Situations conducive to have activity of termites is a whole other story, plants abutting the structure, wood fence posts against the house, any pathway from earth to wood contact, moisture (they have to have moisture and hate the sun or they die, a leaky hose bib on the side of a house is a target), its like Mars, The Martian Movie, without or within without, they will die...

'Earth Integrated' houses.
