The strip (15) is installed with its respective marginal edges (16, 20) integrally secured to two sections of a building structure to prevent the passage of termites therebetween. At least one marginal edge (16, 20) is integrally secured to its respective section by being adhesively 10 bonded thereto. A method of installing such a termite barrier is also disclosed.1/3 Fig 1. 12 17 1 16 21 1115 . 20 24 -2343 22-1 13 10 Fig 6. 62 61 6+66 65 63 60 6
