Termites: Biology and Pest Management

Description

Termites are of great interest to both entomologists and those concerned with pest management. On the one hand their complex social systems and nest building make them fascinating for students of insect behaviour, while on the other they are major pests of crops and buildings in the tropics and subtropics. This book provides a general scientific introduction to the termites, including their biology, behaviour, pest status and control. Commonly used ecological and laboratory techniques are described in appendices. There has been no such general book published for many years and so this title will fill a definite gap in the market. It is aimed at advanced students of entomology and pest management, as well as professionals concerned with urban and agricultural pest control. Review: Total waste - Book was an old fashioned text book presentation that even schools today would discard. It was a total waste of my money and time, gave no (absolutely none) suggestions on remedies to deal with termite infestation. Would recommend it to no one.
