Although termites are known to eat everything from wood and drywall to paper and plastic, what attracts them to a home?

While wood makes up the majority of their diet, termites thrive off dead plants and trees, gaining nutrients from the cellulose and organic fiber. They're attracted to moisture, specifically the moist soil upon which a home foundation is built.
