Termite/Pest Detector supports Android connectivity. - February 20, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

BRISBANE, Australia -- Termatrac (www.termatrac.com) announces the release of an Android app which can be used as the display component of a Termatrac T3i, and now ships an Android device with every T3i termite detection unit. The T3i connects to the Android device via Bluetooth, providing sharper and more responsive viewing, and a simpler user interface than the previously supplied PDA.

"The support of the Android is great advancement for the T3i, making best use of rapidly advancing technology. It's a great platform that gives us lots of options for the future " said Chris Curtis, Termatrac General Manager, "Owners of the T3i can also use their own Android devices, whether they be phones or tablets."

The Termatrac T3i has advanced radar technology but also includes thermal and moisture sensors. Radar technology detects the movement of termites, while thermal and moisture sensors detect temperature and moisture differentials indicating the evidence of termites, giving pest control operators and home inspectors more capabilities to do their jobs better and more accurately.

About Termatrac: Termatrac was founded in Australia in 1990. After conducting research at Griffith University in Queensland, Australia, the first hand-held detection radar device was developed. Additional studies and testing continued and the first version of the device was launched in 1999. Termatrac now offers the Termatrac T3i, the second-generation termite detection device that utilizes radar, thermal and moisture sensors for precise termite detection.

Integrated Pest Management Offers A Better Mousetrap - February 20, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

Having proactive plans and programs to manage the sanitation conditions in a plant so that the facility is not creating harborages and desirable conditions for pests is advisable and often required by auditors and regulations. For food processors, pest control is a complex challenge. Though processors have been credited with successfully removing most agricultural pesticide residues before food products reach the marketplace, food processing itself can attract pests of all kinds. A variety of EPA-approved pesticides are available for use in processing facilities, but a better, long-term solution is to prevent infestation in the first place.

Taking a holistic approach

Pesticides are often the method used to control pests, but pesticides alone are not the solution. A better solution is to have an integrated pest management (IPM) program as part of your food safety program. IPM is an approach to pest management that minimizes reliance on chemical pesticides and instead of only trying to eradicate pests considers all available preventative and curative options.

The first step is to take a holistic and comprehensive approach to pest control, including a close examination of the physical plant to get rid of the food, water and harborage that attract pests. Pest control managers should first look for evidence of infestation, such as rodent droppings or actual pest sightings, especially in the most likely places near dumpsters, loading docks, anywhere moisture collects inside or outside the plant, around light fixtures inside and outside or wherever food or food residue can accumulate in tough-to-reach places.

Sealing the facility from pests goes a long way toward preventing infestation and can reduce the need for pesticides, but its not the whole solution. Where evidence of pests is found, its important to identify them rodents, beetles, flies, etc. and to determine when and how frequently you are finding those specifics pests and in which specific part of the plant in order to analyze how they might be getting in. You also will need to determine the most effective way for your facility to eliminate them, including the use of chemical pesticides, bait traps, diligent sanitation or other means.

Once an IPM plan is developed, it is critical to implement it on a consistent basis, and this means enlisting the support of company officers as well as production employees. The pest control managers task is to ensure that recommendations for repairs to the physical plant are implemented. Finally, the effects of the IPM plan should be monitored, reported, and recorded. Its important to remember that even if one problem area is cleared of pests, infestation may recur or evidence of pests may be found elsewhere in the facility. Although there are many options for eliminating pests, prevention is a better long-term solution and requires continuing effort.

Summing up

In general terms, an effective IPM plan includes four steps:

Pest control is forever a concern for food producers at large. Its a task that requires knowledge and expertise to comply with national and local regulations and the requirements of third-party auditors. Additionally, the cleanliness and safety of your food products are equated with your brands reputation, which makes paying attention to a meticulously-kept facility of critical importance. An investment in an effective IPM plan helps ensure the safety and quality of the products being delivered to consumers.
