Termites!

[John R Fortiner]

Can't help with certainty regarding anti-termite products, but thought
that you mighe be interested in what happened to me when I was sanding
down a stripped S&S L in the early 80's for refinishing and rebuilding. 
As I was hand sanding the treble side of the rim, my hand pushed the
sanding block right into the rim - no wood present under the veneer - 
thanks to those little buggers.  IOW those things CAN be really
destructive.
btw the instrument had been brought here from Florida.
