How It Works;
The WavelengthEMTS® system kills termites within the wood where they live. This is achieved by the bombardment of radio frequency waves upon the pest's cell structure and the wood cells housing them. The radio frequency bombardment of the moisture within the wood and 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.

What It was designed for;
The microwave generator unit and operating system was designed for the localized treatment of termites and fungi living within seasoned hard or soft wood timbers and framing of furniture & 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

History of WavelengthEMTS®
In the early 1990s the only means of non-chemical alternative treatment available to the pest control operator in lieu of fumigation was long term agreements for the use of an electrocution method, or costly sub-contracting of other experimental treatment methods not available for lease or purchase, i.e. heat or freeze methods.
Frustrated with the limited choices available, two termite control firms with combined years of professional knowledge in fumigation as well as termite control, jointly set out to develop a safe, effective, practical and affordable alternative non chemical treatment procedure which could be offered for sale to professional pest control operators. The WavelengthEMTS® Proto2 GE575 Microwave Treatment System and the newly developed Proto3 GE1150 Dual port System are the result of the joint efforts undertaken to satisfy the industry's need.

WavelengthEMTS® Philosophy
Microwave treatment of insects is not a new technology. In fact, it has been around and in use for years. We do believe it is the way of the future and will be more in demand as the public becomes more aware of the environmental and health problems associated with conventional poisonous gas fumigation. As the pest control industry looks for alternative non-chemical methods of treatment without compromising effectiveness, reliability or affordable cost factor, microwave technology clearly appears to be the pest control operator's preferred choice of tools for the future.
WavelengthEMTS® envisions that by the year 2020, for termite control firms, owning a microwave treatment system will become as commonplace and necessary as owning a chemical spray canister. WavelengthEMTS® plans to remain the pest control operator's number one manufacturer and system supplier well into the next decade.

WavelengthEMTS® has been manufacturing and marketing its microwave treatment systems since 1993. There are numerous termite control firms that currently own and use WavelengthEMTS® Systems successfully.
