Termites can eat certain types of engineered wood products, because most engineered wood materials—such as plywood, oriented strand board, and laminated veneer lumber—are constructed using real wood fibers and veneers bonded together with adhesives. While the synthetic resins and glues used in manufacturing can sometimes offer minor deterrent properties compared to raw natural timber, they are not entirely termite-proof unless the wood has been specifically treated with chemical preservatives or borate solutions during production. Homeowners should always implement standard pest control measures and moisture barriers to protect engineered wood structures from potential infestations.
