One typical way to gain entrance is through tunnels up the walls of your house. This is one of the things inspectors look for. I suppose they could also enter through cracks in the slab and gain entry to interior walls. Under those circumstances it might be sometime before any evidence is visible. Interior wood should have been sprayed, however. They cannot chew through concrete but they can get through cracks in concrete.

If they can not chew through concrete..... then the only way into my home would be through the eves or roof vents..... correct? And I have yet to see roof trusses treated with any "green spray" termite control.

With $120 a year I can by a lot of "Snake Oil"....
