Termites: Biology and Pest Management

Termites are of great interest to both entomologists and those concerned with pest management. On the one hand their complex social systems and nest buildings make them fascinating for students of insect behaviour, while on the other they are major pests of crops and buildings in the tropics. This book provides a general scientific introduction to the termites, including their biology, behaviour, pest status and control. It is aimed at advanced students of entomology and pest management, as well as professionals concerned with pest control.
