The work described in this paper has demonstrated that chemically modified Corsican pine sapwood with a homologous series of linear chain carboxylic acid anhydrides provided bioprotection against the subterranean termites Reticulitermes flavipes. By varying the reaction time, various levels of modifications were obtained. There was no significant reduction in feeding above 16% WPG (weight percent gain due to modification), suggesting that modification to WPGs greater than this did not offer additional protection. The type of anhydride employed has little influence on resistance against termites.
