand that a termite inspection has its limitations. Inspections are non-invasive by nature, which means concealed termite activity can’t always be detected without opening up walls, floors, or other structures.
