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.

  • Tunnels in heartwood may be filled with resin which may dry and fall out giving the impression of fresh damage

  • Adults range from 5 - 85 mm
