They've not built brick homes in a very long time. A guess last done in the 1950's. What people call a brick home is a brick layer over a frame built home.
We have a block home. I'm no building expert but, if you look at what the blocks are they are cast large cement blocks. The blocks are not solid. They usually have two or three air chambers cast into them saving weight and material-COST. Termites can and do use those tubes to get around undetected. Also, as a kid, we had some derelict block houses in the neighborhood. If, you hit the air chamber with a fairly light hammer you can punch a hole right into the block.
