Terminator Ray Gun
One more weird project from the basement lab
ELC 6-3-11

This project originated from a need to eradicate small infestations of termites, in walls, without having to resort to invasive or chemical means. 
The radiator is placed as close as possible to the wall and left to run for approx. ten minutes.  This is only effective for small colonies
that have known locations, as treated area is only about 1' X 1', due to the narrow radiated beam.  Larger areas may be treated by moving the device in a grid, but can
be time consuming.
