Many species of timber can be attacked by wood-destroying insects such as wood borers and termites. When dealing with timbers, it is important to be aware of the existence and habits of these insects. With some species of wood borer or termite, an infestation can result in serious damage necessitating treatment and repair or replacement of the affected timber. With other species, weakening of the timber is unlikely to occur, and unless a good appearance must be maintained, remedial action is unnecessary. In many situations, preventative measures can significantly reduce the damage caused by these wood-destroying insects. The aim of this handbook is to provide architects, engineers, builders, surveyors, foresters, members of the pest control and timber industries, and the general public with a ready source of reference to the more important wood borers and termites encountered in Australia. Most of the wood borers dealt with are pests of seasoned timber.
