Termite inspection tools - Tapper. Alan Ferguson, Conquer Termites Northside

Wed 25 Jul 2018
The tapper is a telescopic-looking equipment that is used by termite inspectors when they investigate and look out for termite activity around the house. It may look like an antenna of an old television, but the purpose of the tapper is not to give a garbled signal, but to indicate the paths where termite activity is present. Alan usually uses the tapper to go through exposed timber. This is done in order to find out if there are hollow spots in the timber that is usually caused by termite activity. Termites eat through timber leaving some layers of paint that makes the timber look like its fine when it's actually infested with termites on the inside. Termites usually work in these types of closed spaces to keep predators out and keep moisture in, which is very vital in the life of termites. Alan and his team from Conquer Termites Northside go through all the parts of the household from the outside all the way to every room inside the house, making sure that the suspected termite hub in every client's house is free from destructive termites.
