What are the tips to keep your PC Component & Laptop or any electronics' boxes & carboard away from inviting termite in your home?

Does anyone want to share their tips here?

If your home previously had been invaded by termites, but not yet attacked your PC boxes.

If your home is not yet invaded, what are the tips?

Termites aren't native everywhere, and in North America are largely a California, East Texas-to-Florida thing. They do reach as far north as Southern Ontario though.

Your best bet to ensure that termites don't get in your house, let alone your boxes, is to make sure there is nothing touching the ground. Eg the house has to be on a concrete basement, any wooded part of the house can't be on the ground.

And even then, if you want to protect stuff in storage, make sure to throw stuff you're not using into plastic/rubber totes that you can seal, with silica gel packets. Don't leave things in cardboard since termites and other bugs (eg moths, silvervish/firebrat's) will also eat cellulose.
