Final Solution to termites is NO MORE WOODEN STUDS OR PLATES. Wood should be banned. Instead, use galvanized sheet metal studs that come in different gauges. Won't burn, rot or warp. Also light in weight. Tin snips can used rather than loud heavy circular saws. Small 'tech screws' are used as fasteners- no compressors/ nail guns needed.

I can see you have never been on a job where they installed steel
studs. They cut them with a chop saw and it is a whole lot louder than
cutting wood.
