I had a brick house in South Carolina and had termites. I was washing the wood floors and the mop went through the wood. Watering the flower box on the exterior was the cause. By watering the flowers, moisture got into the house. Termites love moisture and dark spaces. Often construction workers will toss wood scraps in new construction on cement steps. My friend had termites due to this.
