The Benefits of Thermal Imaging in Pest Control
At Rattraxs Pest Control, I am always looking for innovative ways to stay one step ahead of pests and provide our customers with the very best service. One of the most valuable tools I use is thermal imaging technology – an advanced method of detecting unwanted activity inside properties.
Traditionally, pest entry points and infestations are investigated through CCTV drain surveys and sonar tracing, both of which remain essential in identifying defects and hidden access routes. However, thermal imaging allows us to go further, giving us the ability to track down the heat signatures of rodents within a building.
How Thermal Imaging Works
Thermal cameras detect heat sources rather than visible light. Every living creature emits heat, and rodents such as rats and mice give off distinct thermal signatures compared to their surroundings. By scanning walls, ceilings, and loft spaces, i can quickly attempt to identify:
• The exact location of pests hiding within cavities or insulation.
• Movement patterns of rodents travelling around a property.
• Potential nesting areas that might otherwise go undetected.
This method provides an instant, non-invasive picture of what is happening behind the scenes, without the need for unnecessary disruption to the treatment or property.
Benefits for Property Owners
• Faster detection: Quicker identification of the source of the problem, saving time and minimising damage.
• Greater accuracy: Pinpoints infestations even when pests are hidden behind walls, under floors, or in loft insulation.
• Proof of activity: Thermal imaging provides clear visual evidence of rodent presence – highly useful for commercial clients needing audit-ready reports.
• Improved control: With precise data, we can tailor treatment plans more effectively, ensuring infestations are dealt with thoroughly.
