One day a typical home may include a termite detector in addition to the customary smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
A product of four years of experimentation, development and testing in the field, by its' inventor, William T. Moyer. He is owner and operator of "Structural Damage Specialists", a company that specializes in termite damage repairs. The company operates in the eastern half of North and South Carolina. For many years "Structural Damage Specialists" has performed termite damage repairs for pest control companies, realtors and home owners. This system has the potential to save homeowners millions of dollars a year by early detection of wood-eating pests.
Currently termite inspections are performed by a technician in a crawlspace or basement with a flashlight and a screwdriver, poking on beams and floor joists, looking for damage caused by termites. By the time they are discovered using this method a lot of damage has already occurred. Sometimes damage is only discovered when the termites come out of the walls to swarm in the spring of the year.
Mr. Moyer discovered several years ago that termites produce more CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) each year than all other living organisms combined.
The detection system, which is patented, samples the air in the wall cavities of buildings and analyzes its composition to determine any increase in carbon dioxide. If there is an increase there is a strong possibility that the termites are there and further investigation is warranted. They may then be exterminated before major damage is done.
A homeowner's inability to detect the presence of termites before their activities become noticeable is a major obstacle in early termite control. It is our weakest link in fighting termites. Currently, termites are found through indirect methods after they have already done significant damage.
Our detection system will change that.
