Technology

Termatrac T3i Radar Detection Technology

Revolutionary termite detection that sees through walls, floors, and foundations without damage. Unlike basic visual inspections, our T3i technology provides precision detection with scientific accuracy.

Radar Waves

Low-frequency microwaves penetrate solid materials to detect termite movement patterns behind walls and in concealed areas.

Visual Inspection

A full check of the interior, exterior, subfloor, roof void and surrounding grounds, backed up by the radar and moisture readings.

Moisture Detection

Precise moisture measurements confirm termite activity and identify conducive conditions for colony establishment.

Bubbling paint on an internal wall: one of the only signs you'd ever see without a Termatrac. By the time this shows, the activity's already well established.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a termite inspection involve? ▼

Our comprehensive termite inspection covers your entire property including the interior, exterior, subfloor, roof void, and surrounding grounds. Using our Termatrac T3i radar technology and a moisture meter, we detect live termite activity without any invasive procedures. The inspection typically takes about an hour, a little longer for larger properties.

How much does a termite inspection cost on the Sunshine Coast? ▼

A professional termite inspection with Radar Pest Control costs $280. This includes full Termatrac T3i radar scanning, moisture detection, and a detailed digital report. You can save $60 by combining it with our general pest treatment in our Complete Protection package for $480.

What is the Termatrac T3i and why is it important? ▼

The Termatrac T3i is the world's most advanced termite detection device, combining microwave radar to detect movement behind walls with moisture detection to find conditions conducive to termites. Not all pest controllers have this technology: it's what sets Radar Pest Control apart.

Will the inspection cause any damage to my property? ▼

No, our inspection is completely non-invasive. The Termatrac T3i radar technology allows us to detect termite activity behind walls, in floor cavities, and in roof spaces without drilling, cutting, or any physical damage. This is a significant advantage over older inspection methods.

What happens if termites are found during the inspection? ▼

If we detect termite activity, we'll document it thoroughly with photos and radar readings in your report. We'll then discuss treatment options with you, including targeted treatments for active infestations and preventive barrier systems. We won't pressure you: we'll explain all options so you can make an informed decision.

Do I need a termite inspection if my house is new? ▼

Yes. Even new homes can be at risk, especially on the Sunshine Coast where termite pressure is extreme. While new homes should have a termite management system installed during construction (per AS3660.1), these systems need regular inspection to ensure they remain effective. Annual inspections are recommended from year one.

What is the difference between a termite inspection and a building inspection? ▼

A building inspection assesses the structural condition of a property (foundations, roofing, plumbing), while a termite inspection specifically looks for termite activity, damage, and conditions conducive to termites. For pre-purchase situations, we recommend both. Our termite inspections comply with AS3660.2 and include detailed timber pest assessment.

How do I prepare for a termite inspection? ▼

Please ensure the inspector has access to all areas including the subfloor, roof void, garage, and any outbuildings. Move items stored against external walls and clear access to the meter box area. If you have any areas of concern or have noticed potential termite signs, let us know when booking so we can pay special attention to those areas.

How do I read and understand my termite inspection report? ▼

Your Radar Pest Control report will clearly identify: areas where live termite activity was detected, areas with termite damage (past or present), conditions conducive to termite activity (moisture, wood-to-soil contact, poor ventilation), and our recommended actions with priority levels. We use plain language: no confusing industry jargon. Mick personally reviews every report with you and answers questions before you leave.

Do you inspect during rain or wet weather? ▼

Yes, we can inspect in light rain: the Termatrac T3i radar technology works regardless of weather conditions since it detects movement through solid materials. However, heavy rain may make external access difficult (subfloor entry, roof access). In those cases, we'll reschedule the external portion at no extra cost. Interestingly, damp conditions can actually make termite activity easier to detect with our moisture sensors.
