    ooopsie ---------- more facts and substantiation coming

    Shoddy building practices can increase the risk of termite attack in Queensland houses. Here are a few key points from the search results:
    - Queensland's climate is conducive to termite activity, and termites cause more damage than storms, floods, and fires combined in the state.[1]
    - Termites are attracted to cellulose-based building materials like wood, which are commonly used in home construction.[2] Improper use or lack of termite barriers during construction can make homes vulnerable.
    - Factors like poor drainage, leaks, and wood in direct contact with soil around the home's foundation create conditions attractive to termites.[3] Shoddy building that allows these conditions increases termite risk.
    - The search results emphasize the importance of proper termite management systems and barriers installed during construction to prevent future infestations.[2][3][4] Failure to include these protective measures due to shoddy building leaves homes susceptible.
    - One result notes that at least four factors affect termite risk: location, foundation construction, concealed structural materials used, and homeowner vigilance in maintenance.[2] Shoddy building practices related to these factors heighten termite vulnerability.
    In summary, the search results clearly indicate that poor quality construction, such as lack of termite barriers, improper drainage, and use of easily-accessible wood can create entry points and attractants for termites, putting Queensland homes at greater risk of infestation and damage.[1][2][3][4]
