Subterranean termites (commonly called "white ants") are the most feared pests in Singapore because they cause hundreds of thousands of dollars of property damage every year. 70% of the infestation is caused by
Coptotermes gestroi, the same notorious species that causes the most damage in Myanmar and Thailand.
It is estimated that one out of every five untreated buildings will be infested by termites at least once in the building's lifetime. This is much higher than the combined risks of burglary, earthquake, fire and flooding, which are all insurable but not termite damage. That is until now. Aardwolf Pestkare offers you financial protection against termite damage. For more information, please CLICK here.
Termites enter through building openings and hairline cracks in their relentless search for food, which is the cellulose found in timber. Undetected they work slowly, silently and non-stop, eating your property away. Unfortunately by the time you notice their shelter mud-tubes, extensive damage would have been done to your ceiling, roof rafters, wall panels, storeroom contents, electrical-switch boxes, built-in cabinets, window and door frames, valuable artwork, carpets and documents.
With TermiCam from Australia, Aardwolf Pestkare created history by making Singapore the first country outside Australia to use the state-of-the-art thermal imaging, to detect termites quickly, effectively and reliably. Using infra-red technology, TermiCam is non-destructive, non-intrusive and environmentally friendly.
Australian certified Thermographers will thermal image your property in search of "hot spots", which will be examined with
Borescope and Termatrac that uses microwave technology to detect termite movements.
Any termite infestation will be immediately spot-treated, using a specially formulated non-arsenic bait, Xterm from Sumitomo, Japan.
Where necessary,
Aardwolf Pestkare will offer to termite-proof your building, using "Agenda", the highly acclaimed termiticide for colony management. The effectiveness is
guaranteed
for 5 years because
Aardwolf Pestkare is appointed Approved Applicator by Bayer Environmental Science, the owner of "Agenda". Then outdoor Termite Monitoring Stations will be installed as an early warning system.
Another hazard property owners face is the risk of fires starting from short-circuits that make electrical sockets burst into flames.
Since our Thermographers are already at your property checking for termites, they are trained to also thermal scan for "temperature signatures" in overheated components.
The most common causes for "temperature signatures" are:
Loose or corroded connections
Poor contacts
Unbalanced loads
Overloading
Crisp clear Thermograms will then be given to assist your qualified electrician in rectifying the problem and prevent fires.
This add-on service is WITHOUT CHARGE when you engage our TermiCam Service.
