Termites are around in much of the country. I once owned a home in Los Alamos, NM, built by a man from California who had insisted the framing be termite proofed wood. Turned out to be a good thing. The developer had buried scrap lumber under a house he built across the street. Termites were in many of the nearby homes, probably brought in with somebody’s firewood. They are in Idaho as well. Our Realtor up there insisted there were none there until I sent her a link showing there were and she had been selling homes there for fifteen years. No one wants to talk about them except maybe in California where it is no big deal and everyone just deals with it.
