Remote pest monitoring has landed on the termite market following the launch of TermiSensor.
Termite monitoring and baiting systems are trusted termite protection measures. However, regularly inspecting bait stations is time-consuming and of course, termites may find a bait station in between inspections.
Introducing TermiSensor, an award-winning, patented digital monitoring system poised to revolutionise the industry. Installed in traditional in-ground stations with timber monitors, TermiSensor detects termite activity in real time.
A TermiSensor device is inserted into the top of each bait station and detects termites as soon as they enter the station (as shown in the main image, above). The TermiSensors send instant alerts by email, so you know as soon as a monitoring station is ‘hit’, allowing you to attend the site straight away, knowing which stations to inspect and add bait to.
The reusable sensors have a battery life of over five years and are designed to withstand all weather conditions. If there is a fault in a sensor, the user will receive an alert too. It’s even smart enough to detect the difference between termites and other pests, such as slugs, ants, and cockroaches, ensuring comprehensive year-round monitoring.
This continuous, year-round monitoring provides pest managers with significant time savings, cost savings and performance benefits.
With the TermiSensors monitoring for termites 24/7, the regular bait inspections are no longer required, reducing the labour and travel costs associated with traditional monitoring methods. These time and travel savings increase the profitability of managing termite monitoring systems. Importantly, as well as increasing profitability, it also enhances revenue by redirecting time saved to other income-producing jobs.
The TermiSensors also make standard monitoring systems more efficient and profitable than the newer pre-baited systems, which waste a lot of bait and still require regular inspections. With the drive to minimise insecticide use, TermiSensors are the smart IPM option.
From a performance point of view, the TermiSensor allows the pest manager to know as soon as termites are present in a bait station. This ensures there is no delay before baiting commences, delivering optimal performance. Of course, this 24/7 monitoring is very reassuring for the homeowner as well!
TermiSensor is managed using an app for onsite management and an intuitive web interface for administrators to get an overview of all the site installations, to review alerts and to send reminders. Pest managers can use the app to note information about customer sites, such as the date and amount of bait applied to each bait station, and reports can be easily generated for customers.
Pesense, the company that produces TermiSensor, may be a new name in the pest control market, but there is significant technology and termite know-how in the business, with the four directors either having an engineering or termite industry background. The result of this expertise is TermiSensor, a fully patented product that has been ten years in the making, a product that is set to revolutionise termite monitoring.
