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. However, species which initiate attack in the forest tree and complete their life cycle and emerge from the timber after it has dried, are able to survive only in timber which is actively decaying by wood-rotting fungi. Quite often, the first visible signs of attack by wood borers are the emergence holds (flight holdes) cut by the adults through the surface of the timber or the damage to the interior of the timber caused by the larvae. Rarely is the insect, whether it be the adult or larval stage, ever seen. Colour photographs included in the text have concentrated on visible damage to timbers as an aid to the identification of certain wood borers. In contrast, identification of termite species by damage caused to the timber is, in many cases, extremely difficult or impossible, It is important to correctly identify which species of termite is responsible for the damage. Therefore, colour photographs of some of the more common, economically significant species of termite are provided.
