Abstract
This paper presents thermal and non-thermal e®ects of millimeter wave exposure of various species of termites. Termites exhibit resonant absorption in the millimeter wave region, where Mie scattering dominates, and therefore direct heating of termites with minimal background heating is possible. Our experiments show that scatter and absorption simulations are confirmed at 24 GHz, 43.2 GHz and 60.2 GHz
