Australian Termites shows readers the how, which, when, where, what and why of termite and wood borer control. The previous edition of this highly-regarded and indispensable text is now out-of-date, and the new edition has been refined and rewritten as a full-fledged text and reference book for pest-control technicians and the people who train them.

Now including a colour section for easier identification of problem species, it will result in better-educated technicians and more precise termite management in the future.
