What Is A Thermal Imagining Camera?
A Thermographic Camera (also called an Infrared Camera or Thermal Imaging Camera) is a device that forms an image using infrared radiation, similar to a common camera that forms an image using visible light.
Instead of the 450–750 nanometer range of the visible light camera, infrared cameras operate in wavelengths as long as 14,000 nm (14 µm)
A thermal camera is an amazing tool when used for termite inspections as they will pick up hot and cold areas in a wall better than any tool currently available.
When the sun heats up a wall, we are able to see an image of the timber wall frames contained inside. Numerous times whilst conducting a Pre-Purchase Inspection, we have identified past termite damage that the seller has tried to hide with new plaster and fresh paint.
We can physically see parts of the timber frame are missing or additional timbers that have been bolted to the frame to brace damaged timber.
Active termite damage with large termite numbers are clearly visible, quickly and easily.
Active termite nests are easily seen like the sun glowing out of the wall.
A Word Of Honest Caution…
Thermal cameras are not magic wands! Thermal cameras pick up temperature changes and as such old termite damage will have very little to no temperature change when next to a clean wall.
If the sun is shining on the wall and we can physically see missing timbers then we will notice past damage hidden behind a freshly painted wall. Active termites give off heat whether they are attacking a wall or if they are in a nest located in your walls. If they give off heat next to the plaster wall in numbers – we will see them.
A thermal camera will not see 4 or 5 individual termites in your wall, as they will not give off enough heat to be seen.

Overall We Are Very HAPPY With The Service We Get From Silks Every Year
5 STAR RATING – Silks have been looking after our home in East Brisbane for the past 5 years. We had them install a termite barrier around the home shortly after we purchased it in January 2012, and we have Adam come out every year to inspect for termites. What we love about Silks is that they send us a reminder when we are due for the inspection, so we dont have to worry about keeping track of it, we just get the reminder and book it straight in. I’ve found Adam to be very switched on and he is very thorough at what he does. Overall we are very happy with the service we get from Silks every year and will continue to use them for years to come.
We Were So WORRIED When We Found Termites
5 STAR RATING – We recently had Adam from Silks Pest Control come out to our home in Holland Park. I had found termites when I was vaccuming and had hit the skirting board with the vacuum – the skirting board literally caved in! And then we saw the termites running around in there and started to panic! I asked our Neighbour who she had recently used for her Termite problems and she highly recommended Adam from Silks. So we gave him a call that morning, and he was just so helpful and calming over the phone. He came out that afternoon, performed the inspection, and found 4 other spots where the termites were. He treated all of those areas, then came back a few weeks later to make sure the treatment had worked. He also explained that we had no barrier in place to prevent termite attacks and provided… Read More “We Were So WORRIED When We Found Termites”
