The band (4) extends from the interface (5) along a peripheral surface (7) of the penetration (2) adjacent the interface (5) and along the face (3) of the structure (1) about the interface (5). The mixture is then allowed to set. The cementitious composition is selected such that the mixture, when set, is physically impenetrable by termites such that the band (4) prevents the passage of termites through the interface (5).1/1 7 Fi.6 Fig. 1 ( ol Fig. 2
