Pine is the replacement wood on remodels, those older buildings were built from cypress and termites and cypress don't mix. SYP (Pine) is a Termite Magnet at about 1/3 the cost of cypress (if you can find it)

I wouldn't doubt that 99% of the Termite damage reported was infested Pine, Treating Pine to be Termite resistant is not kosher with Enviro Whackies, (bugs gotta eat)
