SWMBO found termites in an interior wall as she was tidying up the day before we left for an overseas trip. I got a panicked call at work. I told her not to touch and call the exterminators, who came the same day and put in the poison the workers take back to the nest (arsenic based IIRC).
When we came home they did a thorough inspection of the whole house, drilled and poisoned under the slab and could not find any exterior entry point. That just left patching the wall to me.
We get them to do annual followup inspections. Nothing found in the last 10 years.
