Analogous to the Galvanic Series, this list shows that termites
prefer certain woods (1).
This list allowed us to formulate the sacrificial wood protection
system.
Notes:
- Although balsa would appear to be the ideal sacrificial wood,
the sheer volume required renders it useless.
- The patented composite structure of the boaterm block results
in a combination of taste, texture, and density which places it at the
pinnacle of utility as a sacrificial termite block.
