Library

The ABIS library is a collection of useful reference material relating to buildings and their problems as well as timber pests such as termites.

The library is a combination of material written by ABIS as a result of our own research and practical experience together with useful information gleaned from other authoritative sources.

 

Ant Capping

Ant caps are a form of physical barrier to termites and are inserted between the lower floor framing timber and the supporting stumps, piers or masonry bases. They are usually made from galvanised sheet metal and are designed to force termites out into the open for detection during physical inspection. Any sign of future termite activity is evidenced by mud tunnels or galleries which the foraging termites bridge over the shields. Termite shields may also be formed from stainless steel mesh.
