The sound you hear is like a clicking sound as they vibrate their heads to warn each other. They are telling each other that something is going on. The Video below shows termites found using the Termatrac T3i.

The Termatrac is the best tool we have for finding Termites. We can actually tell by the movement on the termatrac sensor whether it is termites or something else.

Also used when conditions permit is a thermal imaging camera . This is a thermal image of a termite sub nest in a wall cavity. The Termatrac T3i found the termite nest first then we used the Thermal camera.
