Sick people has a certain smell, SWMBO could detect it some of the time.
This maybe typical of people, females in particular, with heighten sense of
smell. Now if she could only detect termites!

I understand you could hear termites too as they crunch into the wood -
noisy eaters.

I've read about that. Even without a dog, it is often possible to tell if
a person is going into a seizure a minute or two before they actually
seize. They just don't teach the trick in med school.

I've read that some dogs are trained to even detect when someone is going
to have an epileptic seizure .. giving the person enough warning time to
lay down or stop working with any equipment or whatever.

Pretty cool animals, aren't they?

I've seen it on TV but don't think we have a local company with termite
finding dogs. Dogs could also detect people with illnesses like cancer.

Don't they have companies that use animals to literally 'sniff' them
out?

If your house looks perfect from the outside how do you know if it
doesn't have termites feasting on the inside? What other methods to use
to locate termites other than poking around with a screwdriver and
visual inspection? Would a maintenance contract with a pest company be
advisable regardless if there are termites or not or would DIY method
be sufficient?
