TERMATRAC©
ELECTRONIC DETECTION OF TERMITES
PRESS
RELEASE - September 25, 2001
Protec
USA, Inc., located in Coral Gables/Miami, Florida, announced
today that it had entered into an agreement for the
distribution of Termatrac® Pty. Ltd. of, Australia's
TERMATRAC® termite detection device in the
United States, Canada and other NAFTA countries.
The
TERMATRAC® is the world's
first electronic instrument that detects the movement
of termites through
solid objects. Invented and developed in Brisbane,
Australia, the TERMATRAC® utilizes patented microwave
technology to determine termite activity hidden below
the surface of timber, plasterboard, ceramic, brick
or masonry surfaces with no interference to the building
material or termite activity. The microwave emission
is less than that of a microwave oven or even a television.
The
patented TERMATRAC® unit has been in development for
more than 10 years and has been in commercial use
in Australia. Explained simply, the TERMATRAC® emits
signals that penetrate the material being searched.
If these signals are interrupted by termite activity,
the liquid crystal display will alert the pest control
professional to this activity. This information will
assists the pest control professional in tracking the
extent of the termite activity and tracking the entry
points to determine the most suitable treatment procedures.
Most importantly, the TERMATRAC® permits the
location and tracking of the termites without the need
for damaging any physical property or opening any galleries.
The TERMATRAC® device is well suited for almost
all sites. It is best suited where there has been no
disturbance to the suspect infestation site. Additionally,
the TERMATRAC® unit can be used to monitor the
infested site after treatment.
The TERMATRAC® device will be introduced at
the NPMA Show in New Orleans at the end of October.
