Termatrac: microwave technology for non-destructive detection of insect pests in timber
2002 - IRG/WP 02-20253
Termatrac is a microwave instrument that has been developed in Australia to detect termite movement within timber and wall cavities. We present data from an investigation into the usefulness of the instrument in detecting drywood and subterranean termites in timber. The West Indian drywood termite Cryptotermes brevis (Walker) was detected in a wooden chair. The subterranean termites Coptotermes ac...

Assessment of the Termatrac™ system - a new microwave based technology for non-destructive detection of termites
2003 - IRG/WP 03-20265
Termites can be difficult to detect reliably and many detection methods are destructive to property or disturbing to the termites (which may interfere with remedial treatment). The reliability of Termatrac™, a new Australian device for the detection of termites in an unobtrusive manner, based on novel microwave technology, was tested in the field. Termite presence was assessed as indicated by th...
