Abstract:
This Data Sheet summarises the outcome of a three-year research project to ascertain through what crack widths in concrete slabs subterranean termites could penetrate, and whether or not they could widen narrower cracks. It also discusses the major findings in the context of the requirements of the current Australian Standards for termite management.
