Termites could burn your house down
Quarlo Klobrigney:
I don't see any metal shielding to keep the termites from wanting to crawl onto the wood, or maybe it's just not zoomed up in that area. Looks like that pipe doesn't have it though..

WornerBro:
Well, I was looking for a thread with termites. Here I can add that I have termite shields, but they don't work. In general, termites appear in the house in the warm season, but they do not just appear in my house, but colonies are fleeing from somewhere. I even read faq about termite control and found out that that a typical termite inspection can cost between $ 65 and $ 100 and is usually accompanied by a report on wood destruction by insects. Moreover, they often do not guarantee the effectiveness of spot treatments, as termites can feed in many different directions.
