|  NDT Testing of Trees
I have a large stand (15) of Hoop pines on my property they all seem to be pretty healthy. I have noticed some white activity nearby. How could I assess the trees to see if any have been impacted by white ants?? |

| Re: NDT Testing of Trees
The fastest and cheapest way is to drill a hole through the tree. You can also take a core sample. Trees can be 70% hollow and reasonably sound/healthy though, so whilst they have a nest it doesn't really mean the tree is history either.
