Seminar on termites planned

Residents who want to know how to keep termites from eating their home and furniture are invited to a seminar from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Aiea High School.

The Hawaii Area-Wide Termite Suppression Project of the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, University of Hawaii-Manoa, is presenting the event through the Aiea Community School for Adults.

Participants can ask questions regarding termites and their homes.

The UH project addresses research, extension and instruction, bringing scientists together in an effort to control termite damage to residences and public buildings.

Costs of controlling and repairing termite damage to Hawaii homes are estimated to exceed $100 million. Termite repairs to public schools are estimated at $241 million.

For more information and to register for the seminar, call 483-7306. To learn more about termites and UH research projects, see www2.hawaii.edu/ ~entomol/
