Where we are (less than a month to go) in Illinois, there are termites that will eat through concrete. We had a 100 year old barn with a concrete foundation that had this particularly nasty type that was actually eating/tunneling into the concrete! We researched the issue and put out bait traps to kill them off. You can buy them on eBay for a lot less than having the local termite companies out.
