Whitmire Micro-Gen Introduces Reveal Termite Monitoring System

ST. LOUIS, MO – Whitmire Micro-Gen has introduced a new termite monitoring product intended to help pest management professionals increase termite lead flow while boosting revenues and enhancing relationships with general insect customers.

The Reveal Termite Monitoring System (TMS) offers customers peace-of-mind because they are premium termite monitoring stations that can be checked on routine pest control visits to notify the PMP and homeowner if termites are present on the property. This new monitor helps PMPs quickly locate termites that may be around a customer’s home, and then allows for a healthy dialogue between PMP and homeowner about the likely threat posed by termites located in close proximity to his home and possible courses of action.

Reveal TMS features a station top that is similar to the Advance Termite Bait System, but with a smaller, two-inch housing with only wooden monitors in the units. The stations are designed to be placed around customer homes, typically about 6-10 monitors per structure.

The monitors are designed only to reveal the presence of termites. There is no bait tube or treatment component available for use in the Reveal monitors. If termites are found within a Reveal TMS monitor, the technician has the option of educating the homeowner on the occurrence and upselling the homeowner to a protection level of service that would include either a bait system installation or liquid termiticide treatment.

“The Reveal Termite Monitoring System is a high-quality new tool that helps PMPs increase revenue with customers not currently seeing termite activity but who are concerned about monitoring for any threats around their home,” said Marketing Manager Jeff Vannoy. “With swarm seasons continuing to be soft, monitoring becomes a good source of revenue while providing future termite leads for the company. The future of termite control will lie heavily on PMPs being able to create their own year round swarm season versus waiting for large lead flow experienced in past swarm seasons.”

The two-inch housing makes installing the monitors easy for technicians. The Quik-Lock® cap is easily opened with Whitmire Micro-Gen’s Spider® Station Access Tool, and the station head appeals to homeowners because it is unobtrusive and looks like a sprinkler head. Reveal TMS offers superior wood-to-soil contact, which helps deliver quick termite hits.
