| Abstract | ||||
| Field experiment was conducted in year 2016 for the first time in Egypt, at Sangha, Kafr Saqr, Sharkia Governorate, to study some physical barriers " Metal shield, breaking glass, thick plastic bags, gravel and gravel with termiticide " against subterranean termite, Psammotermes hybostoma (Desneux). Data showed that, metal shields (Galvanized iron) and gravel with termiticide were strong barriers prevent termite attack, followed by thick plastic bags barrier which prevent the termite crossing for five months; then breaking glass barrier where the termite was able to creative some tunnels from which, while the gravel barrier failed to prevent the termite from crossing and creative the tunnels. Highly significant differences were recorded between the tested treatments. | ||||
