Termites often like to hide out in concealed places, it's the very nature of their existence, so it's important to have the right tools to find them.
We use a Termatrac extensively during our inspections, it helps us to identify termite activity or often just for peace of mind that there really is no activity. The unit uses a radar to bounce signals into wood and other materials to determine if there's movement, it's so sensitive that it's best to set up on a tripod as you can see in the pictures. The benefit is that we can get an extremely accurate understanding of what's happening inside walls and means we don't have to do any destructive inspecting.

The unit sends signals deep into the timber to accurately measure movement.
