The term _______ is used to indicate the treatment which is given to a building so as to prevent or control the growth of termite in a building.(a) Damp proofing(b) Water proofing(c) Leakage proofing(d) Termite proofingI had been asked this question in unit test.My enquiry is from Termite Proofing topic in section Damp Proofing, Water Proofing and Termite Proofing of Construction & Building Materials

Answer»

Correct option is (d) TERMITE proofing

For explanation I would say: Termites LIVE in a Colony and they are very fast in eating wood and other cellulosic material as food. They also damage non cellular materials like plastic, leather cover, etc. The cellulose forms their basic nutrient. They also damage materials of ORGANIC origin like household article, furniture, CLOTHING and stationery.
