Abstract(s)

Drywood termite is an insect pest that causes great damage by consuming an entire house wood infra-structure. In the Azores it is dangerously well established and its impacts are increased when combined with the region's regular seismic activity. The pest is mainly established in the historical city centers, mostly composed by old housing and inhabited by aged citizens with low socioeconomic, literacy and physical mobility resources.
