When building or renovating wooden structures, use termite-resistant or pressure-treated wood. These types of wood are infused with chemicals that deter termites and increase the wood's resistance to decay and pests.

Hey home buddies! So, I've been fighting the termite battle, and what works for me is regular inspections – catch those little buggers early. Also, keep wooden structures away from soil contact, like decks and fences – termites love that hidden highway. I swear by using treated wood too – it's like termite repellent armor.
