The wood-eating habits of these termites allows them to take advantage of any wooden objects. Since they hide to shield themselves from harsh conditions, they are difficult to identify their presence until significant damage has already been caused. Once they have entered the building, they do not confine themselves to wood but also infest other objects comprised of cellulose. Termites’ main entry to a structure through soil. They can also be carried through soft plastics, hard plaster sealants, rubber, sealants like silicon rubber, acrylics, as well as construction materials. Any substance that comes into close contact with soil — such as plants, trees, or plumbing fixtures is a route for infestation.
