Can termites eat through concrete?

No, termites cannot actually eat concrete. They do not have a digestive enzyme that can digest concrete. This misconception of termites eating concrete comes from the fact that soldier termites can move loose material with their mandibles, and there have been instances of loose and broken concrete being moved by the termites, thus giving the impression that they ate through the concrete.
