About
Termatrac is a specialist manufacturer of advanced pest and termite detection technology, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Australia with offices in the USA. Their flagship product, the iTraker PRO, is a cutting-edge handheld device designed for pest control professionals and building inspectors who need to locate pest activity without causing structural damage. The iTraker PRO integrates five complementary sensing technologies: a Thermal Imaging Camera that detects heat anomalies indicating pest activity; a Radar Motion Sensor that uses low-energy microwaves to detect movement inside walls, floors, and ceilings; a Moisture Direct Sensor with 40mm penetration depth; a Moisture Relative Sensor that identifies moisture-prone zones conducive to pest activity; and both surface Temperature Sensors and a Temperature Probe for precision environmental readings. All data captured during inspections syncs to the iTraker cloud platform via the dedicated iOS and Android app, enabling efficient report generation, storage, and client sharing. Termatrac also offers a comprehensive training and certification program — including online and in-person workshops in Australia and the USA — to ensure technicians are fully qualified to leverage the device's capabilities. The iTraker PRO is ideal for residential and commercial building inspections, pre-purchase pest surveys, post-treatment verification, and ongoing pest monitoring programs. It eliminates the need to dismantle walls or floorboards, protecting property and reducing inspection time while delivering higher-quality diagnostic data.
Key Features
- Radar Motion Sensor: Uses non-intrusive, low-energy microwaves to detect pest movement inside walls, floorboards, and ceilings without causing any structural damage.
- Thermal Imaging Camera: Identifies thermal anomalies within building structures that may indicate hidden pest activity or moisture-related issues.
- Dual Moisture Sensing: Combines a Direct Moisture Sensor (up to 40mm depth) and a Relative Moisture Sensor to map moisture distribution and identify areas prone to pest infestation.
- Cloud-Based iTraker App: Syncs all inspection data to a secure cloud platform via iOS and Android apps, enabling easy report generation, storage, and sharing with clients.
- Certification Training Program: Online and in-person certification workshops in Australia and the USA ensure technicians are fully skilled to use the device to its full capability.
Use Cases
- Residential pre-purchase building and pest inspections to identify hidden termite activity without structural damage
- Commercial property pest audits requiring comprehensive, non-invasive surveys across large floor areas
- Post-treatment verification to confirm that pest activity has ceased following chemical or physical treatment
- Moisture mapping during building inspections to identify areas at high risk of future pest infestation
- Ongoing pest monitoring programs for high-risk structures such as timber-framed heritage buildings or properties in termite-prone regions
Pros
- Truly Non-Invasive: Eliminates the need to dismantle walls or lift floorboards, protecting client property and dramatically reducing inspection disruption.
- Multi-Sensor Integration: Combining radar, thermal, moisture, and temperature data in a single device provides a more comprehensive and accurate picture of pest activity than single-sensor tools.
- Field-Ready Mobile Reporting: The companion app enables real-time data capture and cloud-based report sharing, improving efficiency and professionalism on-site.
- Industry-Standard Compliance: Designed to meet pest control and building inspection industry standards, making it suitable for regulatory-compliant professional reports.
Cons
- High Upfront Hardware Cost: As a professional-grade hardware device, the iTraker PRO carries a significant purchase price that may be a barrier for individual inspectors or small operators.
- Training Required for Full Utilisation: Certification training is necessary to fully leverage the device's capabilities, adding time and cost to onboarding new technicians.
- Niche Use Case: The device is purpose-built for pest control and building inspection, limiting its applicability to a narrow professional audience.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Termatrac iTraker PRO?
The iTraker PRO is a professional non-invasive pest detection device that combines a thermal imaging camera, radar motion sensor, moisture sensors, and temperature sensors to detect termites and other pests without damaging building structures.
How does the radar sensor detect pests without opening walls?
The radar motion sensor emits low-energy microwaves that penetrate building materials and detect the movement of pests within walls, ceilings, and floorboards, returning a signal that indicates live activity without any physical intrusion.
What mobile platforms does the iTraker app support?
The iTraker app is available for both Android (via the Google Play Store) and iOS (via TestFlight). It enables field data capture, cloud storage, and report sharing.
Is certification training required to use the iTraker PRO?
While not mandatory to operate the device, Termatrac strongly recommends their certification training program — available online and in-person in Australia and the USA — to ensure technicians maximise the device's detection accuracy.
What types of pests can the iTraker PRO detect?
The iTraker PRO is primarily designed for termite detection but can detect the movement of a wide range of pests within building structures. It is used by pest control professionals and building inspectors across residential and commercial properties.
