Finds Termites Through Walls with Accuracy and Reduced Use of Chemicals; Saves Homeowners Time, Money; Provides Peace of Mind LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Progressive pest exterminators are abandoning the practice of filling homes with toxic chemicals and, instead, are using a handheld instrument straight out of a CSI television episode. The new Termatrac® T3i tracks termites through walls, enabling pest control experts to attack the bugs directly. Manufactured by Termatrac LLC, based in Los Angeles and Queensland, Australia, the Termatrac T3i is held against the wall by the pest control expert. Radar beams pass through sheetrock and other common building materials, locating termites and other pests. At the same time, a moisture sensor confirms conditions conducive to termite presence. Finally, a thermal sensor picks up tiny changes in surface temperature, a common sign of termite infestation.
