A key member of the ORIGIN Termite Baiting System Team, Pippa underwent months of intensive training with specialists in Australia to assist ORIGIN Exterminators in their quest for termite elimination. The concept of leveraging on dogs for their accurate and sensitive sense of smell is not new. However, their application in pest management is a relatively new innovation in Asia. Pippa is trained to detect the signature scent trial of termites, and can very accurately hone in on and pinpoint where termites are hiding. This four footed wonder can also sniff out termites even in the roofs of houses.
Greater ACCURACY in Termite Detection
Pippa is the first termite detection dog in Asia. Her acute sense of smell makes her a superior option for termite detection with a 98% accuracy rate of detection compared to 40% accuracy rate of a human pest management technician visual inspection. Once Pippa has identified a termite infestation, Pippa’s handler will then conduct a visual inspection to confirm the presence of termites. A dog’s sense of smell is highly sensitive. In fact, it ranges from 10,000 to 100,000 times more superior than humans. This is because a dog’s scent organ is about 4 times larger than a human’s.
LESS TIME is required for Termite Inspection
A key advantage that a Pippa search offers is speed. Pippa can swiftly search and locate any active termites in your home within a relatively short time span. Thermal imaging or other handheld termite detection devices necessitates detailed scans of every area in order to check for suspected areas of termite infestation. In a large establishment, this can become very time consuming. With Pippa on the job, she can swiftly sniff out termites in each designated sector within minutes.
A good option for a DISCREET inspection
Pippa is a 4 year old, medium sized beagle. She is well behaved, and does not bark whilst on the job. When she locates an active termite scent, she will sit and paw the spot she has sniffed out. She is also clean and well groomed. Pippa also specializes in termite detection for venues that have security clearance concerns as well as eliminates the need to raise suspected wood surfaces to ascertain the presence of an infestation as she can sniff out termites even when they are hiding behind woodwork paneling. Pippa is the MOST EFFICIENT and EFFECTIVE Termite Detection tool here in Singapore.
