 representative buildings, inspected in 11 

 California counties, infested, 62% by sub- 

 terranean termites, 25% by fungi, 5% by

 and pass it through digestive tract, can 

 widen minute cracks. In San Fernando 

 Valley 46% slab houses infested within 

 5 years of construction, considerable pro- 

 portion within 1 to 2 years.)
