Below Is information about a well
known commercial brand Microwave Termite Treatment Device System.
The knowledge you gain from learning about this commercial brand device
will help you understand how microwave termite treatment works and
how you can make use of a similar generic device system that you build
yourself.
How It Works;
The WavelengthEMTS® system kills termites within the wood where
they live. This is achieved by the bombardment of radio frequency
waves upon the pest's cell structure and the wood cells housing them.
The radio frequency bombardment of the moisture within the wood and
pest thermally heats the infestation or infection rapidly from the
inside outward, similar to the way a potato thermally heats within
a microwave oven. Heat generated becomes lethal in a very short time.
The generator is then moved to treat adjacent infested areas to achieve
a complete kill.
What It was designed for;
The microwave generator unit and operating system was designed for
the localized treatment of termites and fungi living within seasoned
hard or soft wood timbers and framing of furniture & structures.
It is capable of thermal treatment up to 9" in depth, this includes
but is not limited to treatment of accessible infestation and infection
concealed within inaccessible wall areas and voids constructed of
masonry, wood, wood products, acrylic plastic and glass. Treatment
will not penetrate metal or metal byproducts
History of WavelengthEMTS®
In the early 1990s the only means of non-chemical alternative treatment
available to the pest control operator in lieu of fumigation was long
term agreements for the use of an electrocution method, or costly
sub-contracting of other experimental treatment methods not available
for lease or purchase, i.e. heat or freeze methods.
Frustrated with the limited choices available, two termite control
firms with combined years of professional knowledge in fumigation
as well as termite control, jointly set out to develop a safe, effective,
practical and affordable alternative non chemical treatment procedure
which could be offered for sale to professional pest control operators.
The Wavelength® Proto2 GE575 Microwave Treatment System is the
result of the joint efforts undertaken to satisfy the industry's need.
Had there not been a need the system would not exist today.
WavelengthEMTS® Philosophy
Microwave treatment of insects is not a new technology. In fact, it
has been around and in use for years. We do believe it is the way
of the future and will be more in demand as the public becomes more
aware of the environmental and health problems associated with conventional
poisonous gas fumigation. As the pest control industry looks for alternative
non-chemical methods of treatment without compromising effectiveness,
reliability or affordable cost factor, microwave technology clearly
appears to be the pest control operator's preferred choice of tools
for the future.
WavelengthEMTS® envisions that by the year 2020, for termite
control firms, owning a microwave treatment system will become as
commonplace and necessary as owning a chemical spray canister. WavelengthEMTS®
plans to remain the pest control operator's number one manufacturer
and system supplier well into the next decade.
WavelengthEMTS® has been manufacturing and marketing its microwave
treatment systems since 1993. There are numerous termite control firms
that currently own and use WavelengthEMTS® Systems successfully.
