TERMITES - BIOLOGY AND PEST MANAGEMENT

Termites are of great interest to entomologists and all those concerned with pest management. Their complex social systems and nest building make them a fascinating subject for students of insect behavior and a serious problem for anyone responsible for crops or buildings, particularly in the tropics. This book provides a general scientific introduction to termites, covering their biology, behavior, pest status and control. The only current text of its kind, it fills a significant gap in the literature on termites. The material is aimed at advanced students of entomology and pest management, as well as professionals concerned with pest control.
