4.0 out of 5 stars
sure it's australian!,
This review is from: Termites and Borers: A Homeowner's Guide (Paperback)
unlike a previous reviewer, I believe this book is a useful resource. Not EVERYONE lives in the US. Does every guide in the US preface it's title with "A US guide to....."? Of course not! A cursory look would have revealed to this "reviewer" that the book was published by NSW University press. Don't let the arrogance and ethnocentricity of the previous reviewer fool you, this book could save your house. There is a nice listing of tell tale signs of infestation, these are all most "professional exterminators" look for anyway! (save yourself the money......)

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not what I was hoping for.,
By Tim Paulus (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Termites and Borers: A Homeowner's Guide (Paperback)
The title of this book should be "Termites and Borers: An AUSTRALIAN Homeowner's Guide to Detection and Control" -- this book is for Australians. Furthermore, the book reaffirmed my belief that exterminators maintain a shroud of secrecy around the truths of their profession in order to propagate the public fear of insect infestation. The book did contain a few worthwhile facts, but not as many as can be found by typing "termite" into your favorite Internet search engine.
