Wasn't joking at all.

It happened to a relative.

Stacked a cord of wood against the outer wall of the garage.


I can happen, but. . . . . .
First, you have to be in an area that has a lot of termites. Then you don't
stack wood on the ground or next to a building. You can usually spot
problem logs as you are cutting, splitting and stacking. Once in a while you
get a tree that was infested with bugs of one sort or another so it is a
good idea to spray with insecticide.

Personally, I've never had a problem and I'd bring in a wood supply for a
few days to a week.
