luke,

I don't understand your fears but maybe your termites are different from
mine. Get some large trash bags. Put the termite ridden lumber in the trash
bags. Seal the trash bags. Inspect the exterior of the bags for termites.
Carry the sealed lumber bags safely past your home.
The ant caps may protect your house but there is likely to be a
government advisor on such matters, called agricultural extension agents
here. There are also many businesses which work in this field.
