Laboratory Culture and Experimental Techniques using Termites. I966. NRI Publication ISBN 0859544559. Record Number : 19981110297
Several species of termites have become serious pests of crops, forestry and buildings. In order to find methods for controlling termites it is important to be able to culture them successfully
in the laboratory for testing. Termites are also used as an important bioassay tool, e.g. for testing construction materials for their durability and new pesticides or other compounds for their environmental effects. This manual gives an introductory guide to the setting up, maintenance and use of termite colonies in the laboratory. It will be of great value to researchers into termite control and behaviour, and to pest control agencies wishing to carry out simple screening tests.

Editorial Reviews
“His chapter on control methods is excellent, and stresses integrated methods, particularly use of borates, barriers, and baits. . .The author does provide a good enough overview for the trained professional [Pest Control Operator] to learn where the state of the art is now, and for beginners to get a solid orientation in the important basics of the trade. And all who read it will understand termites from the ground up.” –IPM Practitioner
“Termites are among the most intriguing and important insects in the world. . . . Because of their unique capabilities as effective decomposers of cellulose, termites are essential in refueling many ecosystems by recycling vegetative nutrients to soils, but their appetite for wood also renders them structural pests worldwide . . . the author takes on the ambitious but engaging task of surveying both the biology and control of this diverse and captivating order of insects. . . . The strength of the book is its presentation of a large number of fascinating facets of termite biology . . . The diagrams are typically clear and useful, the tables are effectively compiled . . . , and the photographs are well selected to complement the text. . . . Pearce’s book . . . capably acquaints readers with the diversity and wonder of termites, and provides an introduction of how to cope with them as structural pests.”–The Quarterly Review of Biology
“This book provides a general scientific introduction to termites, including their biology, behavior, pest status, and control. It is directed to advanced students in entomology and pest management, as well as to professionals.”–Entomological News
