Microwave Technology

Seashore Pest Control's termite control techniques are clean and efficient

The microwave system kills termites, fungi and beetle larvae within the wood where they live. This is achieved by the bombardment of radio frequency waves upon the pest's cell structure and wood cells housing them. The radio frequency bombardment of the moisture within the 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.

The microwave generator unit and operating system was designed for localized treatment of termites, fungi and wood destroying beetle larvae living within the seasoned hard or soft wood timbers and framing of furniture and 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. Click here for more information on the history of the Wavelength® system

Once termites are located in specific wall framing, the magnatron is set-up and microwaving is performed in infested areas.

Seashore Pest Control's microwave technology to treat drywood and dampwood termites is clean and efficient.

Seashore's microwave engineers developed and built the 1st microwave in 1987. It's been refined and upgraded ever since.
