Do termites eat cold formed steel frames?

Do termites eat cold formed steel frames?

Termites are known for their ability to cause significant damage to wooden structures, but they do not eat or damage cold-formed steel frames.

Termites primarily feed on cellulose-based materials, such as wood, paper, and plant debris, as these materials provide them with the necessary nutrients.

Cold-formed steel is made of galvanized steel and does not contain cellulose.

To protect against termites, avoid wood and frame with metal.
