Termites, a silent enemy.
At RapiPlaga we invest in technology so we are always up to date.
For years, our trusted ally in diagnosing termites has been the acoustic system. This technology allowed us to find many infestations by “listening” to the insects’ activity in the wood. It gave us great results and helped us protect hundreds of homes.
But technology moves on, and so do we. Today we are taking a giant step forward, leaving purely acoustic detection behind and entering the era of Precision Radar.
The evolution: from acoustic detection to microwave radar
While the acoustic detection system relied on picking up sound (which could sometimes be affected by background noise from the street or the house), our new iTraker equipment uses microwave radar technology.
What is the big difference? We no longer need termites to “make noise” or tap on the wood to find them.
Before: we listened for vibrations.
Now: we detect real physical movement through walls, regardless of background noise.
Surgical precision without building work
The most advanced termite detection in the world.
With this new addition, the RapiPlaga team can scan your walls, frames and beams with far greater reliability. The iTraker cross-references three key data points for a better diagnosis
Movement radar: sees through brick, plasterboard and wood.
Moisture sensor: locates the hidden damp areas where the colony thrives.
Temperature sensor: detects the temperature changes linked to biological activity.
What does this mean for you? Faster diagnoses, fewer false alarms and more precise location of the source of the problem, without drilling to check.
At RapiPlaga, we keep updating our equipment so we can always offer you the most advanced solution on the market. If you suspect activity in your home, put us to the test.

The serious risk of termites
Many people think termites are just an “annoying bug”, but at RapiPlaga we know they are, quite literally, a headache for those who suffer them. The real danger is not that they eat a door frame, but that they work silently devouring the wood, which is especially dangerous when the structure of the home is made of wood or it has high-value furniture.
By the time the damage is visible from the outside, safety is often already compromised, which sends the property’s market value plummeting.
And be very careful if you are thinking of selling or have just bought. From our day-to-day experience in property disputes, finding termites after signing is a legal nightmare. It is considered a serious “hidden defect” that can entitle the new buyer to cancel the purchase and claim very high damages from the seller. It is no joke: a good diagnosis in time protects your pocket and keeps you out of court, and stops your property’s value from collapsing.
