Termites are one of the main insects that destroy materials. Physical, Chemical, and biological factors influencing the damage to wood and other materials by termites are discussed. Within the physical factors, environmental influences of temperature, humidity, and electromagnetic field conditions and material properties of hardness, surface, and internal structure and thickness of foils and fibres should be observed. The Chemical factors involved are sensorial influences such as repellency, attraction, and Stimulation and toxic influences such as toxic efficiency, effect on symbionts, and aging of effective substances. Biological factors include termite behaviour connected with gnawing activity, influence of Substrates, and choice or compulsory tests and various other biological factors such as species and race of the termites, number and composition of groups as well as vitality and developmental stage of the colony.
