Comparison of Termite Resistance on Wood Treated with Diesel and Dead Engine Oil

The purpose of this study was to compare the severity of termite attack on wood blocks treated with different type of preservatives which are dead engine oil, diesel and diesel-dead engine oil combinations on three different timber species. Other than that, this experiment was also to compare the se...
