Has anyone heard of a company called HomeSafe Inspection or HomeSafe Pest Control that uses this technique? Apparently they use infrared to see through walls and then acoustics to actually hear the termites and find exactly where they are. I would be curious as to whether anyone has had any experience with this company? I'm thinking of buying a franchise from them. Thanks!
