They do, but I believe they partly get a bad rap too because if they find termite eaten wood, they like to move in and kick the termites out. At least that's what I believe I've observed. (From moving into a badly termite-eaten house that needed a lot of repairs.)
A termite nest is very easy for them to expand, almost like a pre-built nest for them.
Any wood soft enough for carpenters to shape it into a home is also too soft to be structurally sound. They don’t eat wood but will shape soft rotten wood to make homes.
They are so ineffective against solid wood that many ant keepers keep them in wooden nests— which they would escape were in their power.
@CliftonR@kctipton@justafrog Basically if they are chewing your house they are a symptom of a much bigger problem. Also they eat termites— who do eat wood— even healthy wood— they are unfairly blamed for eating houses.
